If you’re looking for a real, competitive gym to legitimately learn martial arts alive mma is the place to go. I’ve had a membership for a couple years now and I’ve always felt welcomed. The atmosphere is exactly what you should want out of a mma gym. Would recommend.
Professor Eli is one of the most well respected and proficient martial artists in the city. Anyone looking to start training at a high level with trustworthy and brilliant instructors is lucky to have this gym around. Fun and welcoming for everyone!
I started my daughter in the children’s jiujitsu class when she was 6 and now at 8 I’m am so thankful for her learning and development that has come directly from the experience of being taught and mentored by Coach Bill. Not only does she learn an amazing self defense skill but also how to maintain her composure patience and perseverance. I cannot recommend having you child in these classes enough! They are 5 days a week from 4-6 in which you can choose how much are how little they go. This is hands down the best investment in my child’s growth as a young lady. I began my own jiujitsu journey 2 years ago and love learning from Coach Eli and Coach Bill. It is the hardest workout both mentally and physically. Imagine practicing mindfulness while you and your partner are trying to submit each other, what’s not to love. Again I cannot recommend this enough, not only for your child’s personal development but as well as your own.
Exceptional staff and services. This gym provides an adaptable environment that will suit your needs. Whether you're a learner who wants a soft introduction or a beast looking to go next level, there's an instructor for you here. If you want to get in shape, be productive, and have fun doing it; This is the place. They also have a sauna. Winners.
This is hands down one of the best gyms in Portland, I have trained around town at multiple academies and I think Alive has the best community and vibe. Every coach in every discipline is an expert and you can chose between world class Jiu Jitsu, Thai Boxing, American Boxing and Cross Fit. I literally can never get board training her. They have something for everyone the hardcore competitors to the weekend warriors and everything in between. I have never felt judged or pressured into doing anything I didn’t feel comfortable doing and have continued to show up and get better every class. 10/10 would recommend
