Randle T
"Coach Alan is an awesome instructor. Super knowledgeable in Jiujitsu and has a great teaching style! His self defense classes are authentic Gracie Jiujitsu as taught by Grandmaster Helio. Highly recommended 🙏🙏"
Daniel Gregory
"Training with Alan was the highlight of my time in Little Rock. He is a fantastic instructor, and a genuinely good person who surrounds himself with awesome people. I not only learned great BJJ, but built a community of friends that I still keep up with and visit four years after getting assigned to a different state. High level BJJ in a chill atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out his school."
Chris Gage
"Alan is an awesome instructor & he loves teaching kids self defense as well as adults. Go check out his classes, l think you'll enjoy his teaching. He is patient with the kids & if they don't catch on to a move he will continue to show the individual until they get it out at least close to it until next class time."
