Chris
"Joining the Foundry family is one of the best commitments of time you can make for yourself (and your children). From the moment you walk in you will realize this is not some “typical martial arts business” but something far more special. It’s an incredible group of people from all walks of life pushing their potential under the best instruction around. The founder (Noel), is truly an amazing teacher and person. He leads a stable of highly decorated instructors who actively compete in tournaments across the nation. Yet, despite their competitive success, they are all humble, encouraging and patient; ensuring that even a beginner can acquire skills from their proven talent. I have referred several friends and even enrolled my young son along with me, as they truly care about every student’s development and tailor classes to every skill level and age. I see myself making Foundry/ Alliance a commitment for many many years to come."

"I started my kids here less then a year ago and they have learned so much in the few months. All the coaches are exceptional and very knowledgeable. The journey my kids have gone through is just a beginning and can't wait to see them grow and develop."

"I've been training at The Foundry Jiu Jitsu in Maryland for nearly two years, and it's been an incredible journey. The instructors here are knowledgeable, passionate, and truly invested in helping each student reach their full potential in all levels, (as a high ranking BJJ competitor or simply as a hobbyist). Their guidance has been instrumental in my development as a Brazilian jiu jitsu hobbyist. The Foundry's culture is one of its greatest strengths. It's a supportive, friendly, and drama-free environment where everyone is focused on supporting each other to improve. I'm blessed to have made new friends and lifelong training partners here. The facility itself is always very clean and well-maintained, which creates a great and safe atmosphere for learning and training. I also appreciate the balance of challenging classes and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. If you're looking for a quality Jiu Jitsu academy with top-notch instruction, a supportive community, and a clean safe training environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Foundry Jiu Jitsu."

I truly cherished my experience there and would recommend this gym to anyone in the area, from someone looking to start BJJ to an experienced practitioner."
