2022 Wrap Up #4
This year Alliance became the 2022 World Masters Champions. We sent over 20 athletes to Las Vegas and brought home many medals including world champions @tylerszimmerman Gary Foster and Mike Andrews.
Let’s set a goal to bring an even bigger team in 2023 and see even more faces on top of the podium!

Know Your Roots. Original Master academy logo of Romero Jacaré Cavalcanti and Fabio Gurgel, before the founding of the Alliance team.
In 1993 Romero Jacaré Cavalcanti, Fabio Gurgel and Alexandre Paiva joined forces and founded the Alliance Jiu-jitsu team.
Since then the team continues to grow every year, becoming one of the most important Jiu-Jitsu teams in the world.
In 1997, our worldwide expansion began with the opening of the first international branch in Finland, followed by the New York branch in 1998.
Today we have approximately 300 branches all over the world.
The Alliance team is a 13x world champion in the men's category, 9x in the female category, 4x in the youth category and, in 2022, we won for the first time in the Master category, which shows the strength, dedication and unity of the team.
Come and be part of this story!
ALLIANCE EU SOU. I AM ALLIANCE. 🦅

2022 Wrap Up #3:
Team Training. In 2022 we incorporated monthly team training with @alliancebjjst.croix and @alliancebjjrivercity . The first month was shaky as one of the worst blizzards hit that day but we ended the year strong closing with Iron Eagle!
One of the most overlooked pieces in jiu-jitsu is the concept of team. The idea of team is what has separated Alliance from many others over the decades. It’s something, unfortunately, that is missing from many adult’s lives. Something we all need.
Team is far, far more than a group you compete with. The vast majority of our team will never compete. Your team is your tribe. It’s your support network. It’s who’s along with you on this amazing journey. Who you share the joys of learning, the struggles of training and the pride of accomplishment with.
Too often in BJJ people look at this journey as their’s and their’s alone. They even push the idea of the Ronin. The lone samurai. They float from gym to gym. Never putting a solid root or really allowing themselves to become part of the larger collective. They bounce. Others are extremely quick to abandon ship as soon as there’s a sign rough seas because they don’t fully believe. They haven’t committed. They are alone. They are missing the most beautiful part of the journey.
If your objective is simply your own betterment, a belt or to never have anyone rely on you, then you are lost. Your accomplishments as well as your struggles will be yours and yours alone.
I know no matter how good or trying times get, I have hundreds of friends around the world with the Eagle on their back who are just ready to pat my back in victory as they are to protect it at the first sign of adversity. Because of this trust, a team is precious and must be protected, fostered and cherished at all costs.
Enjoy the journey. Enjoy your teammates journey. Never walk alone. Alliance Eu Sou.

2022 Wrap Up #2:
Brian Olson and our team at @alliancebjjst.croix finished their second full year in amazing fashion. Brian transitioned from a new academy owner, to a full blown force with an amazing academy and even better crop of students. He expanded yet again to now have, arguably, the nicest BJJ academy in the Midwest. Truly impressive.
Cheers to a great 2022 Brian and team! Eastern MN and Western WI couldn’t be in better hands. 🦅

The end of the year is a nice time in jiu-jitsu academies. We train hard all year, compete in tournaments, sweat, struggle, laugh and learn. End of the year is a time to relax and reflect.
As we close out 2022 we will look back on some big accomplishments and events over the year.
Today we would like to recognize Erik “Minero” Miner and @alliancebjjrivercity . Erik celebrated his 1yr anniversary in 2022. Erik is not only one of our toughest and most technical black belts he is one of our affiliates in Winona, MN. Erik approached me about opening his academy and, of course, I said go for it. He moved 2hrs from Minneapolis and started with ZERO students. Exactly like we did 17yrs ago. He built his school the right way. From the ground up. Now he has 100 students that he is growing from white belt and is representing our team in the best way possible.
We’d like to recognize Erik for being exactly what we expect from an Alliance black belt and instructor. Congratulations on your success Minero! Cheers to a great 2022!

REPOST
@misterchilango I closed the year with a special touch. Saturday morning Before starting the “Iron Eagle” in the house tournament, my Professor @alliancempls gave me an award for the best competitor of the Year. I was speechless even when I spoke a little but I can’t forget to mention and thank my Brothers @ryanboykee @tylerszimmerman @aaronnutsford @b.hirtz992 @phill_nye_the_jiujitsu_guy @haulinbass911 @craigpeck612 who traveled the country throughout the whole year and also became my roommates, coaches at the time of my matches as they did theirs being coached by me. 2023 is a few days away and after seeing the results of several matches in the internal tournament, it gives me immense pleasure to see the new generation of Competitors that the team has. As Damián mentioned that day (we're not done fighting yet) but now it is their responsibility to proudly carry the name of our team!!!!

2022 Iron Eagle in the books. 42 athletes put it on the line and two things are for sure: The old guard isn’t ready to give up the crown and the young lions are coming fast and hungry. The next generation is going to be amazing.
Great job to every single person that competed. Every one of you should be proud. Thank you to everyone that stayed to coach and cheer.
Stay posted for highlights and photos, until then: ALLIANCE EU SOU! I AM ALLIANCE 🦅🦅

Congratulations to the newest Alliance Black Belt, Chad Koehler. Chad is not only one of the toughest and hardest working guys in the gym, he’s one of the nicest. A true example for all. It’s an honor to have you as one of our black belts!

Triple Crown. Never had a Jiu Jitsu team won the 3 @ibjjf World Championships: Adult Worlds, Masters Worlds and No Gi Worlds. @alliancejjteam not only achieved this feat but did it all in the same year, 2022. This year will go down in history! If you're an Eagle, like, comment and share, if you don’t want to comment, just leave a like 😂

A very special honor for our Alliance black belt and capoeira instructor Rafael Salzano @salzanorafael . We couldn’t be any more proud. Rafa is an example of a true martial artist , an amazing athlete and an even better man. Parabéns irmao! ❤️🦅
@gingabrasilusa A special moment when our school celebrates its 30 years of history and I had the honor of receiving the red cord and being officially recognized as a Capoeira Mestre by my Mestre.
Thank you very much mestre_nene_ginga for the brotherhood, partnership, respect and trust of a life together in this school of life and in capoeira.
Thank you very much to all my friends present, for the love, respect and partner of many years. Thank you so much to everyone who sent messages or called me leaving a positive energy of congratulations for not being able to be present in body but was there in thought.
Congratulations to everyone who collaborated with the event and to those who exchanged their graduations, especially to my dear students who accompany me. I am proud to see your development through your dedication and discipline, thus making a beautiful and legitimate journey. Thank you so much for the partnership and confidence in my work.
In addition, I would like to thank everyone who has passed through our school over the years and who I had the honor of sharing and receiving a little knowledge.
Life goes on, and the learning continues... these last almost 30 years I saw my Master always on his red rope. Let another 30 come 🙏
"its principle has no method and its method is inconceivable to the wisest of teachers."
