What a great gym! I was in town and decided to come in for a BJJ class. I paid for a day pass but…read moreonly had time for one class - so many class options each day! I wish I had had time to take more classes. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. As a woman, it feels a bit daunting walking into a BJJ class, but I felt at home and at ease almost immediately. The gym is clean; I loved the access to locker rooms and although I didn't use it, loved that they have a sauna available in the women's locker room. The class format was easy to follow and the instructor (Ricky) did a great job explaining the technique and giving feedback as he walked around. Thank you to Lauren for the warm welcome and tour when I arrived, and to all the "regulars" for helping me feel right at home!

I was able to drop-in on the 6 AM and 7 PM Jiu Jitsu classes. I had reached out via Instagram and…read moregot a response quickly. I arrived at the gym, and signed a waiver and paid a drop-in fee. To my surprise, the fee was for a day pass with access to all classes (not a class fee). This gave me the desire to want to come back later that day to get in another class. The morning class was taught by coach Jonathan, there were about 10 people in attendance. Class consisted of warm ups/stretching, techniques, and live rolls. The night class was taught by Coach Geo. As he was greeting everyone he was familiar with, he shook my hand and greeted me as he didn't recognize me (thought that was really cool of someone who is so accomplished within the sport). This was a much larger class with about 40-50 people in attendance. Class consisted of warm-ups, techniques and live rolls. This academy has more than just Jiu-Jitsu for those who like to cross train in other martial arts or strength & conditioning. It was a solid day of training. Thank you for allowing me to drop-in and I would love to return again!

I dabbled w F-45 and CrossFit, ect looking to find a place to fit in. My search is done after years.., my home is here at Alliance Carlsbad. Jiu Jitsu (JJ) has changed my life- first I just love being on the mat rolling w strong athletes that are wise and safe hence rolling is fun and cerebral while my cardio gets hit hard. Alliance is the perfect place because it is clean, professional, has a fantastic supportive Women environment, and most of all there are so many bad ass instructors! Each one comes w his/her own unique style and skill set; hence your JJ game will be so diverse and sharp. Lastly they have so many classes to indulge in throughout the entire day, even yoga to stretch out and keep the longevity intact! JJ gets every joint and muscle to active so the heart glows n grows w love- I have been here for over a year n I simply love it. If you want to find community that will push you to new limits physically n mentally welcome. If you just want to start moving your body n try it out, welcome. JJ is a lifestyle that will roll w you till the end. See you on the mat! Tap tap

This academy has become our second home. We've made a wonderful community and a lot of students from our homeschool co-op have also joined and the kids have so much fun. When my husband and I are training, the kids are playing with their friends whose parents are also training- which makes the academy so family oriented and possible for busy families of young children like ours. Professor Ryan and all the coaches are so patient, supportive, and knowledgeable. I've become a lot more healthy. A couple of years ago, there were concerns about my cholesterol - since joining jiu-Jitsu, I'm proud to say that my most recent blood work results were within healthy ranges.

But holy caca, I'm sure this guy marches when he goes shopping. I'm sure he only drinks razor water. I'm sure he wakes up to colors on his phone at max volume. I'm sure MREs are on the menus twice a week. My only goal was to take this jiu-jitsu journey with my kids. I was fat, obese, sick, and going through my own health issues. I was just coming off the couch for God's sake. I planned my schedule out (7Ps baby) so as to not injure myself. Did not want to set myself back for nursing a recovery. Started with two times a week at the morning class. Later in the evening I love to watch my kids... it was everything to me, the only real thing that gave me meaning at that time. This dude literally poking at me asking me why I'm not on the mats. My body got lactic acid and I'm sore all over. Took me about 3 to 4 days to recover. My family knows in the dead of winter I was going to the ocean in the morning for a cold soak to recover faster. This poking continued. Then his cult following chimes in. When I'd respond, he'd act like he's only making jokes. Then he's trying to peer pressure me into joining competitions. Not interested guy. I'm here for my health and kids. Stood my ground, yet he still would ask. So I talked to him to let him know my goals (key words: My Goals). Still same crap. Got to a point where I honestly lost respect for him listening to him on the line. Spewing things he doesn't follow. I'd be exhausted ready to puke with heart feeling like it was going to explode and dude really tells me its all in my mind. Cool, bench 315... oh you can't? It's all in your mind. Except anyone with basic common sense knows it's a limitation and as you get older, you should take safety seriously. I'd remind him of my health and what I'm comfortable with and he tells me about other members going through cancer still rolling on the mats. The culture there literally felt like "oh you got hit by a truck, wipe yourself off and get back on the mats. Oh you broke your arm, wrap it up and get back on the mats. Oh you got shot in the chest? Change your shirt and get back on the mats". To be on this journey with my kids was so important to me but I was having a really hard time listening to this hypocrite on the mats. But I wanted to train with my kids so I endured. I was struggling with suicide and he knew it. We talked about it. I had too much stress on my shoulders and started getting psoriasis. It took some time but when the psoriasis spread to my hands and feet, I had to stop. You can feel the judgment instead of genuine support when I'd go watch my kids roll. To my own surprise, I stopped going to watch my kids. I don't let ANYBODY influence my life but I was just exhausted, depressed, tired and defeated. It's a real shame. There was great people in that gym and all in all, I wanted to stay... but it became for the wrong reasons. Instead, I wanted to get strong so I can woop ass to prove myself in there. Sorry that's devolving and I knew it. I don't need to prove chit to anyone but G.O.D. Glad to say my kids and I are training at another gym and it feels incredible to roll with them again... certainly a highlight in my life. Was very depressed I wasn't able to roll with them but now... the journey continues. Yut Yut!!!
