I have been coming to Alliance since August of ‘24. I can tell you that nothing has ever felt more like home. The entire gym, from staff to students has been friendly and welcoming, making this journey that much easier. If you haven’t come in and check this place out, they are great!

We were searching for a sport to get my son in to. Tried a couple different team sports and none of them seemed to fit. Ended up Signing him up for an intro class in March of 2023 and he immediately loved it.

My middle daughter was hesitant and wanted to continue pursuing gymnastics. After some persuasion we got her into an intro class as well and she loves it too! She decided to forego gymnastics.

Fast forward to August, and I signed up as well my youngest daughter.

The professors, coaches, and staff world class! Extremely friendly and encouraging you along the way. They always have a good ratio of students to staff to help guide you through your BJJ journey. I’ve never been to a more welcoming establishment.

The schedule is super flexible, and they offer an assortment of classes for all levels throughout the day. From early in the morning, to morning, lunch, early evening, and later evening. It works for any schedule

Even when my Dad was visiting and wanted to watch the kids one day, he complimented and said “everyone there is so friendly!” And it’s not just the staff, it’s the Alliance JJ community. Everyone makes you feel welcome, and those of higher belts work as your training partners, giving tips and techniques as you go.

Alliance JJ of San Diego is hands down top tier and I would recommend it to anyone of any fitness level. They will work with you to accomplish whatever goals you have in mind, whether it be to compete, have fun, or to make some new friends. 10 out of 10!

If you’re in the San Diego area and haven’t tried out Alliance San Diego you’re missing out. As a woman transferring into a new gym I was nervous, but those were quickly smashed by the welcoming environment, amazing teammates, and world class coaches. If you’re a woman this gym is a must with the largest women’s program in the nation. Top it off with a world championship team of coaches no other gym compares.

My two kids started their Jiu-Jitsu journey here and I couldn't be happier. Every single person that works here is kind and professional. They teach from as young as 3 to adults and even all women classes. They also have Muay Thai classes. The area is always super clean and it is very spacious. My kids are having a blast learning Jiu-Jitsu from multiple times Gold champion Professors. The Professors are patient with children but also instill discipline and respect in them. They treat the children as if they are their own. I am motivated to possibly take some classes here myself in the future! This Jiu-Jitsu school offers a free private lesson and a week of classes for FREE! You literally have nothing to lose to just try it out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Hands down the most welcoming bjj school in SD! There are high level athletes, the gym is spacious, clean, there are so many women to train with! The programs are structured, the instructors are well experienced with our safety in mind. Schedule is so packed! Alliance offers the most classes in SD throughout the day, 7 days a week. There’s a gym area, a private class area, a lounge area. Always parking available! Definitely it is a place to join and be part of such an amazing community!
