We had the delight to come out and cross train with some friends and Cascao family over here at Allegiance. These people are all very friendly and they made an absolutely amazing experience for both Bri and myself. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to get some mat time with this outstanding group of people. The instructors are top notch and so are the people here! Thank you for opening your door to us and helping us get some work in, it is very good for us!
One of the best places to train.
Allegiance’s just something else with its own atmosphere. Everyone is nice and friendly and always there to help you out and explain things you might miss.

I started here as a day one white belt, Allegiance has been my home gym for several years under the Cascao association. From my first day until now, everyone has been welcoming, patient, and has provided me the instruction to grow to where I am now as a purple belt. The black belt, Matheus is an excellent instructor with a high level of competition success in both Brazil and the US. There are also great cross training opportunities within the association with several gyms around Metro Detroit. Highly recommend for anyone interesting in exploring BJJ!
I can’t say enough about this place. My daughter has learned so much here. Her confidence has grown so much bc of the instructors and owners Matheus and Chris.
My son does kids Jiu Jitsu here, and he absolutely loves it. The instructors are great, very knowledgeable, and also very patient with the kids. I couldn't ask for a better setup for having my kids learn Jiu Jitsu.
Best place to learn BJJ, Judo, kickboxing, great instructors with a welcoming family like environment, it has been life changing experience mentally and physically, this is truly my happy place(: !
Chris and Brendan run an outstanding gym in Allegiance. they are amazing individuals, coaches, teammates and family. the level of intra-gym competition here is awesome, "steel sharpens steel", the saying goes. if you're looking to improve your skills, whether it be for competition or self defense, this is the place. bjj, judo, striking, mma, this place has it all and there's a pack of killers training here every day of the week. not only that but the storage here is welcoming and these nuts that train here i consider family. leave the ego at the door and train hard!
Great gym to train at and make some good friends. The coaching is amazing and the people there make it easy to unwind and be yourself. People train at your pace. Since joining I have competed in competition and look forward to the next one!
I love allegiance gym!! This is honestly where I've showed my best results. The team is constantly motivating me. I'd like to say I found a home at allegiance and these awesome people are my family.
Great place to train and make friends! I've been doing bjj and judo for over 20 years and there is no place like this. Instruction is great from kids, beginner and adult classes. Very knowledgeable people, friendly staff and awesome family environment. Come in to this place and check it out, the owner will always answer the phone and be ready to give you all the information you need to get started!!!
I found Allegiance after training at a different shop for a few years. Initially, I was skeptical and did not think I was going to stay for long, but I'm still here. It was not the world class training that kept me here or the competitive pricing; it was the people that kept me here. I cannot compare this community to any other. The warmth and level of familiarity you feel with these people from week one is very different from other training facilities. I'm not asking you to sign up. I'm asking you to have an open mind and go in and talk to the people there. I promise you will want to come back for more.
Great place to start or continue your journey with Brazilian jiu jitsu. The team is very passionate about the sport, which makes learning new technique even easier. You will find out quickly that becoming a member of the family comes fast.
Great place to train Jiu Juitsu, Gi or no-Gi. Plenty of room, new, clean mats and pleanty of parking. Quality instruction with plenty of people from high level to beginner to train and learn with. It is a great team atmosphere.
I can’t explain how amazing this gym is!!! From the facility To the coaching to the amazing people that you deal with every day. The people in this gym are like family I drive an hour 6 days a week to come train at this gym and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.
Best place for BJJ in Michigan! The facility is large and everything is new. But that’s nothing compared to the family feeling at this gym. Everyone gets along and there’s a lot of respect amongst members. Everyone wants you to succeed and do well. The instruction from the coaches here is top notch. Do yourself a favor and get up here!!!
This place is special. It’s more than a gym it’s a second family!! Matheus is the best teacher I know!! Real Black Belt from Rio, Brazil !!! Chris Wiz is also a good mentor a good friend and brother!! Bunch of good guys here at Allegiance.
Just an amazing gym. This place is my get away from the world. Great instructors humble and tough smart educated students.
Great kids classes I have four kids and three of them are signed up.
I’ve been with the legions gym since they’ve opened and I will never leave.
The owners are great people and great businessman I appreciate them.
Allegiance gym is wonderful. I started jiu jitsu at the Warren location back in September. As someone with ZERO experience in any type of martial art, trying this sport was intimidating. But as soon as class started I realized how welcoming the community is and what a great job they do to keep every member safe in the classroom and trained for real life events outside of the classroom. Once we moved to the Sterling Heights location we became spoiled! The facility is huge!! Its cleaned every night after class too, no dirt or hair while you’re rolling around. It’s been almost 4 months for me with the gym, and I can not express just how wonderful they are. The community has become a family. And the gym has become a home away from home. If you’re looking to try BJJ I recommend you come to Allegiance. Anywhere else will suffer in comparison because what Chris and Matheus have created here is so much more than a gym.
Best Jiu Jitsu gym in the state hands down. Most mat space and real killers to train with. Also they have an amazing kids program. What more could you ask for.
By far the best gym you can go to in the area. Wether you're a beginner or experienced veteran, this is where you want to be. They offer it all, family, friendship, accountability, advice and of course top notch training. If you don't get better in life or in your preffered martial art while training here, you definately need to look inward. This gym has changed my life. Veteran friendly and top notch instructors. You seriously need to be here, it is the best therapy. I can't say enough good things about this place and the people. Come find out for yourself.
Wonderful place to train, I highly recommend!
The instructors are kind, very friendly and they truly know what they are doing even if you need special attention they can take care of it!
On top of it all you will feel the family atmosphere!
Love this place! ❤️
Amazing gym with amazing coaches and an atmosphere that will make you feel like family while getting better and more killer together. Especially for any girls who are reading this and are interested, definitely come check us out - the guys and girls here treat everyone as an equal and won't go easy on you, but will teach you every step along the way 👍🏼💪🏼
Great gym, excellent competition between the members of the gym and it shows when competition time comes around. Awesome training atmosphere, everyone here is like family. Definitely recommend this gym for anyone wanting to learn self defense, from the casual learner to the competitor. BJJ, no gi, kids bjj, judo, wrestling, kickboxing and mma classes here, all coached by awesome competitors with a ton of experience. Come on by and choke Ray out, he might even pay you for it.
I joined the gym just over a year ago for BJJ training as a 53 year old. What I found was a great blend of young and middle age students all with a genuine willingness to help. The head BJJ & Judo instructor Matheus is a skilled martial artist that produces winners at all levels. The MMA and kickboxing training offered with Brendan & Chase are high end as well. These guys do not just teach it, they live it and get onto the mat or in the cage to test themselves. Aside from the training the camaraderie among everyone is welcoming. It has been a joy to train with Allegiance Gym.
Amazing trainers/instructors!! I like the variety of classes and times available. Great children's classes as well. My son loves the Jujitsu class! This gym is great for Beginners looking to get in shape, or for advanced students looking to improve .
The staff is super cool and very helpful. Everyone teaches you everything you need to learn at every level.
The kids program is the best also. They help the kids understand the moves and the terminology breaking it down for them.
The price of the gym is very affordable as well. You won’t find any meat heads or people who think they are better than the other here. No matter race, experience, sex, age, etc., they are here to help!
I have been a member of the gym for about 4 months. The gym, it's staff, and the guys who train there are all awesome. The bjj instructor Mattheus is well versed and very knowledgeable. The gym is affordable and a family friendly environment.
I relocated to Allegiance Gym to follow teammates and friends from a previous gym. Only knew a few people there but within days/weeks/months/years ..... I've gained even more friends and more family. Feeling like you belong somewhere is one of the first things I look for in a gym. Allegiance makes you feel like that the day you step on the mats.
A gym that the members are like family that will help you reach your fitness goals or train you on different mixed martial arts. Everyone is very helpful and the instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly! Would highly recommend this gym.
My family (sons, wife and I) have been part of this gym for almost 2 years training Jui Jitsu. The gym is filled with a lot of amazing people with great skill and world class instructors. They offer BJJ, kickboxing, boxing, wrestling and HIIT classes suitable for all skills and ages. I would recommend this gym to anyone whether you want to train everything every day or just get in better shape and learn technical skills.
We absolutely love this gym. Matheus and ken are outstanding as instructors to the kids and adults alike. My husband and sons both train at this gym and look forward every day to being there. It is very family oriented and everyone genuinely loves each other. It is a great place to train and overall great family to be a part of. If you need a new activity for yourself or your child consider allegiance gym. You will not regret it.

Prepare to work hard, have fun and be supported. I have been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for around a year and a half, mostly at Allegiance's sister gym, Victorious MMA. The jiu jitsu program is taught by guys I know and love from Victorious, who bring their knowledge, teaching skill and supportive natures to Allegiance. You'll bust your butt, roll hard and gain new skills. It's a family, and the tone is set by Chris and Brendan. Good dudes, good gym, good workout!
Great positive atmosphere. The HITT class is a challenge for anyone, of any experience or ability. This class will definitely give you results.
The jiu jitzu classes are ran by great instructors. I've learned alot of new escapes, and different ways to finish submissions. The classes are a safe environment for any age or experience.
Thai fighting and boxing classes have sharpened my skills. Brendan is a great coach with alot of experience. I've trained with him for awhile. So it's great to continue it here at this gym.
All in all, this gym is great. Fair pricing, good instruction, and great competition.
Found this gym 4 months ago so I could find some way to channel my autistic 5 year old sons energy and enrolled him into the kids Saturday class and he now tells everyone he is the jiu jitsu master and can not wait for class and the instructor teaches them with skill and patients I am 40 and over weight my doctor said lose weight I decided to join myself and I am hooked I love being there I go 5 days a week and the instructors and team members treat you like family and even call when you do not show up the care unlike any chain gym if you want a challenge with people that want you to succeed then this place will blow your mind to all of them thank you for guiding me to my goal
Very Clean Gym with Knowledgeable trainers and staff. I was very impressed with the facility. From Jiu Jitsu to strength training it has something for everyone. Great central location at 12 mile and Van Dyke easy to get to.
