BEGINNERS
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU CLASSES
THE JOURNEY STARTS HERE.
🔹 Fundamentals (With or Without Sparring)
Perfect for all belts! Focus on learning techniques, drills, and positional training. Classes labeled non-sparring include technique and drilling only, while with sparring includes light positional sparring. It’s encouraged for beginner students to take both to get the most out of the program.
🔸 All Levels (Gi / No-Gi)
Open to all students but recommended to have at least one stripe. These classes include open and/or positional sparring.

Whether you're training for the podium, or looking to improve your fitness, our instructors and team are seasoned world class champions on and off the matt.
I moved to Alliance Vancouver from another gym because of it's reputation for being the best jiu jitsu academy in town. It has proved to be that and more. The instruction and techniques are top class and the environment is welcoming and friendly.

IBJJF Blue Belt Worlds Gold Medalist
I would strongly recommend the kids program to any parent who is looking for safe environment for their children to gain benefits of an effective martial art.
My kids have been going to this academy for 2 years. The program is taught by a black belt, Walter Buse. The kids have lots of fun and laughs as they learn techniques that work for self defence and competition. They have also had the opportunity to compete in various tournaments where they have won several medals and also several 1st overall kids team titles.
The facilities are very well kept and clean. No funky gym smell!!! Having on site showers are a huge plus.
I can attribute Alliance Jiujitsu to the noticeable improvement in my children’s confidence and attitude on how they deal with challenges and with people.
Cheers!

As both the father of two young children as well as being an educator, I can say without a doubt that the learning environment at Alliance Vancouver is outstanding. The instruction is top notch, the members and staff are welcoming and inclusive, and most importantly for me, it is a place where I can see myself and my family training for years to come.

Clean, professional, and welcoming. An excellent place to learn and train whether you are a beginner, a hobbyist, or a world-class competitor. The gym has a great family vibe.

This gym has the perfect balance of competitiveness and friendliness. Everyone is genuinely nice and helpful in an environment that encourages each student to push themselves. All of the instructors are laid back but very professional. The facility is well maintained and classes always run on time. I couldn't ask for more.
Rob Aduna
Alliance Blue Belt Competitor
I had never done any martial art up until a year ago and was super intimidated. Everyone at the gym has been super supportive and welcoming. It's like a large extended family. I have lots of fun here but be prepared to train and work hard. The results will be very rewarding.

I moved to Alliance Vancouver in late 2016, and have to say it was the best move. The management and instructors are all amazing people whom genuinely want to help you succeed. Of course that trickles down to all the students which has led to the best training I've ever experienced. I'm thankful to have found such great people to share my journey with.
