About Us
Alliance is the premier jiu-jitsu team in the world. We hold
the record of most World Championships won at 13. Our roots trace back to Romero “Jacare” Cavalcanti, one of six black belts under the legendary Rolls Gracie. He, along with his students Fabio Gurgel and Gigi Paiva, founded Alliance in 1993. What makes Alliance different is its methodology. We use structured programs to develop the highest level of technique, and in doing so have produced the best results in the history of competitive jiu-jitsu.
