⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My son has been training at the academy for just over 5 years now, and out of the various clubs over the years that we have been involved in, this is by far and away the best. It's well structured, disciplined, respectful, value for money, has good communication, and most importantly is welcoming and fun. All coaches are extremely patient, diligent and encouraging to all members; children and adults alike. It can be as relaxed or as competitive as you wish, depending on your personal journey with Jiu Jitsu. It builds confidence and self esteem, along with great friendships. Cannot recommend highly enough!

My 3 boys have trained with Allegiance for the last 6 years, the coaching is impeccable. The knowledge, skills and confidence my kids have gained is awesome. Don't hesitate to give it a go and get the kids involved. You'll be coached by international champion black belts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We joined this academy 4years ago and it has by far been one of the best decisions we made, for my boys & us as a family. Both my sons, now 11yrs & 8yrs old attend at least 4/5 times per week. They have always been bought up to have an athletic mindset and now have a real love & passion for the sport since being at Allegiance JiuJitsu Academy. As well as teaching them new skills & techniques it has had the most positive impact on their confidence & discipline. It is a very family friendly environment & there are so many great role models within the Sensei"s &coaches to aspire the kids to do well. In the current climate we live in, with all the knife crime and concerns parents have, it's comforting to know our children are in safe hands & off the streets. Thank you Allegiance JiuJitsu Academy Ilkeston.
