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!

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!

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.

I like that Bobby seemed more technical in his instruction and all the students were focused on learning the right techniques instead of trying to aggressively (and sloppily) wrestling each other. No one got hurt, which is a huge plus in my book :) I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area.

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!

Take this review how you want, just know that I have no reason to lie about this place. Johnny Buck…read more(main instructor/owner the way he explained it) makes fun of the mentally ill with a lot of maliciousness. 7 months into my BJJ journey and taking my training very seriously; I saw a student go up to Johnny and say (referring to one of the mentally Ill students who would train with us) "I was worried about hurting him" in which Johnny responded with "Oh no, they're really strong, they can handle a lot, and uh don't worry if you hurt em because they're not even human so..." Racism is prevalent here, don't be fooled by their kindness at first. Johnny used to call me mutt before I confronted him on that. There's plenty of cops that go to this gym so if the "leader" is encouraging making fun of mentally ill people and racism then you have a cycle that will continue throughout the community. This "gym" pushes a 12 month commitment for new members. They speak under their breath about you here if you don't submit to their culture or their way of thinking. It's almost like a cult in a way. The main reason why I wrote this review is because I felt it was my civic duty to let anybody who's innocently trying to learn self defense to protect others, are not taken advantage of like I was. My advice to new and potential future customers is to please stay away from that place but if you do want to check it out then I suggest you listen to your gut, stay true to who you are, and if you believe in God stay close to him because this guy and his ilk aren't good people. -Message to Johnny: What you teach is a perversion of what real humans naturally feel. Real humans have empathy. You don't.

It is a great, all over workout, which was exactly what I was looking for. You decide on how hard you want to work out. Plus, the range of the moves you learn work out most of your muscles. The instructor is very motivating and knows what he is doing. It is a fun class and over before you know it. The group is made up of different ages, men and women, and they are fun to work out with. The groups are small so you get your personal time with the instructor. He helps you perfect the moves and motivates you to keep going. I am not going to lie to you, it is a little more expensive than your 'run of the mill' gym membership but how many of those gyms make you pay 8 times more for a personal trainer? Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of them. You definitely get what you pay for here, probably even more!

Every class is different, you're sweating after two rounds and you see a difference in your muscle tone immediately.

The instructor consistently makes sure your executing moves with good form, is encouraging and before you know it, the hour is gone, so are the calories and you've just learned a hell of a lot. Wish I had found this place sooner!
