From the reviews
I started Jiu Jitsu with Alex Britto at Alliance Pennsylvania and I cannot say enough about the high level instruction that he offers. I recently visited the Boca Academy and the facility and everyone working there are exceptional! The facility is big, clean, well laid out and a convenient location.

I had an amazing experience at Alliance. The staff is very dedicated and professional, especially Bruno and Alex, who is a great instructor, very patient and knowledgeable. The place is clean, with brand new equipment. I recommend to everyone who wants to learn jiu-jitsu.
My son Lhas been attending the kids BJJ class since August 2018 and we both love it. I can attest to his growth and self confidence. This is a great facility, professional yet it provides a family feel. The staff is awesome and Master Alex is great with the children!
New to BJJ? Start at Alliance Jiu Jitsu Boca Raton
Alliance Jiu Jitsu Boca Raton 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 Jiu Jitsu Boca Raton
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.
