My son was having behaviour problems in school. Not listening, not paying attention etc. I was getting many daily emails from his teachers regarding his behaviour, even the gym teacher! We tried many different approaches to behaviour management, nothing seemed to work. We enrolled him at alliance BJJ and after a few months his behaviour changed drastically! He is now able to focus and has much better impulse control. It was just the outlet he needed! Thank you Alliance BJJ!!! A HUGE shout out to coach Kennet who is PHENOMENAL with kids and has made a significant impact on our son.

I came to Calgary on vacation. As a black belt, I decided to search for a good place to practice Jiu Jitsu as I was here and I found Alliance. The crew is amazing and the coaches are well prepared. If you are looking for good jiu-jitsu gym with a nice atmosphere, check them out. They are awesome! The team is so friendly that feels like home. I definitely had a good time with them. Hope to come back soon!

Recently my 12 year old daughter joined this club from a recommendation we received from one of the members. Since day one the instruction has been amazing. The growth in just a couple of weeks has been outstanding. The coaching by Kennet, who mentors the kids classes, is excellent not only for technique but also the way each move is explained, demonstrated and drilled. It is a very welcoming environment and a friendly atmosphere where each child gets direct hands on coaching. She has gained a new passion for the sport as well as new friends and has fun all at the same time. Very happy we found Alliance BJJ.

I have tried jiu jitsu before and didn’t feel like it was for me, because of the very different experience at another gym. Figured I’d give it one more try. I did a trial class at Alliance and become seriously addicted.
Alliance has created an amazing culture that cannot be beat, they have a safe and fun environment to learn such a cool sport. There is such a strong sense of comradery, people get excited to see you when you walk through the doors, and quickly greeted with fist bumps. You’re truly part of the team from day one and it makes you want to go back to see not only your own progress but the progress of others.
Everyone that goes there, from the coaches to other students, want to see you get better and take the time to help you. I was rolling with a purple belt and he paused during the roll and said “let’s talk about that after”. And after the roll they had 3 pointers that helped me tremendously. On another occasion a blue belt asked me what guard passes I knew and told me to work that in our roll, giving me pointers throughout.

Alliance in South Calgary is an excellent school to learn BJJ. Their curriculum and detailed instruction allows you to build a strong foundation in fundamental movements that’ll carry you through from white to black belt without feeling overwhelmed. I would recommend anyone wanting to try BJJ to stop by Alliance.

I started my kids (ages 7 & 9) this past Spring and the entire experience has been top-notch. They were welcomed into a trial class to start where they were given lots of individual attention and praise. They attend three classes per week and always enjoy it. It is a fun, encouraging environment that lets kids build confidence and blow energy. It is a great way to get the kids sweating and learning important ground fighting techniques.
Alliance BJJ rocks! My sincere appreciation goes to Kennet. He does amazing work with these kids; always keeping them focused, engaged, and having fun. He is truly a natural coach and all the kids love him.

This gym is fantastic. The vibe is very friendly and welcoming, and the coaching is top notch. They do both Gi and No-Gi, so lots of options depending on your preference. Coaches Brian and Ken know how to make class fun and engaging for all different types of students.
