Alliance Jiu Jitsu Maryland (The Foundry)

"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!"
