Emailed coach Ed about starting the adult program. I let him know it had been years since I had done any grappling and that I was horribly out of shape, to say the least. He responded back promptly and invited me for a week of free classes. I was hooked on day 1. The instruction is top notch, the students are awesome and the environment is great. No egos whatsoever. I ended up signing my daughter up for the junior classes and they are great too. Coach Ed and his Junior Instructors do an awesome job of teaching and mentoring the kids regardless of skill level and personality. It has to be tough managing so many personalities; from adult students, teenagers, children, and parents... but they make it look easy.

Next level martial arts is simply the best place to go if you are wanting to better yourself. If you want to get into better shape, more self confidence, ability to protect yourself and the ones you love if you are simply wanting a family of brothers and sisters who will support you on any journey through martial arts this is the place for you. Amazing instructors. Ed, Toni and Jason have so much knowledge it would be a waste to not come in and experience what they have to offer our communities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have three kiddos enrolled - & one of them is the littlest & youngest at the gym. Coach Ed & his two older children are amazing coaches full of grace & patience. We have high expectations when it comes to people working closely with our children & each lesson they have given our children time, attention, positive praise & encouraged them to help build their confidence. Giving our kids the best chance at being predator proof in a cruel world is what Coach Eds gym is about.

Its nice that so many people love this place. All I want is a copy of my contract with out being threatened to be sued by the owner. Its a simple request. Most well ran businesses have no problem providing a contract they should have kept on file. Especially since I never received a copy to begin with and have asked for it to be sent several times.This is a neutral review by the way, not in any way negative, only factual.

Ive wanted to train martial arts for a few years now but couldnt find the right place until Ed opened Next Level in Alliance. It was well worth the wait. Between school sports, and 6 years in the military, Ive never experienced better coaching and mentorship than Ed provides. Everyone there is awesome and helpful in every way. I couldnt imagine training anywhere else!

Awesome place to train with a wonderful community! I absolutely love training here and will continue to. The support is wonderful and everytime I come I learn something new whether its from Ed and Tony or their students. If youre looking to learn martial arts this is the place!

Head instructor, Edward bean, is a great teammate, teacher, competitor, and friend. He gives great instruction of techniques and concepts. Hes a true student of the jiujitsu lifestyle and what it represents.Him, his family, and the team he has created really makes Next level- alliance is place that people enjoy being apart of. Respect brother.

If you’re looking to learn to defend yourself, get in shape, or compete: next level alliance is the place to be. Coach Ed is very knowledgeable, professional, and an all around good guy. My health, confidence, and well being are at an all time high because of this martial art and the training we do on a weekly basis. 10/10 would recommend next level alliance to anyone even slightly interested in joining! I make a 40 minute drive everyday after work just to come to this gym, even though there are gyms that are closer to home. I do this because I know the quality of teaching I am receiving from coach Ed. Love this place and my jiu jitsu family!

Absolutely love the environment here! Coach Ed is awesome and his junior coaches are too. Highly recommend this is the place to come get the entire family involved.

Awesome instructor who very knowledgable! The place is huge and clean! The students were all very welcoming I would highly recommend training here if you live around the alliance area!

This is an amazing place! My daughter absolutely loves going to practice, she cant get enough! The instructors are so skilled and patient, I highly recommend!!!!!

Really enjoyed the classes I have attended with Coach Ed, learned a lot of good details that have helped me out. Great group of people to train with!

I trained at next level for ~2 months before having to move to another state, I have to say out of all 3-4 schools I trained at northeast OH , next level was the best.Coach Ed is detail oriented, knowledgeable and supportive person. his students are technical and respectful and facility is clean and pretty big.I love the variations of warmups they have for bjj classes plus the detail of techniques Ed shows. Coach Ed uses a lot of modern bjj guards/moves in his game, so if you are interested in modern bjj you can definitely learn from him.If you are into self defense bjj, they have many classes during the week as well. It is more of a personal preference, but I enjoy sport jiujitsu in general, so I wish they had more sport jj classesoverall good academy, go there, learn from Ed and have fun rolling!

Great place to learn real self defense, and competitive brazilian jiujitsu as well as muay thai kickboxing. Great for kids and adults alike with a well structured and easily accessible wealth of knowledge from some of the best martial arts minds in the area! A welcome atmosphere and sociable coaching puts this place on the map for quality martial arts in alliance.

As a parent of 2 kids who attend the kids BJJ classes, I can’t say enough about this facility. The owner and his family run a great program, and they are are all extremely knowledgeable about jiu jitsu. My kids have trained with Coach Ed for over a year now, and have learned many invaluable skills and techniques. My 10 year old and 6 year old both look forward to going to class each day, and my 3 year old begs me for the day he is old enough to start training as well. Would absolutely recommend to any parent looking to start their children training martial arts!

I’ve been training strictly BJJ under Ed for about five months. The facility offers BJJ for adults/kids, Muay Thai, and weights. I started at the old facility, and the first day I walked in to sign up for my trial I was shaking with anxiety. I think this could be relatable to a lot of people. I had been a fan of MMA for years, and came in with zero experience. My first couple weeks were tough to adjust, but my teammates were very helpful and encouraging. I’ve created good bonds with them and we continue to make each other better every single day. Training here gave me a reason to want to live healthier and to continue learning. Ed has maintained an awesome environment for education. Everyone offers their knowledge and it’s a great group of people to bounce ideas off of. If you’re coming in to try the gym out you will be included and welcomed by everyone on the mat. That’s guaranteed. The mat is large and cleaned with care. Definitely recommended.

Amazing place to train, very patient and knowledgeable.

It’s in the contract! What kind of shady business threatens to sue a mother who leaves a honest review? And to say they have a clause in their contract stating you can’t leave a negative review?

Best place I ever learned self defense, everyone is so nice and kind, I recommend learning self defense here.

I cannot say enough about how awesome the instructors at this school are. Incredibly knowledgeable in their craft. These schools feel like family when you walk in. Everyone wants to know your name and Your background. It’s really a great place to train!

I waited months, driving past here every day, trying to work up the courage just to walk through the front (side) door. Immediately after I did, my fears were alleviated. The owner/instructor, Ed, as well as every student who trains here, varying in ALL ages and sizes, is authentically warm and welcoming. I have only been training for shortly over a week and my confidence, endurance, and overall Jiu-Jitsu knowledge has benefitted immensely. I plan to train here for a long time to come, and I am so grateful I found this place.

I love this place! It’s the best in the area! The instructors are awesome and love what they do! Go check it out if you haven’t yet you won’t regret it :)

Great staff, very knowledgeable!

Next Level Martial Arts is amazing and my children love the teacher and his kids. I highly recommend this Martial Arts school to anyone who has kids that has way to much energy!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Great instructor and great people! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn self defense or just get in great shape and have a good time.

The coaches are top notch destroyers!!! Ive trained with them for almost two years now, I highly recommend to anyone who wants to train kick boxing or grappling. Also great for kids!!

Incredible place to train BJJ!

Great MMA gym. Had zero experience in Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They welcomed me with open arms and were willing to work with me and teach me what I was doing wrong and what I need to work on. Highly recommend

They made me feel at home and taught me so much in just one class! Can’t wait for more!

Have been attending jiu jitsu here for about a week. Great coaches and people. Everyone there helps to make you feel that you belong. My son is also in the kids classes and he loves it. Cant say enough about the people there. Great place to learn jiu jitsu and have a great time doing it. Would recommend to anyone!

Ive been training jiu jitsu here for a couple weeks now and so far I love it. Its great for someone with little to no experience, or someone whos been training for years. The coaches are great and everyone who trains here are too

Incredibly kind and skilled instructors. The gym is also very sanitary

This was my very first experience with Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; Coach Ed really is a fantastic instructor that proves to be educational and has a very intimate relationship with the art. Coach Tony who teaches Muay Thai is also very impressive! I look forward to spending a lot of years developing my skill here!

The instructor is top notch BJJ savage!!! 12/10 would recommend!!

Great facillty with great instruction
