I spent a few weeks in Calgary and had to opportunity to go to multiple gyms across the city. This gym is great, EXCELLENT coaching that has a traditional vibe with a modern twist in terms of teaching methodology. You will get a great amount of open mat time with each class. The vibe is extremely friendly, the facility is AMAZING. The space is so nice, mats are beautiful and clean, and they have SHOWERS. Well done to all the leadership here who have built such an excellent gym culture.

I cannot recommend Alliance Jiu Jitsu highly enough. This gym has been transformative for my child, providing not just martial arts training but genuine life skills and confidence. The instructors are exceptional - dedicated professionals who truly care about each student's development. Kennet stands out particularly, his determination to help every child learn and improve is remarkable. He has a special talent for building skills while instilling confidence, teaching practical self-defense in a supportive atmosphere. What impresses me most is the positive culture among the students. There's absolutely no bullying here - quite the opposite. The children support each other like a true team, celebrating each other's progress and encouraging improvement. This collaborative spirit creates an environment where everyone continuously develops their abilities. Since joining Alliance, my child has gained noticeable confidence in his movements and abilities. The physical and mental growth I've witnessed makes me grateful to have found this exceptional training facility. A heartfelt thank you to all the instructors at Alliance Jiu Jitsu for creating such a wonderful space for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve been training at Alliance BJJ Calgary whenever my work schedule allows, and I have nothing but good things to say. The environment is very welcoming, whether you’re a beginner or have prior experience. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and really take the time to guide you in improving your technique. Even though I work away from Calgary and can only train during my time off, the staff and members are always supportive and make it easy to jump right back into training. If you ever need help or have questions, just talk to Kennet ,Brian , Mathew and Matt— They are incredibly approachable and always ready to assist. Alliance BJJ Calgary feels like a family. I’m looking forward to coming back once my work shift is finished! Highly recommend this gym to anyone serious about learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a positive and motivating environment.

My son did a trial class at Alliance when he turned six. When it was finished he immediately asked when his next class was, and has been hooked ever since. Alliance has an environment fostered around positivity and respect, and the coaching staff clearly cares about what they do. Their step by step instruction style and personal approach makes for an awesome learning experience for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend for anyone interested in exploring martial arts.

I am brand new to martial arts, and the community at Alliance has been very welcoming and patient. I've learned as much from the coaches as I have from the individuals I've sparred with, and everyone practices the highest level of safety. I highly recommend joining Alliance if you're considering Jiu-Jitsu!

Kennet & Brian and all the members are very welcoming, knowledgeable and fun to be around. I have been a member since March, lost just over 40 lbs and had my daughter start as well. I can’t recommend it enough. - M Hansen
