Three of us were here for a conference and couldnt have been more elated to be in the same city as Bruno Malfacine for an entire week! Turns out Orlando BJJ is much more than just Malfacine! Amazing training facility, exceptionally clean and spacious and with loads of equipment that we unfortunately didnt have time to try out. The three of us were here to train jiu jitsu and we attended the fundamentals and competition classes. Myself and the other lady in our party were pleased to find other ladies that trained here, AND they were upper belts who attended the competition training - this makes it very welcoming when you are at a new gym and you are worried about being the only lady. The other girl I was traveling with was 15 years old and was a bit anxious about training at a new place that might not have other women - so this was a HUGE plus that there were several upper belt women who were all exceptional training partners. Speaking of ladies....the ladies change room was GREAT! Lost of space for gear, and it offered plenty of privacy. I cant wait to be back in Orlando to train here! Thanks for being so welcoming to us.

run down dirty and not worth it. After reading the response from the owner accusing me of being "butt hurt" with a legion of comments from trolls, you can only imagine that the owner himself is a vengeful, immature, egotistical jerk who was probably a bully in school. And he is probably inflating his rating with fake positive reviews. Im so sure that Johnny Cash, applied for a job at the gym, got an interview, didnt get a job, then immediately wrote a glowing review which directly addresses the review that I wrote..... Sure, thats not fake at all. The mats at this gym are ripped, they have tape all over them. The gym equipment has spiderwebs and it is indeed dirty. The squat rack is broken, has been broken for 6 months I was told and it doesnt seem like it will be fixed anytime soon. I stand by this review, and after seeing the owners rude and immature response, Ill add the fact that Brad is a bully pulling together all his friends to try an discredit my review. Seriously? Get over yourself.

I trained here from February to April. I went from a couch potato at 210 lbs after 12 years of not moving to 185 lbs and Got back in shape in a few months doing something fun. The instructors are very knowledgable and helpful, they got classes in the early morning, throughout the day, at night and on weekends. They got BJJ, judo, Muitai, fitness classes. The BJJ curriculum is very structured and classes are very organized for new students. The people that train here are helpful and willing to teach and welcome the new white belts. The Gym is very clean. Staff is very friendly. Unfortunately I had to have a major spinal surgery and had to stop. (The injury not due to the training) The owner was very flexible when cancelling my membership. I hope some day I recuperate enough to go back.

From the front desk to the mat, Alliance has it nailed. I Have only been here 2 weeks and already feel like family. Humility, kindness, patience, persistence, and a true mastery of the art of teaching. The instructors and owner are a special breed and it shows by the members they attract. Having zero experience can make for an intimidating experience, but not here. Our instructor Jonathan and the rest of the morning class we attend were genuinely happy to welcome us. No egos, just like minded people with a true desire to learn. I cant say enough! I am just grateful to have found you guys!

To the idiot who reviewed Orlando BJJ as "run down": If, one day (by some amazing stroke of luck) you are able to scrape a few dollars together and go into business for yourself, I truly hope that some bored j3rk off comes along and slams your business. Orlando BJJ is a premiere facility with top of the food chain instructors. If you consider the Bellagio "run down," then certainly dont train at Brad Thompsons gym. The facility is uniformly considered the best in Orlando by a country mile for too many reasons to state in this review again (you can read all of the other 5 star reviews).

Anyone who would give this school a 1 star review is a LIAR. I am not Affiliatted with Allince . As a matter of fact im not even from Florida. I am Affiliatted with Jiu Jitsu. and the lifestyle it promotes. When I see nonsense like one star reviews; it will not be left unchecked . I was passing through on family vacation in Florida from California . They have a very welcoming academy. There academy is one of the nicest I have ever been too! They also have morning classes and I was able to train with out compromising my family time everyday. Keep up the great work Aliance. Ossss

I dont even go here but I was looking to be hired by their facility, and I also wanted to check out the amateur mma team. The facility is in great shape. Full sized cage, weight room, mats. This place is enormous by the way. There is a supportive and friendly vibe from both staff and other fighters. Once again I have only been there twice so these are only impressions. Someone commented that the place is dirty. The place looks new to anyone with common sense. Perhaps he wishes to eat steak off the mats. All in all, from what I see the place looks nice.

I had the pleasure in August of this year to train in this gym. I was down in the area on vacation and welcomed right in. They have an amazing staff of instructors and a top notch facility. The owner even came over to talk with me for a bit and let me know I was always welcome to come back and train. If you ever get the opportunity to check out a world class establishment with friendly and hard working people you must check out this gym. Ladies especially...you will feel welcome, safe and comfortable in this environment.

Ive trained martial arts for nearly 18 years and finding Alliance Orlando met all of my expectations. First and most importantly, the instructors are experienced, engaging, and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and spacious and no matter what your flavor (jiu jitsu, judo, muay thai, crossfit) they have it all here for one low price. Im in the best shape of my life and even after a long day at work, I look forward to training with my friends at this gym!

Hands down one of the best BJJ gyms I have been to. Maria, who runs the front desk, is helpful and wonderful to everyone at the gym. Being able to learn from someone like Bruno Malfacine is a once in a lifetime experience and the owner Brad Thompson is a great guy who is an excellent instructor as well. Cant say enough good things about Orlando BJJ. They definitely helped me take my Jiu Jitsu to the next level.

This place is ment for self defense purposes only, anything otherwise is a abomination of the sacred martial arts. Sad to say this place is that, let Kali have mercy on whose ever soul attempts to destroy and defy my brothern. To get thrown in a rear naked choke hold outside of this gym sucks more than anything. But my neck is only yellow and slightly purple because aggravated assaults...
