New Healthy Training Snack Available at Front Desk!

Only 6.99 Per Bag! High quality tuna jerky is a staple in any athletes diet. Prof. Jacare eats it!!!!

Better than BeefA quality product starts with quality ingredients something you will not find in the beef jerky market. Beef jerky is made from older steers graded at the bottom of the FDA’s eight tier rating system for beef products. Itsumo Ahi Tuna Jerky is made from only the highest quality sushi in the world.

DHA Omega 3There has been a dramatic surge in interest recently amongst the public and health professionals alike on the health effects of omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oils. DHA plus EPA are both considered to have beneficial effects in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease plus associated risk factors as well as other chronic disorders.
Natural Sea SaltItsumo’s promise is to always use the most natural and healthy ingredients. That’s why we stay away from processing and artificial additives, just look at our label. You can read and pronounce everything on it. What a change! Don’t you think it’s time you have natural, healthy snacking a chance.
A World LeaderWe are the world leader in Sashimi Ahi production with 15 tons processed daily. Our main facility in the Southern Phillipines employs our patented chemical free, CO free, and chlorine free shelf life extension and pathogen elimination technology to yield true Japanese grade AAA #1 Ahi Tuna Jerky.

Alec wins the Absolute!

2010-04-12T11:24:00.003-04:00

Total Domination by Alliance! Especially by the Atlanta Purple Belts, after winning their respective divisions Alec and Jordan Places 1st and 3rd in the Purple Belt Absolute. For those that don't know, the Absolute division is made up of the guys that placed first, second or third in their weight class. So even though Alec only weighs 180lbs he fought and beat the champion of the 250lbs division

Alec's Final Match

2010-04-10T00:10:00.000-04:00

Alec is a Pan Am Champion!

2010-04-09T19:46:00.003-04:00

Big Congrats to Alec for winning his division at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Pan American Championships in California this weekend! An awesome achievement!

No Kids Class On Thursday

2010-04-06T23:49:00.000-04:00

Dear Parents,

We hope this message finds you well and enjoying spring. We are following up on some scheduling changes for this week due to Alec and I competing in the Pan Ams tournament in California. Unfortunately we have been unable to find a substitute teacher for Thursdays classes,April 8th, so classes will be canceled.

The good news is that there will be classes on Saturday, April 10th, as regularly scheduled. Saturdays classes will be taught by Alliance Black Belt, Pat Harvey. Mr. Harvey is a teacher at Walton High School here in Atlanta so we thank him for helping us out with our program.

We appreciate so much the support and understanding of all the parents and students involved in our Alliance Kids program.

Once again Thursday April 8th, classes are canceled

Saturday April 10th Classes will be held as regularly scheduled.

If you have any questions or need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

2010-04-04T16:58:00.000-04:00

2010-03-13T00:45:00.001-05:00

Dear Parents,

Unfortunately this Saturday we will only have two classes, little ninjas 9:30-10, and we are combining all other kids in the 10-10:45. There will be no 10:45-11:30 kids BJJ class.

We apologize for the last minute rescheduling but as you know Alliance is committed to competing. We are a competition based academy which makes it difficult sometimes to adhere to the Saturday schedule and as it turned out Jacare has signed me up to participate in the Pro division at the Lutador and I will have to leave the academy by 11:00am. The Lutador (www.lutadorgrappling.com) which is being held in Sandy Springs on Saturday is a great BJJ event for the Atlanta area and we would love for you to come out and support our team. There will even be open registration on the day of the event so if so inclined you can join us. Alec will be there coaching and supporting the kids competing.

I understand the difficulties of this and appreciate your patience and devotion to our program. Again, we invite all of our students who attend the 10:45 class to participate in the 10:00 class.

Also while I have your attention I thought I would be proactive in letting you know that Alliance is going to be participating at the Pan Ams one of the world's largest BJJ events on April 7,8,9 & 10 in Irvine, CA. I am working to find a substitute instructor for those days since Alec and I will be competing.

Thank you for your time,

Ian On the Mat Interview

2010-02-11T14:19:00.001-05:00

recently sat down and interviewed Mr. Ian McPherson, number 5 on Gracie Magazine’s list of who to watch out for in 2010. Ian is known as one of the nicest guys in the entire Alliance organization. He will work repetitions of the most basic techniques with the newest white belt for hours, just out of love for the sport. Ian is always the first one at the academy and the last to leave. His competitive drive is second to none.
