This Jiu-jitsu Gym has everything you would need, family environment and at the same time, if you would like be in the competition team they offer that as well ( By Doing my research I found videos where Master Carlos Rollyson Competed at a High level becoming A Champion and beating members of the Gracie Family) ...Master Carlos Rollyson is real master that cares for your development, My experience in other gym are, if you are not a supper Athlete or stud the instructors really don't give the attention..I've noticed master Rollyson really cares that you learn no matter how gifted you are as a Athlete Male or Female...I don't have kids but there program looks impressive and by asking the parents I've only heard positive reviews...Last but not Least Alliance Jiujitsu is 8 time world champion team at any giving moment Current world champions come and visit the team, a real treat and Joy.

I started going here four weeks ago, and as a women with zero jiu jitsu knowledge or ANY martial arts training this experience has been AMAZING! I attend the women's classes, and coach Gina and Carlos are very attentative and informative. Being able to take women's classes made it a very nice, less intimidating approach to jiu jitsu. In four weeks I've learned a lot and plan to continue training here as long as I can.

Professor Rollyson is an excellent teacher whose patience and attention to detail are unique. The comraderie in the gym is a direct reflecton of his love for jiu jitsu. Please do not be fooled by negative reviews written by individuals with bruised egos who found out they weren’t all that special. Do yourself. favor and check this school out.

I began training with Professor Carlos more than 2 years ago. I hold him in the highest esteem, not only as a professor and mentor but as a dear friend. Master Rollyson teaches more that Jiu-Jitsu, he teaches invaluable life lessons and his Jiu-Jitsu tutelage has help me to not only overcome an opponent on the mat but also the everyday challenges in life with dignity and integrity. Professor Carlos genuinely cares for his students on and off of the mats and creates a solid family environment for all of us. Thank you Professor Carlos

I started training Martial Arts when I was a kid, I am 43 years old and never stop training, I've been around, my first Jiu Jitsu class was in 1999, I train steadily since 2008 and found this Academy at the end of 2016. It is by far the best place I ever train in my life, the mats are cleaned daily, the bathrooms are very clean, the students very respectful, the instructors are very knowledgeable and patient, and the best part is that we get to train with a legend of the sport, Master Rollyson is by far the best at his job because is very passionate and loves teaching Jiu Jitsu. Constantly improving he goes every year to the Alliance Headquarters and comes back with the latest our sport has to offer, take advantage and do not pass the opportunity to train with this legend, Alliance won 11 World Titles and that does not come by chance, their method of teaching is the best. By the way, my granddaughter also trains at this gym and she loves it, they treat her super good, I only have words of gratitude for how they are.
