Jiu Jitsu
In the interest of many of our members, we have added a martial arts program (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) for all ages. We are offering this program on a 6-six week basis, however, we intend for this to be a year-round martial art, self-defense, fitness, and exercise program. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art built around 7 different martial arts with an emphasis on ground self-defense. It is the latest among all martial arts and the most effective self-defense system. Sometimes referred to as “the gentle art,” BJJ uses technique and leverage to take the confrontation to the ground, dominate the position, take control, and end an altercation by applying self-defense techniques to defeat potentially bigger and stronger opponents. There is no age limit to learn these skills.
We will teach our kids, adults, and seniors the same foundational curriculum that’s encouraging, engaging, and fun! This is an excellent way for any age to get exercise and build confidence, strength, discipline, and endurance, all while learning vital self-defense techniques. It also encourages a healthy lifestyle by motivating students to make healthier decisions. Many of the lessons learned through Jiu-Jitsu are applicable to our everyday lives.
The JCC program is a complete and comprehensive curriculum of fundamentals, rules, and guidelines, where students learn the basics of takedowns, escapes, sweeps, dominant positioning, and submissions. This world-class curriculum is designed to develop a strong foundation of Jiu-Jitsu techniques, which are essential for self-defense and sports competitions. Professor Richard, a 10-time medalist and 5-time World and Pan American champion, will teach all classes fundamental and advanced techniques, concepts, and systems to ensure they have a well-rounded understanding of grappling.
Bullying today for all age groups is as prevalent as ever, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective anti-bullying program. If you must defend yourself, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will provide you with tools to control the situation, as well as the wisdom to avoid violence when possible.
There is no need to get in better shape before trying our program. Training BJJ is an excellent aerobic and anaerobic exercise that improves cardio, strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility. Jiu-Jitsu is great for reducing body fat and increasing muscle tone, and it’s a fun way to get into shape or improve athletic conditioning.
Professor Richard Allen
Headed by Professor Richard Allen, a retired businessman, is an International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Black Belt, 5-time IBJJF Masters World and Pan American Champion, and 5-time Masters Silver & Bronze medalist. Professor Richard has trained with the top World, Pan American, Judo, and Brazilian Champions. Professor Richard currently trains at Alliance Dallas with Brazilian World Champion Joao Gabriel Rocha from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before permanently moving to Dallas, Professor Richard co-owned a successful jiu-jitsu academy in California (a Cobrinha Jiu-Jitsu affiliate).
When Professor Richard is not on the mats, he enjoys strength training, fly-fishing, playing chess, and enjoying his 8 grandkids, ages 2 through 13, who call him “Poppy.” His dedication to physical fitness is a top priority for him, ensuring that he can continue to teach and give back to the jiu-jitsu community.
Coach Faith Harrell
Meet Coach Faith Harrell, an IBJJF Blue Belt, is one of our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors with several years of youth and adult martial arts experience. Coach Faith, who grew up locally, has competed and won more than 13 medals under Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and now Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in Dallas. Recently, Coach Faith won a Silver medal at the IBJJF Worlds held last August in Las Vegas.
Professor Richard along with Coach Faith will teach our 4 to 12-year-old children the same foundational curriculum in a way that’s encouraging, engaging, and fun! Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent way for kids to get exercise while learning vital self-defense techniques. Our instructors will mix Jiu-Jitsu concepts with games and play to keep the kids engaged and having fun !
