“Excellent academy! Rodrigo is an incredible athlete and BJJ coach. I'm a black belt with over a decade of training, and Rodrigo is one of my favorite instructors and sparring partners. The school offers a very nice and clean training environment. I've enjoyed meeting some of the other students. Everyone there is really cool, regardless of their experience level. Overall, this is a great place for people new to the sport as well as those with a lot of time on the mats. I highly recommend Alliance Roswell.”

“Excellent place to learn BJJ for beginners up to competition level. Rodrigo is a great instructor and seasoned competitor. The members are very welcoming and the facility is very clean. Highly recommend!”

“I started at Alliance Roswell about a year ago. as someone who was middle-aged, overweight and unathletic I was apprehensive. Thanks to the encouraging and friendly atmosphere I was immediately comfortable training there. Learning BJJ is challenging, and having good coaching and training partners who can challenge you safely is important. Alliance Roswell gives me that environment. You could not ask for a better head instructor than Rodrigo. His long experience practicing, coaching and competing in BJJ translates into an excellent curriculum for beginners or experienced practitioners. Anyone at any level is welcome here and everyone who does would benefit from it!”

“I joined Alliance Roswell not too long after they opened. Rodrigo is an excellent instructor and the curriculum is amazing. In the kids and adult classes, there is a mix of hobbyists, competitors, and students who want to learn self defense. We all get individual attention throughout classes. Even at my "old age," I am competing at the biggest events and my BJJ is better than ever. Other things I LOVE about Alliance Roswell: sprung floor and great mats (yes, these make a big difference); very clean facility, and a gym. To top of it off, very cool teammates. You get a free week to check out all the classes.”
