From the reviews
It should go without saying, Alliance is a great curriculum. It provides opportunities for anyone; from people who want to defend themselves, or get into shape, to anyone looking to get competitive. The head instructor Kurt Brooks will work with you on whatever goals you have.
The alliance curriculum is great about breaking up classes with different focuses (i.e. competition focused classes v self defense oriented classes)Professor Kurt is excellent at breaking techniques down in ways that all skill levels will understand. Everyone there is always extremely friendly and respectful!
This was my first time trying jiu-jitsu and I wasn’t sure what to expect but coach Kurt immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. I was surprised at how much fun I had and look forward to honing the techniques and learning more moves.
An incredibly educational environment with nice and helpful partners, Kurt is an excellent instructor who really is dedicated too his students. Ask questions and test things out under his expertise.
New to BJJ? Start at Wild West Jiu Jitsu
Wild West Jiu Jitsu 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 Wild West Jiu Jitsu
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.
