At Alliance Scottsdale, martial arts training is about more than self-defense. The academy focuses on building self-confidence, improved focus, physical strength, and positive social interaction for both children and adults. The training philosophy emphasizes setting goals, working hard, and following through, all while having fun and making friends in a safe, professional environment.
The academy is led by Professor Thiago Ximenes, a 3rd-degree black belt under Professor Fabio Gurgel with over 35 years of martial arts experience. Professor Ximenes began training in Judo at age 4 and competed as a world-class elite athlete, medaling at multiple international events including world championships. He transitioned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and trained at Alliance São Paulo under Professor Fabio Gurgel. His competitive BJJ record includes 3-time World Medalist, 8-time Pan-American Medalist, over 10-time National Medalist, and 4-time European Medalist. Professor Ximenes is dedicated to sharing his knowledge, focusing on details with students and mentoring both children and adults to develop confidence, fitness, focus, and producing the next generation of elite athletes.
