I would highly recommend great instructors and a great environment to learn

In town for IBJJF with my daughter and her coach (both competing). Very fortunate to find Alliance Atlanta. Both kids and adults were great for training. Very large mat... Read More space and facilities were clean. Felt very welcome there and will come back anytime while in Atlanta. I've been to lots of gyms and this is absolutely one of the best. If you are ready for an amazing improvement in your life, come try Alliance Atlanta. You won't be disappointed.

Super friendly people, welcomed me as a drop in from outta town, made me feel super welcome. Very knowledgeable professors. Big shoutout to Cory for hooking me up.

Dropped in while in town. Welcoming group of guys. Super high level, lots of people at all levels to train with.

Alliance Martial Arts Center has truly changed my life. As a woman in her 40s trying out a male-dominated sport, I was initially intimidated, but this center has completely reshaped... Read More my mindset. I used to think I could defend myself, but I quickly learned that self-defense, like any skill, requires dedication and practice. One class is not enough—it’s about consistent effort and following a structured curriculum. What I love most is that advancement here isn’t based on opinion; it’s based on mastering specific skills. If you’re looking for confidence, improved fitness, and a deeper understanding of your body’s capabilities, this is the place to be. Beyond that, I’ve found a community that feels like family, and friendships I never expected. If you’re ready for a life-changing experience, I highly recommend Alliance Martial Arts Center!

I moved from Brazil almost 10 years ago and visited and trained in different gyms in Atlanta. But no one compares with Alliance. The high level training takes my Jujitsu... Read More to another level Plus the friendships, loyalty and forgiveness. It does not matter to me that I have to drive 1.5hrs round trip because I know I will achieve my goal. Doesn’t matter if you are beginner or advanced, Alliance is for all. Come join us!

Beautiful school full of beautiful people.

I have to start by saying that this review pertains only to membership maintenance and billing, not to the trainers at Alliance. In fact, I am extremely grateful for the... Read More introduction to Jiu Jitsu. I've learned a lot, especially from Doug, who is very patient with us beginners. It was a wonderful learning experience for both me and my husband. However, if the owner or manager is reading this, I implore you to hire someone specifically to manage membership and facilitate communication between your members and your billing company. When we signed the contracts, Corey, the main salesperson we spoke with, mentioned that we could pause the membership for a month if our schedule changed. When I needed to pause due to a medical procedure, I was informed that I had to notify him at least a week before the next billing cycle. This was inconvenient as I couldn't manage it myself online; everything had to go through him. I let that slide. A few months later, I had a follow-up procedure and made sure to text Corey early. I received no response or confirmation and was still billed that month. I dismissed it, thinking of it as a contribution to the trainers. The problem intensified after my contract ended. I continued to see charges. When I contacted Corey, he claimed the contract was extended by a month because I had paused it, even though he never confirmed the pause, and I had seen the charges anyway. He said he would look into it but never followed up. Now a few months after our contracts have ended, we've received calls from the billing company threatening to send our account to collections. I've texted Corey again and left voicemails with no response. Having moved out of Georgia, we can't visit the studio in person to locate the right person for escalation. At this point, I am so desperate that I am leaving a Google review in hopes of drawing some attention to this issue. Please apply the discipline you teach in class to other aspects of your business. This situation is ridiculous and nobody should have to endure such issues. I urge the management to immediately address these concerns and implement a more efficient system for handling membership management. Failing to resolve these billing discrepancies not only affects us but also reflects poorly on your otherwise reputable establishment. I am currently considering legal advice to protect our credit, and I hope it won’t be necessary with your prompt attention to this matter. I left a voice mail again just now, please call us back!

I started training at alliance a year ago and I am forever grateful to Doc and the whole alliance family. Doc is kind, patient, and is an excellent coach. He... Read More makes understanding difficult concepts into things that even I can understand. I love his noon class! It’s the highlight of my day. I can’t wait for my next year of Training!

World class place. I did a drop in class while visiting from our kids town. Intermediate class drilled three fundamental escapes from side control. Everyone felt safe... Read More and respectful to roll with.

All the instructors are passionate and teach you well. Corey takes care of your membership related issue very well. Good place to train 👍 Good members too. Welcoming atmosphere.

Joining Alliance Headquarters has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I initially signed up just to stay active and move my body, but what I’ve gained here... Read More is so much more than I could have ever imagined. From day one, I felt welcomed by the professors, coaches, and teammates who are truly passionate about Jiu-Jitsu and about each person who walks through the door. This isn’t just a gym; it’s a family that supports you in every way—on and off the mat. The professors and coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but they genuinely care about each student’s progress and well-being. They go above and beyond to help you learn, grow, and achieve your personal best. They celebrate every win with you, no matter how big or small, and they are right there to help you overcome any challenges. The camaraderie and support from my teammates is something I’m so grateful for. Training at Alliance has not only improved my physical strength and technique but has also boosted my confidence, resilience, and mindset. I’ve made lifelong friendships and feel so inspired to keep pushing myself every day. If you’re looking for a place that will push you to your limits, help you achieve your goals, and surround you with positive, passionate, and dedicated people, Alliance Headquarters is that place. Thank you to everyone here for building such an amazing, supportive community. I can’t recommend this gym highly enough!

Awesome experience training here. Leo and the other trainers are very knowledgeable and engaging, and Ricky is always willing to help with whatever you need

I was traveling to Atlanta for the week and was hoping to find a good place to train. Alliance was even better than I had hoped. Everyone was super friendly,... Read More the instruction was top notch and the facility was clean. If you’re a local and looking to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu you should definitely consider Alliance!

Its a lifestyle, an amazing community, you will have no regrets about joining!

I moved to Atlanta from Portugal for four months and was looking for a place to train. I found not just an academy, but a second home here in the... Read More US. The atmosphere is fantastic, the instructors are top-notch, and the teaching method is exceptional. My Jiu-Jitsu has grown immensely since I started training here. A big thank you to Alliance Atlanta

Alliance is one of the premiere Jiu-jitsu academies in the Metro Atlanta area, with world-class instruction and programs for all ages. I highly recommend Alliance to anyone who is looking to... Read More start training in this fast-growing martial art!

Fantastic club and one of the strongest in the country. They are my go-to drop in when I’m in Atlanta!

What can I say about Alliance? The second you walk in those doors - you’re greeted by Corey at the front desk. One of the friendliest and most helpful guys.... Read More Able to answer any questions and calm any qualms you may have about starting BJJ. The instructors at Alliance HQ are world class. Head Instructor and Professor Leo - who teaches Intermediate and Advanced - is a World Champion and it’s evident in the way he instructs and the techniques he uses. He’s very patient and makes sure everyone understands concepts before moving on . (It takes me a couple times watching him drilling a technique before I’m able to do it 😅). Professor DJ, Professor Rick, Professor Jeffery, Professor Yusef, Coach Doc - all AMAZING educators in the art of BJJ. Each with their own style of teaching. The facility itself is clean, has ample mat space, clean bathrooms, and a sitting area. My kids are in the kids program and it is phenomenal. Not only do they learn the fundamentals of BJJ, but they also learn respect for one another and life lessons. Coach Doc (Head instructor for the kids program), Prof Yusef, Prof Rick, and Coach Kevin are all so great with the kids. They find a way to make the kids laugh and have fun with each class. I am a female that trains BJJ - and the female community at Alliance is so uplifting and empowering. The true meaning of girl power 💪. Alliance ATL as a whole functions as a large family. We all support and help one another out. There’s no where else I’d rather train and no other team I’d rather be on. To anyone reading this and having doubts on whether to join Alliance or even on the fence about trying BJJ - do it. It’ll be one of the best things you’ve ever done for yourself. ❤️

Amazing atmosphere, amazing people great coaching !

I dropped in to visit noon No Gi with Professor Leo last week and it’s was such a great class! I’ve used the technique he taught several times in rolls... Read More the following days, with lots of success already. Also, Leo stated rules for mat etiquette/ submissions amongst different belt levels before regular training began, which I appreciate the clarity, as a visitor, and if I was their regular student, would also think is so great when we have visitors because everyone is on the same page with the goal to be safe. Plenty of mat space and the members, even the ones who worked standing, had extremely good mat awareness. I train at another gym closer to where I live, but we’re so lucky to have Alliance headquartered in Atlanta. I take strength and conditioning classes, in the area, with several local Alliance competitors, and their gym’s culture of healthy athletes, has positively impacted me and my teammates to also prepare our bodies for the demands of jiu jitsu competition in a sustainable way. Plenty of safe training partners here, lots of female training partners in the class I took even though it was the middle of the day, the mats, facility, and women’s bathroom are clean. They have two shower stalls in the women’s bathroom which is awesome if you have to go back to work after training. The front desk staff was friendly and organized. This is a great place to train if you’re looking for a home gym, definitely check them out!

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Excellent instruction. Thank you for having me while I was visiting town...

I did a fundamentals class recently and I really enjoyed the professors intentional communication to help maneuver new moves and be safe. A great gym, I will keep training here.

Thank you, Alliance ATL, for the warm welcome! We truly enjoyed the 8 and up class great energy, instruction, and atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!
