Programs

ADULT JIU JITSU

Our jiu jitsu program is designed for people of all ages. Jiu Jitsu, as a martial art, is truly appropriate for everyone. Whether your goals are focused on learning self-defense, fitness or competition, our program is structured to meet your training goals. There is a place for everyone in our school!

Our Jiu Jitsu Classes will:

At Alliance Pennsylvania we follow the proven curriculum that has made Alliance Jiu-Jitsu the greatest team in competition history. Student learning is maximized through detailed instruction and monitored sparring for beginners so that new students can compile basic techniques to put immediately into practice. As students progress into the more advanced classes they will add more techniques to their personal library that build off the basics they learned early in training. When you come to a class at Alliance Pennsylvania you will gain a superior way to defend yourself, experience functional fitness, increase flexibility, and meet a great group of people from all walks of life looking to help you improve.

KIDS & TEENS JIU JITSU

At Alliance Jiu Jitsu we offer three levels of youth classes: Little Eagles, Youth, and Teens. Our youth program teaches respect and control while strengthening character and providing unshakable confidence. We know that bullying is a serious concern for many parents. No parent wants their child to bully or be bullied. At Alliance Pennsylvania, our youth program teaches children how to safely diffuse encounters without violence. Unlike most martial arts, Jiu-Jitsu uses leverage-based holds and defensive maneuvers instead of punches and kicks to neutralize an aggressor in a safe manner.

MUAY THAI

Muay Thai utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and grappling techniques. Classes focus on learning and developing Muay Thai fundamentals, techniques, and strategies through pad work, drilling and sparring. Students of all ages participate in Muay Thai for a variety of reasons such as fitness, competition, and self-defense.

YOGA

Our yoga is a power vinyasa class taught in a warm space. It is open to all levels. Options to scale back and go deeper are offered throughout the class. The flows are designed to link movement to breath in a way that promotes strength and endurance. This is a faster paced style of yoga meant to leave you feeling energized.

Shannon is a Yoga Alliance, RYT 200 certified instructor. Shannon fell in love with vinyasa yoga but found herself struggling with aspects of the practice which did not align to her Christian beliefs. As a result, her classes focus on the physical practice of yoga and does not include eastern beliefs.
