Most impressive and expansive facilities I have seen yet. Open all day with classes every hour, The Arena features separate buildings for Jujitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai / MMA all connected on one central campus. The staff are welcoming and the coaches are knowledgeable. They have even trained Navy SEALs.
Came to San Diego for vacation and wanted to swing by Victory MMA. I stopped at another place prior and it just didn’t feel welcoming. Coming through Victory, all the staff were nice, professional and friendly. I got to experience getting one on one time with Dean Lister and it was great!
My family and I absolutely LOOOVE Alliance!! In February 2023 Coach Deb scheduled our kids for the intro bjj class. They had such a blast!! We instantly felt welcomed by everyone and decided to sign them up right away. Our daughter started out in the toddler class (3.5-5yrs // Tues/Thurs/Sat for 5yr olds).
