Alliance BJJ Houston

Alliance BJJ Houston has been the headquarters for Alliance Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Houston, Texas since 2015, representing one of the most elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teams in the world. The academy's wide range of instructors have trained and learned from the Alliance founders Fabio Gurgel, Romero Cavalcanti (Jacaré), and Alexandre Paiva (Gigi), as well as world champion athletes including Lucas Lepri, Bruno Malfacine, Bernardo Faria, Cobrinha, and Michael Langhi.

Alliance BJJ Houston focuses on teaching the Alliance Methodology, which emphasizes fundamentals for self defense through world championship techniques seen in today's top competitions. The academy welcomes world-class instructors to their facility yearly for specialized training. The training atmosphere balances intensity with respect, offering classes for both children and adults in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, No-Gi grappling, Muay Thai, and MMA.

Led by head instructor Danny Duckworth, an Alliance black belt (2nd stripe) under Raul Jimenez, the coaching team includes multiple black belts: Alef DaSilva (trained in Brazil from childhood), Antonio Santiago (Marine Corps veteran, black belt since 2021), Ruben Villarreal (black belt December 2024), and John Garza. The facility features top-tier amenities including a weight room, sauna, showers, camera system, and two raised mats for optimal training.
