"Fantastic gym with some amazing coaches. Fun and friendly atmosphere for hobbyists and a serious competition drive for those striving to achieve more. I was made to feel welcome and part of something bigger from the moment I stepped through the door."

"Being a female I was nervous to join a new gym in a largely male dominated sport but the atmosphere at alliance is super friendly, everyone was so welcoming and having the ladies only class to try first was a nice way to ease into the new environment. The coaches are incredibly helpful and considerate and a pleasure to learn from. Highly recommend!"

"Trained at Alliance for 3 years now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. The coaching is exceptional. The people are all friendly and welcoming and they have classes to suit all levels. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about starting their journey in Jiu Jitsu or moving from another club."

"I've been fortunate enough to train at a lot of gyms all around the world and Alliance Newcastle has the highest standard across the board, coaching, skill level and gym atmosphere. Chris runs an amazing gym and if you're just starting out, Alliance is the place to go as everyone who trains there seems to develop exceedingly well compared to most gyms!"

"The best place to train. Caters for everyone from absolute beginner to those that want to compete. Top level teaching from Chris and the coaches. All members are mega friendly and always willing to help you out if you don't understand the techniques. Theres also chances to attend seminars and train with world champions and legends of BJJ which is an unreal experience."

"The introduction to Jiu Jitsu classes Alliance hold are a godsend. I was out of shape and overweight so wasn't sure if I was fit enough to start Jiu Jitsu. The intro class shows you exactly what BJJ and the classes consist of and allow you to greatly increase your confidence that you are able to undertake this fantastic martial art. Anyone on the fence or nervous about starting Jiu Jitsu I strongly recommend you give this intro class a go."

"Couldn't recommend enough, excellent coaching and great content included in the session. My son also loves the kids classes! Any one who is questioning whether to start just do it! Best thing you will do."

"Without doubt the single best thing I have done to improve my physical and mental health was to join Alliance. Great, knowledgeable instructors and an excellent place for people of all ages and abilities to learn and train. I wish I had have started sooner."

"Started Jiu Jitsu here a few months ago and couldn't recommend the place enough. Modern gym with great coaches and a great atmosphere, look no further for a Jiu Jitsu gym in Newcastle."

Anthony Goodman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The introduction to Jiu Jitsu classes Alliance hold are a godsend. I believe they are the only Jiu Jitsu school in the north east who offer these. I was very out of shape and overweight so wasn't sure if I was even fit enough to start Jiu Jitsu training. The introduction class shows you exactly what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu consists of and what the classes will entail and allows you to greatly increase your confidence that you are able to undertake this fantastic martial art. Anyone on the fence or nervous about starting Jiu Jitsu I strongly recommend you give this intro class a go.

Jak Edwards 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I previously trained at another gym before making the move on over to alliance Newcastle and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, the vibe in the gym is absolutely immaculate and everybody is friendly and welcoming from the start, the classes are taught to a brilliant standard and the coaches are great and more than happy to help with any needs if anybody is considering joining this gym or maybe even starting Brazilian jiu jitsu then I couldn’t recommend alliance Newcastle enough.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with some amazing coaches. Fun and friendly atmosphere for hobbyists and a serious competition drive for those striving to achieve more. Offering kids classes, intro classes for those curious and a range of beginner intermediate and advanced classes means there's something for everyone. I was made to feel welcome and part of something bigger from the moment I stepped through the door.

Andrew Devois 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beginners classes are awesome for a complete beginner to intermediate and morning classes mean I can get a session in before work with other beginners as well as much more experienced players who are always happy to offer guidance and teach. The coaches are exceptional and despite being a club full of absolute killers, everyone here is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Scott Kelly 2 years ago

The people are all friendly and welcoming and they have classes to suit all different levels. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about starting there journey in Jiu Jitsu or for those who are looking to make a move from another club or area.

Fantastic experience: I've been fortunate enough to train at a lot of gyms all around the world and Alliance Newcastle has the highest standard of BJJ across the board, coaching, skill level of the students and the atmosphere of the gym. Chris runs an amazing gym and if you're just starting out in BJJ, Alliance is the place to go as everyone who trains there seems to develop exceedingly well in comparison to most gyms! If you're in the area and just looking for a place to drop-in, Chris, Ross and Steven are all highly skilled athletes and it's worthwhile to go in just for a couple of rolls with some of the best the North East has to offer. If I'm ever back in the UK, Alliance will be the first place I come back to.
