Foundry is the first place I trained in the DMV after moving from New York and training at Renzo Gracie’s academy there. The instruction is first class, and better yet the environment is incredibly supportive/welcoming which has made training as I’ve gotten older so much easier to keep coming back to. Noel and his family treat all the students like their family, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Joining the Foundry has by far been one of the best decisions of my life. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner. All of the instructors are absolutely amazing and really care about progressing every individual that walks through the door. I look forward to each training session not only for learning and progression, but because of the atmosphere and people that make it so great. If you live in the area or are visiting the DMV you should definitely drop in!

My experience at The Foundry has been wonderful. The Foundry not only has the the best coaching team but also has friendly, encouraging, and supportive fellow friends.

Also, one of the biggest advantages is that The Foundrey has morning, lunch, and evening classes, with each classes taught by the top noche coaches. I am always excited to go to the Foundry.

I started my kids here less then a year ago and they have learned so much in the few months.  All the coaches are exceptional and very knowledgeable.  The journey my kids have gone through is just a beginning and can't wait to see them grow and develop.

I've been training at The Foundry Jiu Jitsu  in Maryland for nearly two years, and it's been an incredible journey. The instructors here are knowledgeable, passionate, and truly invested in helping each student reach their full potential in all levels, (as a high ranking BJJ competitor or simply as a hobbyist). Their guidance has been instrumental in my development as a Brazilian jiu jitsu hobbyist. The Foundry's culture is one of its greatest strengths. It's a supportive, friendly, and drama-free environment where everyone is focused on supporting each other to improve. I'm blessed to  have made new friends and lifelong training partners here. The facility itself is always very clean and well-maintained, which creates a great and safe atmosphere for learning and training. I also appreciate the balance of challenging classes and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. If you're looking for a quality Jiu Jitsu academy with top-notch instruction, a supportive community, and a clean safe training environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Foundry Jiu Jitsu.

My time at The Foundry was a tremendously wonderful experience. The coaching team is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and goes beyond to solidify technique to all students. Fellow students are encouraging, positive, and supportive. I truly cherished my experience there and would recommend this gym to anyone in the area, from someone looking to start BJJ to an experienced practitioner.

Joining the Foundry family is one of the best commitments of time you can make for yourself (and your children). From the moment you walk in you will realize this is not some “typical martial arts business” but something far more special.


It’s an incredible group of people from all walks of life pushing their potential under the best instruction around. The founder (Noel), is truly an amazing teacher and person. He leads a stable of highly decorated instructors who actively compete in tournaments across the nation. Yet, despite their competitive success, they are all humble, encouraging and patient; ensuring that even a beginner can acquire skills from their proven talent.


I have referred several friends and even enrolled my young son along with me, as they truly care about every student’s development and tailor classes to every skill level and age. I see myself making Foundry/ Alliance a commitment for many many years to come.

The atmosphere and instruction is top notch. All the instructors are active high level competitors who now how teach the basics as well as the more modern advanced BJJ techniques. Each instructor is friendly, personable and willing answer questions and help in any way they can.


The students enhance the training environment. I take classes in the morning and afternoon and each class is filled with friendly personalities who are also willing to take time help other students regardless of their level.


The atmosphere that has been fostered at the Alliance Md location is like a family. I would not train anywhere else!

Nicholas Roy

Joining Alliance Jiu Jitsu at The Foundry was a decision that completely altered the trajectory of my life and well-being. After a long time in the field of athletics, nothing compares to the environment created by the world class instructors and coaches here. Truly in a class of their own. My wife and I train almost everyday and look forward to any and all mat time. If you are on the fence about BJJ, make the right decision and start your journey at The Foundry.
