Alvarez Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“Alvarez Jiu Jitsu hosted a Girls in Gis event and the accommodations were incredible! There was a wonderful changing area for women, which if you have trained at other academies like I have, is not usually readily available. There was a great area for parents and friends who were not participating in the event to relax. The mat was huge, with plenty of space for everyone to train. The academy was clean and the owner, Danny Alvarez, was inviting. The female instructors, Marisol Fuentes and Casey Garcia were very technical, but clear in their instruction for all belt levels. I would definitely recommend this academy, especially if you are looking for a clean, female friendly place to train!”

“Coach Alvarez let me train while I was in town, which was awesome of him. The atmosphere there is great, and the community is full of people happy to roll with a newbie. Tons of cool people and a great experience all around. Definitely check it out!”

“I can say nothing but great things about my time at Alvarez - great instruction from Coach KJ, great rounds from the team that were high level and competitive but also respectful. The mats are huge with plenty of room to work. I was amazed by the attendance at the 6am class, bigger than most schools. This place has a ton of offer so if you are looking for a home to train BJJ in Mansfield/South Arlington this place. One thing in particular is, just from being a guest but looking around the school it looks like the leadership team puts tremendous emphasis on community building; there were words of encouragement, birthday shout outs, and more all throughout the gym. Definitely gives very welcoming vibes. Next time I'm in Mansfield I will be coming back. Photo is after 6-7 (lost count) very tough rounds.”

“Nice gym! Facilities are clean; locker room, showers, weight room and 8 competition size mats in the main gym with A/C. Coaching staff are solid, fully explains techniques and allows plenty of rep time and pointers before going onto the next thing. Highly recommend if you want to take the sport seriously, seems quite a few of the practitioners here compete regularly so, the experience pool is deep!”

“Environment: 10/10 would do again Coaching: 10/10 they fostered a great learning experience stressing the importance of technique while letting you explore your own style Cohesion: 10/10 I visited the academy while in town to assert dominance over my brother in law. I had a great time training with other members who made me feel right at home. To my chagrin they even encouraged my failed attempt at domination. Thank you all for having me.”
