I started training at AZO about a year ago, when I finished college and returned to Kalamazoo. Facilities and instruction are excellent. Huge amount of mat space, plus a raised ring and a smaller mat in the front room. Lots of equipment to work with. The gym has nice locker rooms, bathrooms, and two private showers, which are all kept very clean. The jiu-jitsu team has several upper belts who are all excellent teachers and very willing to work patiently with new people. Theres also a strong community of women there, which is not the case at every gym, and its certainly something I appreciate. Everyone is very supportive. I was a little nervous jumping into a new gym, but everyone welcomed me with open arms. I found a team that unites folks of a very wide variety of ages and skill levels; its an environment that anyone with an interest in martial arts can feel comfortable in, while also getting a tough workout and learning a lot.

You will never find a place that will challenge you as much physically and mentally. That being said you will also never find a place that rewards you as much for facing these challenges. You will find Alliance AZO is more like a family after even 1 class. Everyone eager to grow and help you grow as more then just a martial artist but as a person off the mats as well. Your confidence and pride in yourself will grow at an exponential rate as you discover parts of yourself you didnt know existed. This isnt just a great place for adults learning self defense, or with aspirations of becoming the next MMA superstar, this is a great place for your kids. The kids will learn self respect and respect for others as well as being able to burn off all that extra energy, that video games just cant seem to. Come get in the best shape of your life mentally and physically come visit Alliance AZO, It has changed my life 10 fold for the better.

I have been training and competing for Allliance AZO for a little more than a few years. My progress was consistent due to my attendance and the careful guidance of all the instructors there. Thanks to the coach Ron Blake, Brian Skjold, David Hernandez, Matt Stringham, Colt Withers, and Jamie Blake I was able to compete and win gold medals at several tournament across Michigan and the surrounding states. I have gained insight through martial arts that can supplement any of my lifestyle goals while continually challenging myself to be a better person and martial arts practitioner. Great Place!

Ron and the entire Alliance AZO group of instructors and students are top notch! I live out of state and dropped in to Alliance AZO a half dozen times and really appreciated training here. Great training facilities, very positive environment, competitive members, great technical instruction, and super welcoming of outsiders and new BJJ students. I would recommend anyone considering starting BJJ, looking for a new school, or just looking to train while on the road, to give Alliance AZO a try - you wont be disappointed.

Our Son has been training at Alliance AZO for several years. It is a wonderful facility and the instructors that are teaching really care about the kids on and off the mat. I know that Alliance has helped shape our son into a confident and kind young man. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to build confidence in their child .
