When I first went to Alliance Jiu Jitsu in Port Chester, it was my first time ever trying out Jiu Jitsu and they made me feel so welcomed and allowed me to understand the basic principles with ease. After every session I felt encouraged and hungry for me. Everything they do over there is genuine and I absolutely recommend for everyone to go!
My son loves it here. Great instruction and great people. Highly recommend
Great spot!! GOOD group of people to train with and learn from.
Amazing Jiu-Jitsu Gym with Top-Notch Training! I’ve been training at Alliance for a while now, and it’s hands down one of the best Jiu-Jitsu gyms around. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping everyone improve—whether you’re a beginner or an advanced practitioner. The environment is welcoming, with a strong sense of camaraderie and respect among members. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of mat space for rolling. Classes are structured, with a great balance of technique, drilling, and live sparring. If you’re looking for a place to challenge yourself, learn real skills, and be part of a supportive community, I highly recommend Alliance in Port Chester!
My kids have been coming here for nearly 3 years. They love it. The coaches are great with kids, the sessions are fun + challenging, the place is clean and safe. I highly recommend it!
Awesome gym. Awesome members. Awesome instructors. If you want a gym that will teach you brazilian jiu jitsu and self defense I highly recommend.
Great gym for those starting or continuing their jiu jitsu journey. Pizol is a fantastic coach with a wealth of experience, and the members are all very kind and eager to improve.
Great place to start BJJ. Very welcoming community.
I can't recommend Pizol's BJJ enough. It truly has become almost a home away from home. Pizol is a fantastic teacher and mentor. I leave every class with more understanding of the sport because of Pizol's patient and cerebral approach to teaching. Not only are the classes elite, but the gym is clean and safe. Other BJJ gyms will kind of throw you into the wolves and give you the treatment of "hey if you like it, sign up, if not, then don't waste our time" but I never felt that. Everyone was extremely welcoming from the moment I walked through the door and stepped onto the mat. One thing I also noticed about Pizol's BJJ is the kids are always leaving their classes with smiles on their face. It truly is a very welcoming BJJ gym. Pizol's school is very foundation-based focused where white and blue belts will get the opportunity to learn from not only Pizol, but other black belts. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a person who has 10-years experience, this place is for you. My only regret is that I wish I had started sooner!
I've had the pleasure of knowing Professor Pizol for well over a decade. He is a very knowledgeable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and has spent several decades mastering the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Over the years, I have visited many different academies in the area and I believe that Pizol BJJ is the best martial arts school in the Port Chester area hands down. There's a great room of training partners, the facility is immaculate and there is plenty of free parking. If you are considering changing your life and taking up martial arts, I highly recommend seeing what this academy has to offer.
Best gym to go if you really want to learn jiu jitsu!
One of the first things I did when I moved to Westchester was look up a place to train jujitsu. Pizol welcomed me with open arms and I have truly found a home here. He’s like a father figure, brother , inspiration and confidant to me. It’s much more than a place to train it’s a family it’s gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life and I am forever grateful. The friends and knowledge acquired here will be with me for a lifetime…
Started training at Pizol BJJ about a year ago and have learned a lot since. Pizol is always happy to answer questions, and keeps the gym very clean. You will find what you are looking for here, whether you are a beginner trying to learn fundamentals or someone with experience that is looking for challenging training partners.
Pizol is great! He is an outstanding instructor. I’ve been attending his classes for about 5 months now and I’m really glad that I found his academy. He is a very patient individual, and always makes sure he gets his point across by asking “did I answer your question?” when instructing drills. There is great camaraderie within the group, and 4 out of 6 students won medals in the most recent Tap Cancer Out competition (3 golds) in New Haven. His practice has made me love jiu-jitsu, and hopefully I make this a life-long thing. I don’t think he is related to the Pizol Brasilia Restaurante though.
Professor Pizol is an excellent instructor and knows how to teach the art to anyone. The dojo is a great environment that is both safe and clean. The students come from all walks of life and are always pushing each other to improve. I can't recommend this place enough.
Came by for a walk in after many years off from bjj and had a great time with Pizol. Very good teacher and willing to put in extra time so that you learn more and have a great time. Highly recommend this location and school. Will return for additional classes.
Best gym in the tri-state area! The owner is extremely talented and loves what he does, and it shows in his teaching. No contract membership and a very very clean and well kept gym.
Found Pizol BJJ by going to my friend’s first competition, i had only heard about BJJ, but had never really practiced it. After watching his fight and of his teammates i wanted to join immediately and they happened to be part of Pizol’s gym. The environment is great everyone is supportive and Pizol is a great teacher.
As a small business owner, and coach of fitness for 10+ years I couldn't recommend this place enough. I searched for months for a BJJ place that had a beginner program. Most other places in the area although very welcoming just threw you too the wolves with no focus on foundations. Professor Pizol's program is second to none, and honestly the only place I know of where they actually go through the basics of BJJ. The focus on technique, fundamentals, and the art of BJJ here is the best in the county hands down. If you're a beginner looking to start Brazilian Jiu Jitsu this place is a gem.
Pizol BJJ is the best place you will find to practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Pizol has a huge experience coming from some of the best and largest teams of BJJ in the world (he is from Brazil and grew up practicing BJJ with some of the best current World Champions - like him). He has the right balance of attention and support for the ones starting practicing it, and also a very well formed program to continue to motivate and drive excitement for already BJJ practitioners to continue their love for this martial art. Everyone in the gym is extremely friendly, it has a great and fun environment. If you've never tried BJJ, go check it out! It is not solely a martial art; it is also a sport, a method for promoting physical fitness, and ultimately a way of life.
Pizol is a former BJJ champion and a great teacher. He has created a Dojo that is a very supportive and positive place where everyone is working together to improve, and have a lot of fun. There is a good mix of advanced, blue and white belts so you can be challenged whatever your level. The place is especially friendly for beginners who will get tons of personal attention from Pizol and from the advanced belts. BJJ is fun and exhausting! The saying about BJJ is that people always regret not to have started sooner: well it is true.
Starting BJJ has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's gotten me into much better shape and helped build my confidence. Pizol is a great instructor and he's very involved in every class. The gym is very close knit and personable. I would recommend this academy to everyone! If you're on the fence, just give it a try. I regret that I didn't start training sooner.
Pizol is a beast. Amazing place for BJJ whether you're a beginner or a black belt.
PIZOL Bjj is my second house ! Amazing gym and people! PIZOL kwon a lot about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that's why I coming everyday! Oss Não tem na região um jiu jitsu tão completo e de tão humildade .. PIZOL vc esta de parabéns Mestrao , OSS
Pizol Bjj is an amazing gym. The coach is very professional and has lots of skills . This is a great enviroment to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, every day is a good day when you're training.
Very Nice enviroment, clean mat, very good with the kids,very patience to teach !
Pizol academy is family oriented Brazilian jiu-jitsu good for every age, gender or size. You must try it out!!
Professor Pizol is a consummate professional. He is courteous and kind(and pretty funny). He truly cares about his students and their progression. The classes are structured to challenge you but allow you to learn at your pace. I have been attending classes for almost 2 years now and it really has changed my life. Great school. Great Teacher.
Since I joined Pizol's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy about 8 to 9 months ago I can say that today it has helped me on " building my castle with bricks and no longer with sand". What I mean by this; I feel in the best shape of my life, the hard training has shape my body to a stronger, healthier mind and spirit. Im now more discipline not only about my training but also in everything I do outside the mats always thinking of a game plan to overcome obstacles, to be consistent. Inside the Academy we treat each other like brothers, we help each other out because thats the atmosphere the teacher has created. Respect you partners, be humble, all egos out, train hard. The are many benefits you can get from this amazing martial art and Pizol's Bjj is definitively the way to go, all it took me was to try it for one day and I was hooked ever since.
My two young sons currently are enrolled in the kids program at Pizol BJJ. There is not enough kind words to say about the program. Professor Pizol has a way with kids, He is friendly, his class is fun and the kids love him. He finds a way to make learning entertaining and is always directly engaging the kids. He is very involved in the class which is why all the students look up to him. He leads the class but never shy's away from working individually with each student during the class to make sure that their fundamentals are sound. Even though my kids are young, I have seen the difference in discipline and confidence, I have no qualms in saying Professors Pizols teaching style and interaction with my children have had a positive effect on their lives. I highly recommend enrolling your child in his classes for the benefits for their body and mind.
Is the place where i dont want the time to pass. I want to be in there training all day. When im at work i only think about the academy. It helped me get in shape and made my life better. It made me become more mature. Its also a very good place for kids. I have my son doing BJJ there and he loves it.
Is good for your flexibility and training for self defense but it is also bad because you need to go there really late
