Closed for Construction

We'd like to publicly thank everyone who came out on Saturday and helped us move into our new facility. Due to the bureaucracy of the city of Dunwoody and Dekalb county, we are still in the process of renovating our new location and will not be having classes on Monday as we hoped.

For all the updates and info about when we will be having our first class in our new home watch this spot and check out our fb page  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alliance-Headquarters/287886581259669

We thank you for your patients as we build the greatest school in N.America

Rapid Fire Purples

In our latest installment of our in house tournament, our purple belts showed that the biggest difference between blue and purple belts is their ability to finish. Some expected to see some long matches and even stepped out for lunch as the tournament began, only to return with the event already over.

After some exciting finishes it came down to Joey Collins and Jim Brochu. Two men with very different games. Jim got into the final by his ability to set up chokes from odd angles while Joey relied on his leg locks to put him in the finals. After some back and forth between the two, Jim was the one who went for Joey's foot. Unfortunately for him, this played into the big man's game and didn't let the opportunity to exchange go to waste. After some resistance it was Jim who found himself tapping.

Congratulations to Joey Collins who booked himself a spot at Pan in March. Your registration is on us!
 

Fight For Your Belt Tournament - Blue Belts

In the second installment of our Fight For Your Belt Tournament our blue belts put on a great show! 21 competitors from our association came to fight for a purple belt.


Match of the day - Record Breaking 

We thought the white belts had some long matches, but Philipie Bitencourt and Dexter Rivers took it to a new level. Their first round match lasted 1 hour 46 mins and 25 seconds. An extraordinary battle that came to the brink so many time, but the guys always found some way to hold on. Well almost always.

Philipe went on to win that epic battle, and fought another 2 matches before falling to the eventual champion. Philipe ended up competing for a grand total of 1 hour, 55 mins and 47 seconds. Clearly he was exhausted!

After watching the marathon of a match Jacare decided that 37yr old  Dexter River had earned his purple belt. Even though he lost the match, a new belt is a nice consolation

New Purple Belt

Chris Nicolias fought his way to the top of the blue belt mountain on Saturday. Chris requested to delay his official promotion until he competes in the Pan in March. Hopefully Chris will have another dominating performance in Cali

Match of the Day

Special shout out to Derik Wilson and James Godwin who ended up fighting for 54mins and 23 seconds in their first round match. You guys are both worriers, that was incredible!


New Blue Belt

Big congrats to Brian Hutchings who came out on top on Saturday. Brian fought 4 tough matches to be the last man standing and our newest blue belt. Good job to our black belt Casey Banes who is obviously doing a great job in Athens at Megaladon BJJ to have his student win this event.
