I started judo in July and Lakea, the instructor absolutely looks after everyone in his class. He has an incredible ability to gauge what each of his students can handle. The class is interesting dynamic of young and older students that look after each other like a family. There are no macho head games or wanna be tough guys.

Picked Atos because Professor Chris himself answered the phone and sounded warm and inviting. The facility was not cramped and was clean and well lit. The culture was very positive with hand shakes, smiles, helpfulness and respect. They're fine with visitors being in colored Gi. Kids class was perfect for my kids, well stocked with white and grey belts and plenty of attentive coaches. Adult class was conveniently right after and I was well looked after both of our visits. Trained with brown, purple, and blue belts (a good mix), both sexes, and never felt unsafe. All-in-all I highly enjoyed our visit and my kids wanted to go back. Highly recommend!!! Thank you, Coach Chris!

I signed my son up at first, he had low confidence and wouldn't even let me watch him in class.

So I started and as a family we have become closer.

From the moment I walked in, everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful, which meant a lot to me as a fairly new BJJ practitioner. The class focused on spider/lasso guard, and the instruction was top-notch. Carlos, the instructor, brought an enthusiastic and patient energy to the mat, making sure everyone understood the details and felt comfortable with the techniques. His ability to break things down for different levels was excellent. The team culture here is positive, encouraging, and professional. You can tell they value both the art and the students who come through the door. If you're lucky enough to live in the Orlando area--or even just passing through--I would highly recommend Alliance BJJ. Great instruction, great people, and a fantastic environment to train in!

After requesting to have the membership cancelled due to moving the billing company failed to send the needed forms. I was then told by the owner Alec that it was my fault for not calling after discovering I was continuing to be billed for the next two months. Attempting to get any refund had resulted in the owner actively ignoring calls and stating nothing can be done to help. Overall there are many other options in Orlando and I'd advise staying away unless you're committed to being treated wrong and paying for months that you do not attend in any way. If I could leave a 0 star rating I would solely based off of the customer service.
