Craig Melchiano
"This is an amazing school, one of the best I’ve ever seen. The curriculum is well thought out. Very professional. The kids classes are big with lots of different ages and levels. My son loves it. The are many adult classes so no matter what your schedule is you can always find a class to train. You can train at the beginner and intermediate levels, and also at advanced and the advanced classes are like they should be. You won’t be disappointed. They really have it all covered and the vibe could not be better. Family vibe, no drama, it’s family friendly, and can get you competition ready if you want to compete. Me and my son love Alliance in Greenville."
John Meridith
"Our son attended classes here. We moved away or we would still be attending. They operate very professionally and with a high level of integrity."
Jack Miller (Jackiewackie_bjj)
"Been training bjj for around 2 years at different gyms, but no other gym comes close to being as good as alliance Greenville."
Austin Flannery
"I wrestled in high school and wanted to get back into grappling! I was able to book my first appointment online with ease. I had my first two sessions with Logan. Logan was very kind, very attentive, and patient. Did an introduction group class after that, and signed up the same day. The fees are really affordable, and the schedule is very flexible. I work a full time job, and there’s always at least one class I can make it to Monday-Friday."
