Connection is Important for Humans

A huge component of the joy you’ll find on the the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu mat are the bonds you’ll make. People these days are becoming so isolated. And isolation makes us sad. Well, for the low, low price of membership to Team Alves you’ll have an instant family. It sounds like BS, but it’s real. Here, we are all equals on the mat. We each experience defeat, victory, failure, success, frustration, and elation—common experiences bring us together.

It's not a cult, we promise...

No Matter What Reason You Give, Manny Will Find A Way to Refute It.

There is no valid excuse not to try jiu-jitsul We have worked around every possible injury, neurodivergence, time constraints, money issues. Just try. If you don’t like it, go out and find something that bring you joy. Of course, everyone is not the same. But Brazilian Jiu-jitsu treats, the mind and the body. 

What do I bring to my first class

Just an open mind, and workout clothes with no pockets. Come try a class, and if you like it, we will get you all set up with gear.

I should already be in shape right?

NO! The best way to get in shape is to get on the mats and work hard—whatever that means for you right now. Anyone can do BJJ.

I have an injury, is it safe?

Yes, jiu-jitsu is all about finding the right techniques for your body. And we have plenty of black belts to help you do so. Our community is respectful and will accomodate anything that worries you. Professora Katrina, at 105 pounds has had a neck surgery and can still spar with 200 pound men.
