Alliance Scottsdale

"Great culture, instructors are great with kids. It’s been great to see my kids confidence boost each week! Session are a great combo of exercise & technical BJJ. Anyone looking to practice or enroll their children here. They do all levels from beginner to black belt. Tiago & George are top tier! Highly recommend!"

"I was in town for work and attended 2 classes, a fundamentals class and a no gi class. Both professors/instructors were great and went over the details of the technique in way that was easy to understand for me. Everyone here was very welcoming. I had a great time at both classes. Next time I'm in town, I will make time to come in again. If I lived in the area, this is where I would be my regular school."

"This is my third gym in my BJJ journey and is by far the best place I've trained. Thiago is a gifted teacher. High quality, high intensity jiu jitsu, but with a friendly and relaxed vibe. Lotsa higher belts looking out for the new guys. I also just started my 4yo daughter in the kids class, and she loves it almost as much as me. Couldn't recommend this place more!"

"Absolute honor to train at Alliance bjj. It has been a life changing experience! My 7 year old son has been training bjj with Thiago for about a year, and I have been back in jiu jitsu at Alliance for a few months now. The training environment is awesome! Thiago and his team of coaches are great instructors. Their instructions are explained and demonstrated in detail for both adults and kids’ classes. My son enjoys training at Alliance bjj! It has been great to see his personal development. The training environment is based off respect, kindness and hard work. I consider myself lucky to train with such a skilled instructor!"

"Started martial arts when I was 5 and started grappling when I was 14, I’m 40 now. I’ve trained at the top rated BJJ gyms in the world and can tell you that this gym is and always will be my home. Thiago is a world champ and Olympic level judo champ. He teaches you the stuff that he has used over decades against the best in the world. Unlike a lot of gyms your teammates are all there to help you. The higher belts don’t just beat up the lower belts and Thiago treats the world champ competitor the same as the person there on their first day. I consider everyone there to be family."
