Umesh Gupta
"Joining the Alliance Jiu-Jitsu team has been a life-changing experience for me. I feel incredibly lucky to have a coach like Victor, whose guidance and dedication have made a huge impact on my journey. The program has not only helped me grow as a practitioner but has also transformed me personally. Being part of the Alliance family has been a privilege—my teammates and the people in my academy are not just skilled but also supportive and inspiring. I couldn’t ask for a better community to train and grow with. This is a decision I will never regret!"
Ana Grasel
"I've been training at Alliance for over 4 months now, and I couldn't be more satisfied! I felt very welcome since the first day. The instructors are amazing—attentive, thoughtful, and dedicated to make sure students are learning while having a good time. The vibe on the mat is very positive!everyone is very friendly, and students are encouraged to help each other which creates a collaborative and inclusive environment. The mat is very clean, and they have a well-organized space. I started with Alliance because a good girlfriend told me about them and now I've been telling other women because I know it's hard to find a place where you can train feeling safe and comfortable. Alliance is definitely that place, and I'm very happy to be a part of it. My experience has been amazing, and I'm excited to keep training and improving my BJJ skills with them ◡̈"

"I have been training at Alliance SF for about a year now, and I can confidently say that it has been an incredible experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated to helping students improve their skills. The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming and inclusive, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced practitioners to train. I have seen significant progress in my BJJ techniques and overall fitness since joining the gym. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and fun, providing a great balance of technique drilling, sparring, and conditioning. The camaraderie among the students creates a supportive and motivating environment that encourages growth and learning. I appreciate the emphasis on technique, discipline, and respect that the gym instills in its students. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Alliance to anyone looking to start their BJJ journey or continue their training at a top-notch facility. Thank you to the instructors at Alliance for creating such a positive and enriching training environment. I look forward to continuing my BJJ journey at this exceptional gym."
Che Zhu (Daniel)
"Been training here for more than three months now, and it is definitely the best Dojo in the Bay Area and one of the best Jiu Jitsu acadmies I have ever been to. The instruction team and all the teammates welcomed me with great passion on the first day as a new comer, and all the instructions were detailed both in terms of techniques and concepts, and even interactive, techniques are up to date. A great place for both visiting and long term training."
