Alliance Jiu Jitsu | Bruno Malfacine

“I love this gym. Bruno is the best instructor I've ever had. 100% recommend this if you live in Orlando or are looking for a friendly, welcoming gym to stop by on your travels. Edit: This is also a great place for women. There are plenty of women here who have years of experience. The bathrooms have showers and are always clean.”

“Alliance Jiu Jitsu/Bruno Malfacine is the only place in the USA where you can come learn daily from a 10x World Champion. As great as Bruno is at Jiu Jitsu, he's an even better instructor. Bruno and his staff are so friendly that they will make you feel like part of a family from the moment you arrive. The academy offers an extensive schedule and the entire facility is air conditioned. The premium mats are laid on top of a cushioned subfloor, locker rooms with showers, and an optional towel service. There are other academies to choose from in Orlando. However, you have an opportunity to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the "Michael Jordan" of the sport. Why would you go anywhere else? At Alliance Jiu Jitsu/Bruno Malfacine every day is a seminar.”

“Bruno Malfacine’s gym is the real deal. My sons, 14 and 16, are elite athletes, and there’s no better place for them to train than with Bruno. Bruno is hands-on, approachable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. The Training – Bruno’s attention to detail and personalized approach are second to none. He’s not just there to show off his world titles; he’s there to elevate each student. My boys have seen incredible improvements in their skills and mindset since joining. The Environment – The gym is more than just mats and techniques. It’s a community that feels like family. The vibe is inclusive and supportive, pushing everyone to be their best. The facilities are top-notch, with everything you need to train seriously. Character Building – Bruno doesn’t just build champions on the mat. He focuses on respect, discipline, and humility. My sons have grown not only as athletes but as young men under his mentorship. High-Caliber Students – Training with other dedicated and high-level practitioners has been a game-changer. The level of talent at this gym is insane, and it creates a competitive yet supportive environment. If you want your kids to train with the best, Bruno Malfacine Jiu-Jitsu is where it’s at. On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is a solid 20.”

“A stunning facility, world class professors, classes for all levels and a friendly training atmosphere for Jiu Jitsu practitioners at all stages of their martial arts journey. As a white belt still early in my training I didn’t want to miss two weeks of mat time while I traveled to Orlando for work. So on the recommendation of a friend I checked out Bruno Malfacine’s academy after touching down to Florida. Clear signage, lots of parking and a spacious lobby made locating and navigating to the gym extremely convenient. The front reception staff (a Jiu Jitsu purple belt) was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, he provided excellent customer service regarding the best membership options. Ten time world champion Bruno Malfacine teaches fundamentals for white belts all the way through to advanced classes for champion black belts. His extremely comprehensive curriculum chains together moves each class and progresses every week of the curriculum guaranteeing you’ll learn a sequence that can immediately be applied both for self defense and competition settings. In addition to group lessons I took 1:1 sessions with both owner Bruno as well as his head of staff purple belt Steven. Both were phenomenal experiences. For those looking for a more economical option to drill down on the fundamentals I strongly recommend investing in a five pack or more of lessons with Steven. His mini master course of Jiu Jitsu fundamentals is a game changer for white belts. I had a wonderful experience at this gym and look forward to training there again on my next trip to the area.”

“Great place to train. The instructors friendly and the members are very welcoming. Additionally, the facilities are well kept—the mats are always clean and the locker room has showers and is also cleaned daily. I'm glad I chose Bruno's gym to begin my BJJ journey.”
