    Jiu-jitsu with Alavanca for years. (Time to time was a member of other clubs) Shawnessy location is a great opportunities to South Calgary residents and from all cargary and surrounding towns - to anybody who values time and is looking for a quality training, personally I drive to Alavanca no matter where I live (Cochrane at the moment). I really like the level of training in Alavanca Shawnessy/South. Coaches are really specific and detailed, which is so needed in such a complex and interesting sport as Jiu-jitsu. Women's program is super good 🔥 Welcome ladies at any level and age! Tiny warriors is well planned and created with age specific approach for younger kids, it is amazingly led by one the senior athlete coach Lina on Saturdays and there is this program on Tuesdays with the other grear coach. Kids Jiu-jitsu has different programs age and level appropriate, so the training becomes so much more effective for the progress! Muai Thai Coaches Team under head coach Jason with his talented coaches: Alex, Tyler, AJ and a few more (o can't remember the names at the moment) - is very popular and favourite for those of you who loves to work on punching and kicking for MMA or within standing pre-grappling sport. This is one of the biggest reasons i considered to join Alavanca South location. Our kid is into muai thai, and he loves to practice here! See you on the mat in Alavnaca South. Os.

    I’ve had a great experience training here over the past few months. I started as a complete beginner, and from day one the instructors were welcoming and supportive. The instruction is clear and detailed, and I genuinely feel able to apply the techniques during training. The owners and instructors set a good example, which is reflected in the culture of the gym. Everyone I’ve trained with has been very friendly and easy to work with. The space is large and clean, and the mats are cleaned after every session. I always look forward to training here and would recommend this gym to anyone, whether brand new or more experienced.

    I have had nothing but great experiences here, the owner is a class Act of a role model. And all the coaches here have a very high skill level especially the Muay Thai and Jiujitsu! Great School for the family 10/10
