I didn't really know what to expect when I found Alliance Champions Center on Google Maps but I was pleasantly surprised by the high caliber jiu jitsu and the facility itself. If you're looking for a place to work out, this gym has everything you need: turf, cardio machines, barbells, bumper plates, etc. Now, if you're looking for a place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu, this is one of the top places in the country. Professor Rafael is a incredible teacher and his keen eye for details helped me revamp my game in a short time frame. His students share his passion for the sport and welcomed me with open arms. I highly recommend Alliance Champions Center to anyone who wants a holistic workout or is looking for quality jiu jitsu training. I thoroughly enjoyed my week here and cannot wait to visit again!

This place checks all the boxes and makes you feel at home and at ease. For a older guy like myself I felt a little apprehensive about getting back into it but so glad I did. Master McGinnis is excellent and very professional and patient. I can't thank you enough for being the perfect spot and exceeding my expectations in all areas. Would highly recommend here for your training as there is something for everyone.

The person up front is very helpful and makes sure you have everything you need. The teacher I had made sure to demonstrate each move before letting the class practice the move. Them we were partnered up with another person in that class and we did that whole bit a couple times before planking. There is a locker room with bathrooms and showers. They have a schedule for adults that shows all the classes they'll have Monday through Saturday. They also have classes for kids and overall it's a great place to learn. I only give 4 out of 5 because it's my first gym and while it was great, I have nothing to compare it to. I definitely recommend.

Our kids began taking Jiu Jitsu at this gym a year ago. It wasn't long after they began, that my…read morehusband and I also joined because our kids were enjoying it so much. Professor Larry, his team of qualified coaches and the other members have been so helpful and encouraging throughout this new path for us. As a petite, 50 year old it has certainly been empowering as well. Between the knowledge I've gained from the classes and the two Girls on Guard Safety Defense Workshops I've attended, I have more confidence that I would be able to defend myself from anyone at any age or size if need be. It's been equally fascinating to watch the confidence and discipline it continues to build in our kids (ages 12 & 15)! The icing on the cake is that It's just a great community of people to hang out with! I highly recommend this gym for those of all ages and physical fitness abilities that have an interest in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! 5 's all around!

I had the pleasure of training under Professor Shealy at his original school in Jacksonville, FL…read morefrom 2011-2013. As an older student (I was 37 at the time), he set an environment of respect, discipline and strong core values. What I did not know then, was that BJJ would be a life changer. As a military retiree with medical challenges, Jiujitsu provided me with the physical recipe to improve my core strength and mental balance in my life. I currently live in Honolulu, Hawaii, but still train several times a week and make it a point to visit Professor Shealy when I make it back to the mainland. BJJ is for all ages and skill levels. It teaches us a different way to view issues in life by setting unique challenges on the mat. I look forward to the next opportunity I get to roll with Professor Shealy and his team at Hendo BJJ. If you are thinking about an activity that you can do for the rest of your life. GO SEE LARRY!

Rolling with new people is already concerning, especially since I'm an older grappler (59), but Dan and his crew made me feel incredibly welcomed. He introduced me to some of his instructors, and I ended up having some solid technical rolls with some great people. Everyone was super attentive, and eyes were on the mat the whole time, making sure everyone stayed safe. The environment in the gym was communal, and it was awesome to see families training together, husbands, wives, and kids. From start to finish, I felt welcome, and more importantly, felt safe. Great gym, great people, and I will be back the next time I'm in Greenville
