From the reviews
My husband and I have really enjoytraining at Alliance Anderson. The coaches are great for beginners and advanced students. The students range from white belts to black belts and everyone is happy to help each other grow. Classes are fun and informative.
Great place to learn and train Jiujitsu. Avery is phenomenal teacher with amazing skills and experience. His knowledge is top tier. Like Coach Decker he is an amazing coach and instructor as well, with a long history of grappling (wrestling)! He is one of the best to watch and be like!
The coaches are very nice and explain things clearly to the kids. Angelina specifically goes above and beyond with the smaller kids. She has so much patience and breaks down everything to help them understand better! My daughter has a great time!
We absolutely love this jiu-jitsu program! The coaches are incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly care about the kids both on and off the mats. They are amazing role models who lead by example, and it’s clear how much the kids look up to them.
Your first BJJ class at Alliance Jiu Jitsu Anderson
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.
