Unlock the power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Pearland, Southbelt, Friendswood, and South Houston. Join our top-rated Martial Art School Houston
I highly recommend Alliance BJJ School as an exceptional training facility for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. My daughter has had the privilege of being a student at Alliance for 1 year and we have consistently been impressed with the professionalism, cleanliness, and overall quality of the school. Alliance stands out for several reasons. Firstly, the instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable in their craft. They possess a deep understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques and can effectively communicate and teach these techniques to students of all levels. The facility itself is well-maintained and clean, creating a safe and hygienic environment for training. The instructors and fellow students create a positive environment that motivates individuals to push their limits and achieve their goals. Alliance BJJ School is an exceptional training facility and I have consistently been impressed with the professionalism.
Great staff. Professional and patient. Grandsons have been going to martial arts here for two years. Total satisfaction.
I have been at this gym for a few months now, and honestly this is probably the best gym there is out there. They are super friendly and patient with their new/old members. Everyone helps each other! It’s really the best kind of environment to be in !
Excellent, multi program studio/dojo. Good facilities, great staff. I like the options available. Want to do gi bjj? Of course. Muay Thai? Several nights a week. No gi? Grappling? MMA focus? All available, and some options for almost any schedule. They also have an apparently awesome yoga class that I havent checked out yet but hear great things about. ALSO, they have excellent options for kids too. However, unlike some dojos, it doesn't feel like the adult program is a second thought. It genuinely feels like they care about both adult and kid development, without sacrificing one for the other. If you've ever even thought about a combat sport, come by and check it out.
Super amazing place. I'm 50 and my son is 9. When my son saw me training, Hebsaid "Dad I want to do it too". I'm stronger, healthier, and more confident as a family protector. 💪🏾🙏🏽
Was visiting from the UK and dropped in for one of their Gi classes. They were very accommodating and welcoming. A great club that I will be definitely revisiting when I’m back in town.
Absolutely love it here! I've taken the yoga, Bjj (mixed and women's) , and muay thai classes. Everyone is super nice and helpful. It's nice to learn new skills and meet new people as well. I try to go to all the classes I can! My favorite class is the Women's BJJ/Self Defense. I love Mr.Martin! He's the best and we always have fun in class.
Alliance is a great school for everyone! It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or experienced all of the Professors are passionate about Jiu Jitsu, teaching, and facilitating a welcoming environment for new and current students. They have a great community atmosphere and I couldn’t recommend this place enough!
I cannot say enough great things about Alliance BJJ Houston. I've had the pleasure of being apart of this BJJ family for 6 years and have loved every second of it. Everyone is so welcoming and honestly make you feel at home from day one! This place will change your life. Highly recommend!
I stumbled upon Alliance a few months ago, and it has truly become my second home. As someone relatively new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), I couldn't have asked for a better place to start my journey.
Amazing place where the employees truly care about your experience. Very clean gym and great instruction.
My favorite place to be with some of the best people I know. The culture here is as good or better than you will find anywhere for BJJ or otherwise. Got really lucky finding this place early, and being part of the growth of the school.
Everyone from the professors to your fellow same color belt are friendly and helpful to help you understand and succeed. Techniques are broken down into fine details to help everyone understand why it is done a certain way. When it comes to seminars, they are great from well known professors in Jiu Jitsu. These extra techniques are good to widen your knowledge in this craft.
I have been going to Alliance BJJ Houston for a few weeks now and I am very impressed. They offer several kinds of classes, not just BJJ although BJJ is the main focus. They have classes for BJJ Gi and No Gi, Muay Thai, Yoga, and fitness classes. BJJ and Muay Thai is offered for adults as well as for kids. I have gone to BJJ Gi, yoga and fitness classes and I part of my orientation was with the Muay Thai instructor. Everyone on the staff is very friendly. The facilities are clean, and I definitely feel like this is a safe environment to learn something that can be harmful without the proper instruction and equipment. If you are near the area and have been thinking about learning BJJ/Muay Thai, or even yoga, and staying fit, you would do yourself a favor by at least checking this place out.
it became one of my favorite parts of my day.
Never been to the school however I encountered some of their students out in a restaurant where I did some kicks for the staff there. Incredibly supportive and chill outside their school
I joined Alliance BJJ Pearland in summer 2023. I have no prior martial arts experience. This gym has been an awesome place to learn. The classes range from beginners to advanced students and everybody is always willing to help each other grow and develop. The owner and other professors are incredible and they are keeping me motivated on this challenging journey. Overall a great place to train!
Excellent coaches and a great training environment. Plenty of class times throughout the week to fit any schedule.
Great environment, very easy to assimilate yourself into. BJJ is something I look forward to now and Alliance has helped me reach that point.
Really friendly staff ; hard work but worth it . There’s so many classes you can take with your membership here I feel like it’s definitely worth for what your paying .
Great
Its a great place where your kid learn an enjoy everyday
My 1st Day was just Yesterday May 22nd and I was Excited and Nervous about the Journey and Experience that I’m about to take, so far what I think about it. 1st days are always a Learning one because I was told to come on Monday, didt know what to expect but I land on a Day as a first to learn how to do a Triangle Choke Hold😅 but the Warm ups before Learning it were Good for me but Never had the Orientation class that I need to do this Friday so I can start getting the Vibe of things lol. As a First day it was Great and Fun 1st Day, Can’t wait to go back!
Alliance BJJ Houston is an incredible place with incredible people. The relationships and camaraderie I’ve developed over the last year with great people are something I did not expect when signing up but they are definitely something I cherish. All of the coaches and professors do an excellent job when teaching the techniques. They make sure the students know the fine details that will ultimately make them a better Jiu Jitsu player. Couldn’t be happier to be a student here and learn from some of the best.
Mike tailored a workout plan to meet my goals . I highly recommended this studio for your fitness needs. I am currently down 60 pounds from where I started . Can’t wait to see where I am in a year . Plus they have great crawfish boils.
I can't say enough good things about Alliance. From the instructors to the facility. Its a high quality academy from top to bottom. They foster an amazing, inclusive, positive learning environment which creates a wonderful experience for everyone involved. From beginners to seasoned vets... its a place where you can come, learn and get better everyday. Thank you Alliance!
Absolutely awesome place to train! Was in Houston for work and these guys allowed me to train with them. They welcomed me in like I was part of the team. This place gives me a reason to want to come back to Houston now! Keep up the great work!!!
I have been participating in Muay Thai for almost a whole year now and this expierience with this team has been the most positive life changer for me. I went from 275 pounds down to 245 and I’m still dropping weight. I couldn’t be more thankful and more grateful for their work and commitment to the community. The coaches are amazing! The camaraderie and sportsmanship is the best in the game. The facility is very well put together and the perks are awesome. I suggest very highly that you try this out, you won’t regret it!
This month marks 2 years since I started training at Alliance BJJ. This is my go-to spot to work out, destress and unwind. The environment is welcoming from the moment I walk in and comfortable to the minute I walk out. The staff members are friendly and always available to answer any questions. This academy has GREAT professors and instructors who are passionate about teaching martial arts. I trust learning from their experience and expertise. I love that they prioritize safety and work patiently with their students, especially beginners. They never forget to motivate and encourage us. It keeps me wanting to go back and train harder. Best of all is the friendships that I’ve made with the team members. I’m thankful for them and honored to be part of the team! I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s trying to achieve a new fitness goal this year. Try out all or one class, you won’t regret it!
I’ve been training at Alliance BJJ Houston for about 2.5 years. We have a great gym culture and family atmosphere! Staff is very knowledgeable and classes are offered at various times throughout the day to accommodate everyone’s schedule. Highly recommend!!!
I love the trainers and the people that train here we are really a big family!
Great instructors, beautiful facility, top notch technique.
Alliance BJJ Houston has been a much needed reset in my life. Prior to joining, I did my research and learned that this place 100% the best place to train in town. Not many places have a 6am class, but this place does at least 3 times a week! It’s also a WeDefy Foundation approved facility which is a big deal for the veteran community. I’ve been able with a small group of likeminded warriors that train with me at 6am. This was something I was missing since leaving the army over a decade ago. Thus far, I’ve learned the following during my BJJ journey: It forced me to recognize deficiencies not only on the mat but also in my persona. Things I did not know that had become part of me and I did not like. Thus, I am actively striving to significantly improve in those areas of my life (and the mats). The coaches at Alliance BJJ Houston care about each and every individual — from the youngest person to the oldest. Whatever your goals are, they will help you succeed and work with you anyway possible. It’s more than a gym membership…it’s a family & support system.
Been going for a few months now. Great atmosphere and friendly group. That allows you to push yourself no matter your level of fitness/skill. Very good for beginners with no experience.
I’ve been at Alliance for about a year now. The staff and instructors are very friendly. The team is great, and I have built friendships through training. There is tons of mat space and a wide selection of class times to fit into your schedule. Highly recommend.
Alliance is a very well established Jiu Jitsu gym, I have been training with them for over a year now and I wouldn’t change it for anything. The coaches are well prepared and very knowledgeable and the community is caring and welcoming, there are classes for all types of schedules and levels and they really go that extra mile to ensure you feel comfortable and motivated on your bjj journey. I would 100% recommend it to anybody both experienced looking for a new place or trying to start a new life changing activity!
Danny and his staff at Alliance provide an excellent environment conducive to growth in all areas of life. The facility is new and well maintained on a regular basis with plenty of classes to choose from. Signing up and becoming a member of this team was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I'm so grateful to have met so many amazing individuals during my time there.
Since I started training here I have grown so much! What Danny and his team have created here is special. If you are thinking of starting BJJ or just getting in shape, do yourself a favor and come train with us!
Alliance has an outstanding BJJ program. The instruction is excellent. The facilities are first rate and the staff is organized and helpful. There are a ton of class times, so there are slots for just about any schedule. This is a great gym whether you are a hobbyist or a serious competitor. I highly recommend!
Coach Mike, Coach Austin, and Marco are absolutely what you need in order to fulfill your goals. The coaches push you to do your best, check in on you, care about your overall wellness, and are so fun! The family type atmosphere is so welcoming, especially for people like me who have anxiety about going to gyms. All the gym members are so friendly and supportive.
I love this place. Signed up for the 6 week challenge. The only reason I did not succeed was because I cheated on my diet. they tell you how important diet is and it is honestly the most important part so be ready to be disciplined. Overall I did lose weight and fat, feel better and stronger. I love all the instructors and the variety of classes they offer. I will definitely be continuing my fitness journey here.
I have nothing bad to say about Alliance, all the instructors are very helpful and the atmosphere is fantastic, they help you a lot specially if you’re a beginner, this is the first time i do a review for a gym, but Alliance really deserve it, great place to workout and learn martial arts.
This place is amazing! Everyone wants to see you succeed, so they all help you. It’s like a family. Which gym have you gone to, that the coach will invite you to his house for a Halloween party? He invited everyone!! I do wish there was a 3 and 6 month membership. If there was more woman’s classes as well, but the MOD 1 classes are really fun and easy. It was intimidating at first but then people are so friendly, it’s not so bad after all.
Great place to train, all of the staff is very friendly and really try to cultivate a close knit community. I reached my goals thanks to all of the instructors help and guidance.
Alliance will definitely change your life. They'll push your mind and body further than it's ever been!
Everyone here is very friendly and are always willing to help! The coaches and instructors are super awesome as well! I am very glad I joined this gym!
Everyone is professional and dedicated to not only teaching self defense and discipline but they are also dedicated to bringing out the full potential in every student to include living a healthy lifestyle, a financially stable life. I’ve also gained friends true genuine friends here .
Hi, I ran across Alliance BJJ on Facebook where they were introducing their 42 day fit challenge. I responded and was immediately contacted and started the very next day. I don’t want to get to personal here but I feel the opportunity came at the right time in my life. I call my current situation “Pandemic Weight”. I found myself less active and falling into weight gain depression. After starting the 42 day fit challenge, I have to say I feel good, happy with the quick results and pleased with this facility. I attended the 5 am session with training Jon Giles who is not only compassionate in what he offers for people like me but is patient and very observant in what type of workout your body needs. I love how coach, what I call him, catered to everyone who was attended at the 5 am session making the workout experience less stressful but extreme enough to get out of us what we were holding back. And for me that was fear of how I looked (body) and what I could accomplish. If anyone wants to sign up and is an early bird, I recommend attending the 5 am sessions with Jon Giles. It was a challenge for me but I loved it found myself ready and willing to get up to attend class. It helped that Coach Jon made class fun and was is very encouraging. Each mild stone accomplished coach was visibly happy for me and that made me want to work harder and keep pushing myself. I appreciate everything he has help me with. I plan on signing up to continue my journey and take advantage of all the other classes Alliance offers. Thanks 😊 YMK
I actually shy away from writing reviews, but I really wanted to write a little something about this place to show my gratitude!! The facility and staff are awesome!!! I became aware of Alliance BJJ as part of a 42 day fit challenge on social media by chance. I responded with interest and signed up and started orientation the same day. They offer so many classes among fit camp classes, BJJ, yoga, meditation, Muy Thai, boxing & wrestling!! It has definitely been a challenge for me, and I love it!! I start every weekday morning with John Giles’ fit camp class which I wouldn’t miss in the world!! He is extremely encouraging and wants to see each student succeed!! Actually, every single Instructor there goes to great lengths to make sure their students get the proper attention in help their students pursue their goals and succeed! I get so much encouragement from the staff as well as other members of the facility which makes it such a family!! I actually go to several classes a day. They offer more services I didn’t mention, such as private, semi-private & group sessions, meal planning, etc as well. The sky is the limit. You won’t be sorry or disappointed and don’t let fear keep you from doing something for you!! Go ahead and go for it!!
This is the place you’ve been looking for! Here, you will be more than a number, everyone is motivated to help you reach your goals & you feel the community spirit. They have showers and an infrared sauna! The fit camp changed my life!! Don’t wait any longer to join.
I attend the 5a fit camps mostly and it's a great way to start the day! The workouts are challenging...full body soreness... Our instructor John has great energy and is very empowering!
This is an awesome gym for all levels!!! Super clean and a great atmosphere.
I absolutely love this place!! Many classes to choose from all ages and genders. I love the fact they work with you where you are in your fitness journey but I promise you won’t stay there. Constantly getting stronger, skills improving and confidence raised every time. My favorite go to class is the 5am fit camp with John! He is great, and the workouts will leave you empty but will energize you for the week.
By far the best gym I’ve ever joined and likely the last the team here is welcoming and experienced they really push you to be you’re best self and have helped me really get my health in check I’m only 3 weeks in and I’ve already seen a significant change in weight I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to change my their life! 10/10
I started going to Alliance as a fit challenge and instantly loved it, as an observer you can tell they really care about making you a better person in general. Daily reminders, motivation, meal plans, trainers they provide all the tools for you. All you need to bring is will and dedication.
Excellent environment, all coaches are committed to teach, motivate and guide you thru all the process. It’s not only about losing weight, it’s more of a lifestyle that you create, a better version of yourself. They have so many different ways and classes that help you find your motivation and get closer to your goal. I would definitely 100% recommend this place if you are looking for a place to work on a better version of yourself without judgement and with the best experienced team.
Let me just say that this place is simply phenomenal! I recently hit a plateau in my training at the gym and wanted a new challenge to lose some weight. I was a total beginner from the start, but with Alliance BJJ guidance and support I wasn’t overwhelmed. In my few weeks there, I was able to learn fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, and Muay Thai. But the best part was I was able to lose 5% percent body fat which I probably could not have done with out the help of Alliance BJJ. I enjoyed learning in the clean facility and the friendly staff.
Amazing place!!!, the trainers are super friendly, the classes are super fun and the gym is outstanding. If you are looking for a place to improve your healthy habits and learn self-defense this is the place to go. they treat you like family. I want to thank John Giles for supporting me and making me improve every day I was in this family.
ive had a blast for the past 6 weeks with coach Jon Giles he was a very motivating coach, leveling up my skills in working out on my physique and eating habits. At times getting me to where I need to be working out and breathing exercises were great, i feel full of energy and motivated to continue my journey to having great healthy working body. My Advice to anyone is dont give up and commit on what you start to a better life ahead of you and Alliance BJJ can get you there with the motivating staff.
I started at Alliance BJJ a couple months ago and I have enjoyed it from the start. I was out of shape and overweight. Between BJJ, their fit camp, and assistance with nutrition, I lost 20 pounds in the first six weeks. I am still losing weight and feel much better. Alliance BJJ has truly changed my life for the better. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I am now addicted to BJJ and wish I would have joined earlier. I learn something new each and every time I attend a class. There are many classes to choose from in addition to BJJ. The facility is always clean, and the staff is great!
Alliance BJJ Houston was a different kind of workout experience. When I accepted the 42 day challenge, I had no idea what to expect. Then I set my goal to lose 5% body fat. Let the fun begin...I started with Jiu-jitsu and eventually added boxing along with the very structured workout plan and the fat melted away. Literally, I lost 7% body fat in 6 weeks! I feel amazing! Thank you to the entire coaching staff, you all were great and super supportive!
Everyone there is Amazing. I go for muay thai and coach Mike is very informative and pays close attention to all of his students, not to mention he's pretty funny. Everyone there is also very respectful! 10 out of 10!
Great family friendly environment for training. Lots of class options and times from 5am to 8pm. Classes are great for all skill levels and have focuses on BJJ, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Yoga, Fit Camps, and MMA. They are open 7 days a week.
My son and I joined Alliance BJJ a month ago, and we’ve enjoyed having a great place to train and learn. Danny and his team have provided a welcoming environment, professionalism, and a love for what they do. I keep a very busy work schedule. So, I’m thankful for a gym with multiple class times throughout the day, and different combat sports to get confident with.
I’ve been here for over a year now the coaches are great and I’ve met a lot of fantastic ppl that I’m proud to call friends. My favorite part is when I step on the mats I’m not thinking about work/life, just focused on learning techniques or trying not to get choked lol.
I joined the challenge at Bjj Houston, and it was an awesome experience, I have always been a cardio person so I wanted something more challenging, let me tell you this gym will Definitely give you a challenge, I worked muscle that I didn’t even know that I could work, my favorite was fit camp, Muay Thai and boxing, by the way all of the trainers(instructors/coaches) was very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the Technique done correctly. So over all the quality is Superb!
My son absolutely loves it and looks forward to attending every day. He feels the love and family dynamic that all of the coaches provide. Finally a place where he fits in!
Great gym great people!
I enjoy how the staff are always willing to help people. They make me feel like I'm at home.
My favorite place to be! My home away from home! This academy is not your average academy. You walk in and are immediately greeted and treated like family. This academy does not give you grungy gym vibes. If you’re looking for a place to go to build a healthier lifestyle, learn self defense and meet new people that will only elevate your standards and support you, check this place out!❤️🔥
I participated in 42 days challenge and attended min 3 classes per week. I achieved the goal of losing >20+ lbs. I mostly attended to the Muay Thai classes as those were better fit with my time schedule. Overall, it was lots of fun of doing warmup cardio and Muay Thai / Jiu Jitsu training. The environment is very nice and inclusive. Mike Leang taught Muay Thai, and he is an incredible coach who is also friendly and wise (he knows how much to train and how much push the limit). There were lots of variations of warmup or ending cardio’s that I enjoyed a lot (note: previously I used to hate cardio’s). I loved the small building blocks learning which then incorporated to the larger modules, -conditioning and practicing – that Mike used for training Muay Thai. Students are also inspiring and wonderful for practicing and sharing skills and knowledge. I am incredibly thankful to ABJJ for offering that 42 days challenge program otherwise I would probably never know about BJJ or Muay thai.
I’ve just started training at alliance BJJ and so far I’m loving it! The program is structured well and the coaches not only take the time to show you proper technique but they are awesome people as well. The classes I’ve been to have been filled with peers that have similar attributes. It’s a super solid environment to make yourself better and meet cool people.
I am learning and growing so much at Alliance BJJ HOUSTON. Great people and a great skill! Plus it’s fun . Love meeting new people and everyone is encouraging and very wonderful about sharing there skills and advanced knowledge. It a great gym and I am so great for the people there and really happy I found them!
The mindset in this gym is great. I'm new to BJJ and I'm also not in great shape at the moment, but I'm treated as family and an equal. No shaming and no negativity, just positive coaching and a team of staff and advanced students willing to help you achieve your goals. I will train here for a long time.
Our son Sir Marcus really enjoys his time and training. All instructors are very hands on and patient with the kiddos. I highly recommend.
My son just started. Very welcoming environment. Instructors are great with kids and make it fun! They are very knowledgeable and do a great job explaining and showing technical moves in detail. You even see advanced kids helping the beginners too. Very clean facilities. Overall great culture to be a part of.
Amazing place where the employees truly care about your experience.
The atmosphere is great, the Professors are amazing with my son, everyone is so welcoming! My husband and son both train here and it was a great decision as a family to get the membership they offer! My son has a speech delay, and they are always so kind to him and take time to listen to what he has to say! Alliance BJJ has significantly built my sons confidence, in a fun and safe setting!!
My experience with Alliance BJJ, Professor Danny and his team has been welcoming, professional and overall amazing. The atmosphere is very relaxed but focused and professional. I highly recommend giving Alliance BJJ a try if you're looking to learn jiu jitsu.
I started going here and I can’t stop, it’s a great place with great people and an great learning experience
It's almost been 2 months since I started, and it keeps getting better. The staff is great, classes are challenging, you just have to push through.
Danny and company are very welcoming for new comers and beginners in BJJ. They take their time with you to help you understand technique and keep you at a reasonable pace to prevent injury to not only yourself, but to other students. As you progress, there are plenty of students of all skill sets to train/compete with to ensure progress is maintained. Numerous classes throughout the day help accommodate nearly any schedule conveniently. The gym/facility itself is of high quality and exceptional cleanliness. Parking is not an issue as there is plenty of space and the location is in a great area.
I had to drop in Alliance Houston while on a trip. The gym was very clean and Professor Caio was awesome. I attended the fundamentals and advanced class, both classes were great. The students were very welcoming and it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place to be part of the jiu jitsu family.
I thoroughly enjoy AllianceBJJHouston and believe that because I am also able to do Muay Thai as well at the same price is a steal. Everyone is friendly, the professors are always willing to give you advice and answer any questions. Also the amount of new people you meet and interact with is something special everyone just their to better themselves it’s absolutely inspiring. I am glad I joined this gym.
The place has such a great atmosphere and all levels of trained fighters from novice to expert levels. They offer a lot of different classes with different skill levels. I have been to the BJJ all levels, open mat and the Muay Thai. What is great is the involvement from the coaches and the willingness to teach from the small moves into progressive moves. Even the more experienced guys will roll with you and not just beat up on you but show you how to defend, how to pass guards, how to slip and will help you get better. The Muay Thai class was amazing as well. With a lot of focus on proper technique and was a cardio killer. Would highly recommend Alliance BJJ for anyone that is looking for great instruction, fun time and great atmosphere and just to get better and better.
Awesome martial art club. I sign up for the get fit challenge and ended up losing 22 pounds in less than 4 weeks. The classes are so interesting and addictive that even when you tired you would want to go. I took some martial art classes when I was younger but nothing compare to Alliance Bjj Houston classes. Their classes are well structure, organized and each coach explain and break down technique as easy as possible for you to understand. I will definitely recommend if you want to loss weight, if you want to learn bjj from the best instructor, or if you want to learn Muay Thai and even for some self-defense. They also have Yoga. Thanks Alliance Bjj Houston. Join
Great place to train. Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful since day one. I started off just doing their 6 week Get Fit Challenge and decided to stay on as a member. If you have any interest in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai, I suggest you get over there and sign up. You won't regret it.
This is a great place for both adults and kids. If you are looking for motivation and discipline this is the place. Professor Danny truly cares about his students health & well-being. This is not just martial arts training, it is a life style and it teaches you over all health, wellness, dieting, etc. Great places I can't say enough!
Im new to BJJ and been training here for 3 weeks now. Its a great group of people and awesome instructors. Everyone here is super helpful and friendly in giving pointers for a newbie like me. The instructors do a good job of explaining how and why you want to do moves a certain way. Overall its a great experience and I'm definitely sticking around here.
I just recently started training here and it’s my first time training any martial art. Alliance brings you in for 3 one on one sessions in the beginning to help you understand what a class will look like. That’s what really got me comfortable to show up for a real class. I’ve worked with Professor Danny and he’s great. Really focuses on getting technique and form right and not worried about speed. I’m pretty fit and classes are a hell of a workout. If you’re looking for a place to learn BJJ and get in shape then Alliance is perfect.
Professor Danny and his fellow instructors are the “creme de la creme” throughout the greater Houston area. Prior to joining I had many concerns and self doubt due to my size, etc. However, Danny was very reassuring and took his time to discuss my concerns. It didn’t stop there. At my first group session the instructors were patient and caring. The other guys were also very supportive and never looked down on my. The culture is embracing, caring, and quick to welcome newcomers like myself to the tribe. Take it from someone who has done his homework and stood up the Professor twice before committing—Alliance BJJ Houston is the real deal and totally worth it!!
I joined 5 months ago and my only regret is not having joined earlier. Great group of people, from the white belts all the way to the professors. Everybody is there to help make everyone else a better person, both on and off the mats. If you are on the fence about joining, then take the leap and give it a try. Stop listening to that inner voice telling you that you can't, and let this place show you that you can. You won't regret it
This place is amazing. They run a great program. If you come here with the right mindset, anything is possible. The schedule is fantastic, and I absolutely look forward to every class. It only took one class for we to get hooked. I originally signed up for the 6 week challenge. I met my goal of losing 20lbs in 6 weeks and now I'm staying because it's pure fun. Seriously recommend everyone to at least try it out. 🤙🤙🤙 Come and roll
Alliance BJJ is an incredible place to train. Rather it be for competition or just learning something new and challenging yourself. Getting in amazing shape just comes with the package! Everyone is very humble and welcoming. This makes it great for all levels! The actual facility is well put together and super clean! I completely recommend this gym for people of all ages!
I completed 42 day challenge and I’m satisfied with the results. The pearland facility is very nice and it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. Everybody is willing to help you achieve your goals and the classes are very structured. Only complaint is I wish there were more weekend classes to fit with my busy schedule but if you can fit in the time to go to any of the classes, you’ll enjoy yourself
I joined Alliance BJJ to learn how to defend myself, try something new, and get fit through their 6-week challenge program. This program requires you to meet a certain fitness goal, attend at least 3 classes a week, and leave a quality review by the end of the 6 weeks in order to get your $450 investment back (should you choose to not stick with the training). I attended their jiujitsu and fit camp programs 4-5 times per week in addition to my personal workouts. The staff were very friendly and educational. Even the other more experienced members provided helpful tips which I really appreciated. I ended up not meeting the challenge as I did not lose enough weight or gain enough muscle despite my strict workout schedule and clean eating habits. What made it 4 stars for me instead of 5 was despite the great staff, the owner seemed bent on money instead of providing a proper challenge for everyone. I found out from my own doctor that the goal was nearly impossible to meet given my already petite frame. Also, I couldn't continue the training because I was moving in 1 month. They made it clear I lost the $450 from the challenge (fair enough)but that if I wanted to continue training before I move, then I could always pay weekly until I left and it definitely soured my feelings toward the experience because the weekly rate was only a few bucks less than the monthly rate. So if you're already in relative fit shape, I'm not saying skinny. Just relatively fit, then I'd recommend against the 6-week challenge. As a business owner myself, I would've handled the situation differently.
Overall I love the classes that I took, mainly Muay Thai and boxing, I did 2 classes of the fit classes. I did feel that it was expensive for what I was really attending to. I did do the get fit challenge, which was extremely challenging. Either I lose 20 pounds in 42 days or 5% body fat. I felt that it was very unreasonable for that short amount of time, especially if I was looking for a more long term weight lost and not an extreme weight lost and be miserable doing it. Even bodybuilders/ athletes that I know find it hard to do in a short amount of time. Especially if you are not an athlete and like I said looking for a long term solution, and still enjoy the process of losing weight while having fun. If I knew that 20 pounds was gonna be this challenging, I wouldn’t have done it. My main goal in this challenge was to get back into a more high intensity workout to get back into an “athlete” energy and burning the calories. It was hard to really enjoy the process of working out, weight training on the side, and doing the Muay Thai and boxing all at once. It really started feeling like it was an obligation, instead of getting excited and looking forward to classes every week. Another thing that was unreasonable for me is juggling school, clinical rotations, coaching, working out, and attending the classes (may I add 3 classes a week) while maintaining my sanity within that time frame. I did tell the coach that I’ve never really been under a certain weight before especially when I was still an athlete. With this challenge, it was implied that I would have to be under that threshold to “win” the challenge. Like I said, my main goal for this challenge is to be under a certain weight which technically meant that I only wanted to lose 15 pounds from the original weight that I walked in with. I also my main goal was to look leaned out not a skeleton literally. So I lost the challenge and I lost the money that I put into the challenge because it was just unreasonable to what I was really going after. If I wasn’t in the challenge, and if they create a certain membership just for Muay Thai and boxing, and even better more of those classes, it may work better with my school schedule and clinical rotations.
