Alliance Ames Brazilian JiuJitsu

We love how the coaches care so much about the students here. My son has grown physically and mentally by leaps and bounds during his time at Alliance Jiu-Jitsu. Adults and kids can get their first three classes free to try it out!

I cannot say enough good things about Vlad and his gym. My son has done youth classes and I took adult classes. I was so impressed by the way the youth classes were conducted and Vlad knew everyone by name even if it was one of their first few classes. I'm still not sure how he does that, but it is a superpower. The youth classes seemed to emphasize structure, fun, discipline, and encouraged the older students to help the younger/newer students which I found very valuable. The adult beginner classes are not too intense and approachable. Vlad is extremely welcoming and friendly to everyone that comes through his door. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who has considered BJJ as Vlad will walk you through everything based on your skill level.

Such a great gym, from newcomers to people who have been doing jiu jitsu for several years. Vlad is an amazing coach, and all the teammates are chill dudes. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been attending training at Ames BJJ for just shy of one year. Two of my youngest children have been attending for just a few months. The staff is patient, kind, understanding, but also knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. The facility is clean and orderly and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. A great place for anyone to train!

I have been training with Vlad on and off for the better part of three years. A busy work/family life makes it difficult to train consistently, but Vlad is always welcoming, understanding and happy to pick up where we left off. If it’s been awhile since I’ve been to class he always asks how I’ve been, if I’ve been working out and if I’m comfortable to roll. I couldn’t of found a better gym to call home. Being involved with sports for most of my life, up to and including the collegiate level, I’ve never had a better coach. Vlad’s knowledge is unmatched, he has the best attitude and approach to all that enter his gym no matter their background or experience and he is a coach that I truly believe is world class on all levels with the ability to get anyone where they want to go with bjj.
