The classes they run
“The first thing you’ll notice is how clean the school is, which is important to me since the kids are barefoot during class.”
“The second thing is the trophy wall: a collection of medals and awards won by the owner of the school, Desiree.”

From the reviews
We are extremely happy with our choice of Alliance for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! My son trains here, and I can see how he is growing not only physically but also as a person. The coaching staff is fantastic, with an ability to connect with each student individually.

We have been attending the JJ school for almost a year now and our experience has only been positive. The school overall provides a nurturing and supportive environment where children of all ages can learn and grow. We have seen a growth in our children both on and off the mat.
I was looking for bjj school for myself for a long time, I was attracted to the discipline for a while but was not sure if a woman can or should do it. Getting stuck between unknown persons legs felt a bit intimidating.
Your first BJJ class at Favoreto Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Brickell
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.
