About Us

Team Alves was established in 2012, since that time we have grown a healthy team, and supported many people along their BJJ journey.

We are a family busines (husband, wife, and son all teach at the gym), and we consider all of our students family.

We live by the credo: FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING.

Beginning students begin with one-on-one instruction with Professor Alves so they can enter class with confidence.

We offer over 20 classes per week to accommodate any schedule. We have Kids’ Classes for ages 4-8 and for 8 and up, as well as Adult Beginner, Female-Only, and Open Mats for everyone. On Sundays after training we like to do ice baths and spend time together barbecuing.

Katrina is certified in Yoga for BJJ.

Family Over Everything

We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment to everyone.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires inherent trust in your training partners and instructors.

We train hard, we laugh loudly, we joke around like family, but at the end of the day respect, discipline, and trust are the cornerstone of our mission.
