Thank you for letting me drop in while visiting Arlington. Great facility, solid instruction, friendly atmosphere. Look forward to returning to your mats wheb I visit. I got to roll with THREE women black belts in 1 night. What a bonus!

Reviews
My son Goku is Autistic. Was nonverbal until 6 or 7 years old. he is now going on 10 and has been a part of Alvarez BJJ for a year. They changed his life for the better. He went from a shy kid with huge sensory issues, to hitting those mats like any other kid. He attended his 1st tournament and laughed and smiled the whole time, even after losing his match. He was so proud of himself I cried. We thought he would never lead a normal life, but now he has something he loves. ABJJ brought out a side of Goku we have never seen. He looks forward to his classes and loves to tell us how much fun he has. The staff here is so encouraging and never once tried to give up on him. They all take their time to teach him in ways he understands until he can keep up. They never get frustrated that they have to step aside with him at times. He recently got a belt promotion and is now a Grey belt. I have never seen him smile so hard than that day. Thank you to all the staff at Alavarez. Thank you for believing in him like we do. It is rare to find a place as accepting as yours.
Great bjj gym, everyone was super friendly and loved the atmosphere. Got some fantastic rolls in, hard working gym for sure!!!
