March 7th, 2012Alliance Jiu Jitsu Boise WINS BIG!!!
March 7th, 2012Last weekend our some of our Team traveled to Salt Lake City, UT to compete in NAGA SLC. It was the first time NAGA had ever been held in UT, usually it is held in bigger cities like Las Vegas, Atlanta and New York. Our Team took 14 competitors to this competition. I am proud to report that 13/14 competitors medaled. We took home many gold medals and tons of other silver and bronzes…. We are very proud of all of our Team and we know that we wouldn’t be on top if it wasn’t for our quality training partners at the Academy. On a more personal note, it was nice to see all of my old friends from the grappling community. I was able to see Rob Handley, John Carlquist, Shawn Weaver, Richard Cesena and many others. I am often reminded that we all love the same sport, even though we are on different teams.

Professor Coats coaches in the UFC!!!
January 24th, 2012
Professor Coats had the pleasure of being called for the Mike Pyle fight camp. Mike was preparing for UFC 142 in Brazil. Professor Coats was the Jiu Jitsu Coach for the 7 week camp which was held in Las Vegas at Randy Couture’s gym. Along with coaching, Coats was also a training partner for Pyle.
Professor Coats got his ticket and whole trip paid for by Pyle’s sponsors, being able to travel to Brazil with the fighter and help him with his last week of prep for the fight. It was an amazing experience from start to finish.
Pyle fought Ricardo Funch, the fight was televised on FX and pay per view. Mike Pyle scored a first round 1:22 TKO in the first round!!! Pyle was the only American to win on the UFC 142 Brazil fight card.
Professor Coats was truly honored to be able to coach such a high level athlete and help him get the “W” in Brazil. Great Job Mike Pyle!!!

Our Academy was very lucky to have Master Alexandre Paiva conduct a 2 hour seminar that was geared towards the basics. Alliance Jiu Jitsu of Boise has a big student base so it was necessary to have a seminar for our beginners, open to Men and Women. Our Phase 1 class is designed for the 0-6 month student. The curriculum is basic and broken down into 25 lessons. The seminar on the 11th was designed to help the student grasp the fundamentals meanwhile showing some options to common positions. It was sold out!

Alliance Boise travels to Brazil!
November 6th, 2011
11 students and Professor Coats from Team Alliance Jiu Jitsu of Boise traveled to Brazil this summer to train and compete in Rio De Janeiro. They traveled to make the pilgrimidge that all Jiu Jitsu efficianados should make at least once in their lifetime.
Through Professor Coats’ vast contacts in Brazil he was able to make this a wonderful experience for his students to learn about the origins of Jiu Jitsu and be immersed in the culture that is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. All of the students were able to train with countless black belts and World Champions, training 3 times a day with Master Alexandre”Gigi”Paiva in his Academy. The Boise crew was even granted access to have a personal class every day at 10am with Master Paiva showing details that would help them in competitions… This was a very special and rare opportunity that not many have have access to. Professor Coats blazed the trail years ago and his students got to study Jiu Jitsu at the source.
At the end of the trip 6 competitors from Alliance Boise fought in the Masters World Championships. 3 competitors took home the Silver medal. This is almost unheard of, for foreigners to medal in Brazil… It speaks volumes to their training and dedication.
Good Job Team Alliance of Boise!!!
