5 stars cant be enough to describe my experience at Alliance! GiGi & Lucas are amazing at what they do & truly take the time with each & every student to help them excel, not just on the mat, but in life! It is an honor to train there & I look forward to many more years of learning from them. oss! 🤙

We’re lucky to have Master Gigi and Alliance in Boise! Thanks for great vibes and showing the art of jiu jitsu.

This is the best BJJ academy you can train at in Idaho. You will feel welcomed the moment you step inside. Alliance is unlike any other.

Our whole family joined Alliance. Whether the children’s class, adult beginner or advanced students, Lucas and Gigi are patient and skilled instructors. They meet you at your edge and help you grow. They are passionate about their craft and it shows in their dedication and knowledge. We are having fun and learning a lot. Thank you!

They are ready to teach ALL skill levels with patience and proficiency.If you’re still on the fence, drop in, watch a class, ask some questions, and meet the coaches. Everyone’s welcome.

My whole family loves training with Master Gigi, David, and Lucas! My kids cant wait to go back everyday. Master Gigi and the other black belts provide world class training you will not find anywhere else. Their individualized attention has really helped my daughter to love jiu jitsu. Thank you Alliance Boise for what you have done for my family.

Its such an honor to have the opportunity to train with Gigi, Lucas, and David. They are world-class instructors, right here in my neighborhood in Boise. What an amazing opportunity to learn straight from the source.Credentials aside, they are amazing people. Ive been treated like a brother since walking through the door on day 1. They are patient showing me techniques, and are very approachable with additional questions I might have. They all have a real passion for Jiu-Jitsu, and it shows through in class. The profound depth of knowledge available is humbling yet exciting. Gigi is such a talented instructor and practitioner.The gym is also very family friendly, and I love that. The gym has a warm vibe, and my family is comfortable here. I look forward to bringing my children here to train jiu jitsu when they are old enough. Jiu jitsu has had such a positive impact on my life. The journey has been challenging and fun.Once again, it is such an honor to train here. I cant recommend Alliance enough!

I cant name off all the ways that bjj has helped my kids in so many different aspects of our everyday life. Theyve all grown leaps and bounds with their technique. Let me name off just a few things that have improved. Benie had Fs at school theyre all above a C now. Kami had a very disrespectful attitude and now she recognizes that shes upset and asks for a minute until she can calm down and communicate with me. Anyka was a bit lazy about things now shes doing better about taking the initiative to do things without constantly being prompted. Those may seem like little things, but to me its huge. Now all 3 of my babies have a way to defend themselves and get away if its ever needed, especially since bullying is happening more and more. Im grateful to have found an amazing school with incredible people like Alexandre Paiva Genovesi, David Isaac Cunha Rosadas, Celo Braga, and Lucas! They motivate and encourage the kids every day!

It doesnt take a lot of effort to do a search on the owner, Gigi, to see the incredible list of accomplishments he has achieved in the Jiu Jitsu world. Him and the two other instructors, Lucas and David, have only recently joined the Boise BJJ community from Brazil and will take the local caliber of JJ to another level.The first thing youll notice is their kindness. Youll be greeted like a family member they havent seen in months. Then during training, youll see the passion they have for the sport. For first-timers with JJ, you can ensure safety is a priority. The instructors are very patient and will help teach you at your pace. The quality of instruction is unparalleled. You can expect only the highest quality training from these world and national champions. The group of members are all awesome people with great energy and fun to be around and train with. Jiu Jitsu offers a great community feel and youll be welcomed by everyone.I have been going consistently since the first day they opened and have improved my game tremendously (and so has my 13 yr old daughter!). Its a very unique opportunity to have this kind of talent in the Boise area and Im grateful to be a part of it. 🙏

An amazing jiu jitsu academy with great people. If you have ever considered learning jiu jitsu this is a no brainer. Idaho is so lucky to get this high level of instructors in our backyard.

Professor Alexandre “Gigi” Paiva is one of the top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructors in the world, and we are fortunate to have him move to Eagle, Idaho. Gigi is a great person and teaches FLAWLESS techniques. Every single class is something new and innovative. Lucas Figueiredo is also one of the instructors (a first degree black belt that started BJJ at 3 years old), and his jiu jitsu is at the highest level. His teaching style is easy to comprehend, and he is always willing to make the positions work for your body type/style. Just try a class and you’ll see!

Highest quality Brazilian jiu jitsu in the treasure valley.

Best school with the BEST instructors!
