Alliance Jiu Jitsu Maryland (The Foundry)

"Foundry Jiu Jitsu is the best place to train! The coaches are all incredibly talented, skilled, and experienced, not just in their Jiu Jitsu abilities, but also in how they teach. It takes a true master of the art to be able to break down techniques in a way that anyone, regardless of experience, can understand. Beyond the instruction, the environment at Foundry is warm, welcoming, and extremely supportive. It's a safe space where you're encouraged to learn, make mistakes, and grow. It's also very clean! Everyone here is deeply dedicated and the values of hard work, consistency, and humility are ingrained in the culture. Those values don't just help you improve in Jiu Jitsu, they carry over to your personal life. I am extremely proud to be apart of this community, and I whole heartedly recommend!"

"Foundry is the first place I trained in the DMV after moving from New York and training at Renzo Gracie’s academy there. The instruction is first class, and better yet the environment is incredibly supportive/welcoming which has made training as I’ve gotten older so much easier to keep coming back to. Noel and his family treat all the students like their family, I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"I trained here from 2018-2023. The instruction is top notch: Felipe, Tadiyah, and Noel are all extremely detail oriented and always helped fix technique. Whether you're interested in competing or simply learning self defense - I recommend them. This is the sort of culture you want in a martial arts academy. They take hygiene seriously; you'd be hard pressed to find cleaner mats anywhere."

"Joining the Foundry has by far been one of the best decisions of my life. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner. All of the instructors are absolutely amazing and really care about progressing every individual that walks through the door. I look forward to each training session not only for learning and progression, but because of the atmosphere and people that make it so great. If you live in the area or are visiting the DMV you should definitely drop in!"
