From the reviews
The bjj/judo program is incredible. Whether you're new or have been practicing for years the coaching here is outstanding. I've been training with the coaches here for a year and it's been great. It's a very positive atmosphere and everyone is helping each other to get better.
I can't say enough good things about Alliance BJJ St. Croix. I was visiting the area for the holiday week and needed a place to train. Professor Brian was super welcoming, as were all of his students. He is an excellent instructor. The facility is large/open and clean.
I do the kickboxing and muay thai classes at Alliance (St. Croix Striking Academy) and it has been very fun. I wasn't sure what kind of environment it would be, but the first day every one was kind and welcoming (even though we were essentially kicking eachother the whole time).
I am so thankful we found Alliance BJJ! We have 2 daughters, one is in the teens class and one is in the eagles class. And they always look forward to practice. The friends they’ve made and the skills they have learned are amazing and a blessing.
New to BJJ? Start at Alliance BJJ St. Croix
Alliance BJJ St. Croix comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Alliance BJJ St. Croix
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
