They have a website so I emailed them, but never heard back. Meh, ok...no big deal. I called but the voicemail doesn't match the name of the establishment...but I did receive a voicemail and then a text from someone named Johnny (there are two Johnny's at this place so I'm not sure which one I texted with). We exchanged a few texts and I told him what I was looking for- boxing training/classes and I wanted to check out/watch a class...and he told me to come in on Monday at 5pm or 6pm. So, I went in at 4:50 on Monday...lo and behold....there's no boxing until 6pm, so I have no idea why I was told to come in at 5pm. Anyway...I hung around for a bit, spoke to Johnny (not sure if this was the same person I texted with), and received a class schedule. I was sort of sour on this place after that, but decided to give it a shot. Let me rate the class- the class is good. Coach Johnny (not the person who I spoke to about membership) ran the class and it was a solid boxing technique class. Having been in the fitness industry for years prior to covid, there were a few things concerning to me...like no cool down or stretching after class and no safety cues during the class...but I don't think most people would notice it. Newcomers are separated from the main class but once Coach Oliver saw I had experience, he told me to join the class. Membership is 125/m which is on par with other speciality training centers. I ultimately decided not to join for several reasons- while their paperwork to join was pretty standard like release of liability, 30 days notice to cancel....all standard....there was no option to 'pause' your membership for a medical reason. Also, the area surrounding the club gets sketchy at night. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking to my car after class alone after the time change. My search continues.....

If you are in the Escondido area you have to check this place out, my only regret is not starting years ago!! There is a great energy coming from the mats and it all starts with the owner/professor Michael and the other experienced students. I have been welcomed and encouraged with a friendly, positive atmosphere even though this a "no frills" style of jiu jitsu. I feel that even when class is full, I still get the instruction and attention I need as a newer white belt. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities at this gym which was very important to me. The pricing is incredibly reasonable and there has been no pressure for sales or any other extra stuff most gyms try to stick you into buying.

If anyone is looking for a great jiu jitsu studio for themselves or for their children, this is the place to be! It's a great place to learn with instructors that cater to you and your level no matter if you're a beginner or a black belt. Come check it out!!! Highly recommended!

Takedowns are an enormous, understudied part of jiu jitsu. If you train at AOT, you'll be lightyears ahead of 95% of competitors on the feet and ultra competent on the ground. You're not likely to find many instructors who are so skilled in all these fields. You're especially not likely to find someone with these abilities who is also a patient and skilled teacher, willing to train everyone from elite competitors to regular people. Even in large cities, this is a remarkable gym.

From the moment we walked through the door we have been nothing but impressed with the coaches, professors, and really everyone at Alliance San Marcos. For the kids, they do an absolutely mind bogglingly amazing job of meeting each child where they are and never holding any one of them to an expectation that is too high for that individual. The skill, knowledge, patience, and sheer situational awareness to be able to do that with a full classroom full of 3-5 year olds doing something as complex as jiu jitsu is astounding. Coach Nick was Sage's first instructor at Alliance and a favorite of mine - his passion and patience are visible in everything he does. Everyone does an incredible job of breaking the skills down in a fun and digestible way for the kids and they are clearly learning and retaining! I ended up joining the fun as well and as a 37 year old out of shape dude I gotta admit I was in my head before my first time on the mat wondering "WTF am I thinking starting something like this at this stage of my life?" But the crew and the members are SO welcoming and remind me every day that we all started at zero. The community is amazing and the culture is friendly and supportive no matter your skill level. If you're like I was and thinking you cant possibly.... trust me, this is the place to put those doubts to rest!
