In town for IBJJF with my daughter and her coach (both competing). Very fortunate to find Alliance Atlanta. Both kids and adults were great for training. 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. If you are ready for an amazing improvement in your life, come try Alliance Atlanta. You won't be disappointed.

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 moved from Brazil almost 10 years ago and visited and trained in different gyms in Atlanta. But no one compares with Alliance. The high level training takes my Jujitsu to another level Plus the friendships, loyalty and forgiveness. It does not matter to me that I have to drive 1.5hrs round trip because I know I will achieve my goal. Doesn’t matter if you are beginner or advanced, Alliance is for all. Come join us!

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 started training at alliance a year ago and I am forever grateful to Doc and the whole alliance family. Doc is kind, patient, and is an excellent coach. He makes understanding difficult concepts into things that even I can understand. I love his noon class! It’s the highlight of my day. I can’t wait for my next year of Training!

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!

The instructors are great and so is the atmosphere. I would highly recommend Alliance to people looking to learn self-defense or wanting to get back into shape. I also appreciate being able to train in the morning, over lunch, or in the evening.

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!
