Alliance BJJ Houston is an open community.

Whether you are passing through for a day, in town for a week, or simply looking to roll with someone new, you will find a respectful, hard-working team ready to share the mat.

Drop-In FAQs
How much is the drop-in fee?
Drop-ins are $25 per class. Pay at the front desk when you arrive — cash or card both work.
Do I need to bring my own gi?
If you have a gi, bring it. If you do not, we have loaner gis available for $10 while supplies last, first come first served. No-gi classes only require rash guard and shorts.
Can members bring a guest for free?
Yes. Every Alliance BJJ Houston member gets one free guest pass per month to bring a friend or family member to class. After that one free pass, additional guests pay the standard $25 drop-in fee.
I am visiting Houston for a week — can I get a discount?
Yes. For visitors staying in town longer, we offer a discounted weekly guest pass. Speak with Marco when you arrive and we will work something out.
Do I need to sign up in advance?
Walk-ins are welcome. A quick message or phone call ahead of time is appreciated so we can make sure a coach is on the mat and the class is a good fit for your experience level.
What should I expect my first class?
Classes begin with a warm-up, followed by technique drilling and supervised live sparring. Coaches will pair you with training partners who match your experience level. Every visitor gets the same structured class as our members.
Can I just watch a class instead of training?
Absolutely. If you want to observe a class before committing to a drop-in, come by during class hours and the front desk will direct you to the viewing area.
The bottom line: Still have questions?
Call the academy or send a message through the contact page — we are happy to answer anything before your visit.
