Alliance Jiu Jitsu Maryland (The Foundry)

"My time at The Foundry was a tremendously wonderful experience. The coaching team is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and goes beyond to solidify technique to all students. Fellow students are encouraging, positive, and supportive. I truly cherished my experience there and would recommend this gym to anyone in the area, from someone looking to start BJJ to an experienced practitioner."

"Joining Alliance Jiu Jitsu at The Foundry was a decision that completely altered the trajectory of my life and well-being. After a long time in the field of athletics, nothing compares to the environment created by the world class instructors and coaches here. Truly in a class of their own. My wife and I train almost everyday and look forward to any and all mat time. If you are on the fence about BJJ, make the right decision and start your journey at The Foundry."

"Joining the Foundry family is one of the best commitments of time you can make for yourself (and your children). From the moment you walk in you will realize this is not some “typical martial arts business” but something far more special. It’s an incredible group of people from all walks of life pushing their potential under the best instruction around. The founder (Noel), is truly an amazing teacher and person. He leads a stable of highly decorated instructors who actively compete in tournaments across the nation. Yet, despite their competitive success, they are all humble, encouraging and patient; ensuring that even a beginner can acquire skills from their proven talent. I have referred several friends and even enrolled my young son along with me, as they truly care about every student’s development and tailor classes to every skill level and age. I see myself making Foundry/ Alliance a commitment for many many years to come."

"This was the second place I ever trained jiu jitsu and as someone who loves the art, it is intimidating going to a different school. Since day one of the past 7 months I have been training here, I was welcomed and treated like family. Noel and his family have created such a great place to learn, train and push yourself. Professor Felipe teaches such high level bjj in a way that can be applied by the everyday enthusiast or someone that wants to compete. Noels style of teaching is fun, easy to understand and proven effective on the mats. If you have the opportunity to train here..it’s a must!"

"The atmosphere and instruction is top notch. All the instructors are active high level competitors who now how teach the basics as well as the more modern advanced BJJ techniques. Each instructor is friendly, personable and willing answer questions and help in any way they can. The students enhance the training environment. I take classes in the morning and afternoon and each class is filled with friendly personalities who are also willing to take time help other students regardless of their level. The atmosphere that has been fostered at the Alliance Md location is like a family. I would not train anywhere else!"
