From the reviews
Outstanding gym with a spotless, welcoming environment and an incredible team! The owner, Diogo, is genuinely kind and creates an inclusive atmosphere. I dropped in during a work trip, and the 7am class fit my schedule perfectly. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!
I was visiting Pittsburgh for a couple of days and wanted to get a workout in, so I reached out to Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in Seven Fields. From the first call, they were incredibly welcoming. I attended their Saturday morning session, which had a beginner class at 9 a.m. followed by an Open Mat at 10.
A great gym full of great people! If you're looking to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is the place! Warm, inviting atmosphere and very family and kid-friendly. Its a place where friends become like family! And the best part is you'll learn from actual Brazilians! Oss!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, very good! New gym, spacious and with very large and very good mats, I don't know any gym with the same type of mats here in Pittsburgh! Diogo, the owner, is a wonderful person!
New to BJJ? Start at Alliance Jiu Jitsu Seven Fields
Alliance Jiu Jitsu Seven Fields 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 Seven Fields
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.
