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 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!

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 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

I’ve been training at Alliance HQ for the past 3 years since relocating from Colorado, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. With over 9 years of experience training at various schools, I can attest to the exceptional quality of instruction at Alliance HQ. Professor Leo is a true master of his craft. His attention to detail and dedication to his students’ progress are remarkable, as evidenced by the many world champions he has trained. The other instructors, including Rick, Yusuf, DJ, and Doc, are equally committed and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure everyone understands the techniques. One of the highlights of my week is the Saturday noon class. It’s rare to find such a large and skilled group, with up to 20 black belts on the mats at times, making for both tough and incredibly rewarding training sessions. If you’re looking for high-level jiu-jitsu instruction, Alliance HQ is the place to be!

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 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!

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. 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. ❤️

Very large mat 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.

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 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!

I’d recommend requesting private lessons from Doc Small to anyone currently training or anyone who’s brand new to Jiu Jitsu.

Total newbie to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), starting at over 50-years-old. I have been training at Alliance for about six weeks now and I cannot recommend them highly enough. At Alliance, the team takes their time, explains techniques and the why's behind them and has you drill with other novices under direct supervision so there's very little intimidation factor. The instructors are world-class, having a direct lineage to Professor Romero "Jacare" Cavalcanti (one of only six individuals to receive his black belt from Rolls Gracie). Every single student has been nothing but kind and welcoming. I felt comfortable being there from day one and quickly got over the unease of close contact that comes with BJJ. The facility is clean and they have everything on hand that you need to get started. I have come to really look forward to my time training there several days a week. As one blue belt told me recently, "the hardest class you'll ever attend is your first class." If you're on the fence, try it... you'll never regret it.

As a jiu jitsu practitioner at Alliance Atlanta, I can't say enough good things about this place. The facilities are impeccably clean and the mats are cleaned multiple times every day, which is crucial in a sport where hygiene is paramount. Alliance Atlanta sets the gold standard when it comes to prioritizing safety. Their commitment to ensuring a safe training environment is evident in every aspect of their program. For kids, Alliance offers the Eagles program, which is a fantastic way to teach the fundamentals of jiu jitsu and self-defense while instilling a strong sense of discipline and responsibility. The instructors go the extra mile to create a nurturing and secure environment for young practitioners, making it an ideal place for children to learn these valuable life skills. Alliance Atlanta is not just a jiu jitsu academy; it's a place where you have the incredible opportunity to learn from world-class instructors, who are not only highly skilled but also excellent at teaching and conveying their knowledge. It's also a place where you can train with students who are world champions. The level of expertise and skill you find here is unparalleled. Training alongside these champions is not only inspiring but also incredibly educational. The camaraderie among the students is fantastic, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, the experience of learning from and testing your skills against the students at Alliance Atlanta is one of a kind. If you're serious about jiu jitsu, this is the place to be.

I had to privilege to drop in while visiting Atlanta. Staff was super friendly and kind. Large mat space; facility was clean. LEO NOGUEIRA taught the advanced class. Absolutely top notch instruction, he walked around and help me as a guest multiple times and I learned a great sweep with variations. Can’t say enough great things about his class and his kindness. I felt right at home training here. We did rounds at end of class: rolled with several blue, purple and brown belts. All where extremely friend and kind. And they where all excellent practitioners, excellent technique, humble. Overall I can’t say enough positive about this place. If I lived in Atlanta I would 100% train here. Thank you all for letting me drop in! OSS

The instructors and members were all very welcoming and gracious. I could tell the skill level of their members and instructors was top notch, and I never felt unsafe or like anyone was out to prove a point. My gym only has one other adult female, so it was nice to get some rolls in with females my size and skill level. Whenever I’m in Atlanta, I’ll continue to visit this Alliance location.

My husband and I choose Alliance Martial Arts Center Headquarters for the incredible curriculum and authentic history which brought Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here in United States. If you wish to learn from the SOURCE, if you wish to compete, if you wish to understand, and not just memorize the moves, this place is for you! It has been 5 months since we joined this school, and I have to say that curriculum and professionalism with paying attention to every person and every detail makes this school an UNIVERSITY. This school puts standard on what Martial Art school should look like! Regardless, if you wish to compete or not, there is always something to learn here. All ages are welcome, from 5 years old to 100 years old! I am more than impressed! Jiu-Jitsu does not come easy for me. But I feel the support of my professors and teammates every step of the way. In the competitive World, Alliance is the number ONE school! So, what can be better than learning from CHAMPIONS?!

I have been training at Alliance for one year and they are a top-notch Jujitsu school. I was hesitant to start training Jujitsu at the age of 39 but Corei, their operations director kept insisting that I take the free trial classes. After taking the trial classes I enrolled without hesitating. I learned a lot of self-defense techniques in the past year and I lost ten pounds in the process. My cholesterol levels are back to what they used to be when I was twenty. The training sessions are intense and demand a level of commitment. The instructors are all very knowledgeable, Leo is the head instructor and a world champion, Austin is very technical and heads the youth and fundamentals classes, Yusef gives us the most demanding warm-ups and self-defense drills, all their instructors are very attentive and their teaching structure allows students to train in a controlled environment (fundamentals classes) before you start “rolling” (sparring). The vibe among students is predominantly of sportsmanship and camaraderie. The more experienced practitioners are usually willing to share their knowledge with the less graduated ones. Jujitsu is a contact sport and there are occasional lite injuries, but the instructors are understanding and will allow students to skip certain techniques if they don’t feel ready or able. They do their best to match you with a training partner that has a similar weight and skill level. All in all, it has been great to train at Alliance and I look forward to enrolling my son once he is old enough to start.

The instructors are world-class and they genuinely care about your well-being and progress. I have been here for three years and plan on staying with the team as long as I train bjj. 💜

Alliance HQ is a world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training environment. I visited on 21DEC and attended the 12pm and 7:30pm Gi classes. There were about 6 black belts, including Romero “Jacaré” Cavalcanti, in the school even at the 12pm Wednesday class! The people were welcoming and professional. Everyone from the world champions to the blue belts was friendly. The mat space was large and clean. They had on site shower and bath/locker room facilities. The instruction was incredible and very well prepared/organized. The classes I attended were taught by multiple time world champion Leonardo Nogueira. He made sure to walk around the room giving individualized attention to perfect the techniques being taught. The live sparring was tough, long, and productive. Go here if you want to be the best no matter your current skill level. I loved the experience and I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! I will say again that this school is INCREDIBLE.

This place is incredible! You get the opportunity to train with world champions every day and the instruction is incredible. Definitely the best place for beginners all the way up to world champion competitors. Clean facility and friendly instructors and members. Highly recommend joining the Alliance family!

I just found out about jiu jitsu a month ago. Alliance was doing a women's self defense course so I decided to see what it was all about. Wow! Not only is jiu jitsu the best martial art for women but the gym members at alliance were so helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable. Corey is great at keeping in contact and letting you know what is going on next. Austin is a skilled teacher and makes you feel comfortable at every step. Thanks!

As someone who has always struggled with my weight I was looking for something other than your standard gym for exercise but little did I know that joining Alliance would actually change my life. Alliance has world class instruction and very large facilities and everyone is like a family.

Alliance Martial Arts is head and shoulders above any other school in the Southeast. I've trained all over the world, with world class guys and competitors, and I can with confidence tell you that Alliance is one of these top of the mountain, world class schools. I drive almost an hour to get to training and I pass 5 other schools on my way. If you're anywhere within driving distance, don't waste your time any where else. Come to the best.

Not a fan of management.. Instructor Leo Nogueira is excellent and there is a place here for competitors as well as hobbyists.

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 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!
