Alliance Jiu Jitsu San Diego

I have trained with Alliance for the past 4 years now and there are so many amazing things about this gym. The facilities are clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the instructors are world class and the community is welcoming and fulfilling especially to women. I can’t recommend the gym enough for those looking to learn a new sport, or those looking for a new home in the jujitsu community!

My family and I absolutely LOOOVE Alliance!! In February 2023 Coach Deb scheduled our kids for the intro bjj class. They had such a blast!! We instantly felt welcomed by everyone and decided to sign them up right away. Our daughter started out in the toddler class (3.5-5yrs // Tues/Thurs/Sat for 5yr olds). It introduces fundamentals and keeps it fun so the kids stay engaged. Our son started in the youth class (6-8yrs // Mon-Sat). This class is a bit more technical and catered to help build more confidence in the kids. Both of our kids are now in the same youth bjj class. Other kids classes offered are: Youth comp class (Mon/Wed/Fri) - Prof JLo & Prof Freddy preps and dials the kids in for comps. This is next level training!! Youth Muay Thai (Tue/Thurs/Fri) - Coach Daniel introduces striking and conditioning. He’s great with the kids. This class is perfect for kids who have a ton of energy! Fast forward to May 2024: After watching the kids train & compete in tournaments, I finally decided to sign myself up. What really got me to signup was the Women’s Only Class. It’s so awesome to see all the women come into the academy ready to train. Professor Jena teaches the women's only class on Tues/Thurs & Professor Dulce teaches women’s only class on Sunday. The best thing about Alliance is that there are sooooo many great classes offered throughout the day and is open every day of the week. Thank you to Prof Johnny & Michela for having an amazing academy that feels like a 2nd home. Shout out to all the Professors (Johnny, Jena, JLo, Dulce, Freddy, Vando, Marcos, and Luciana) and Coaches (Deb, Gio, Dustin, Mark, Lucas, Luiza, Tiago, Eduardo, and Ramin) who’ve passed along their knowledge and continue to help us improve during our BJJ journey.

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!

We absolutely love this gym! All of the Professors are incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and kind. Our whole family trains here and we absolutely love it for them and us. All of their classes are top tier. The atmosphere on the gym is a warm and welcoming environment. If you want to start Jiu Jitsu, getting back into it, or putting your kids in martial arts look no further. This is the best gym in San Diego, hands down!!!

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!
