Alliance Jiu Jitsu Arkansas

Alliance Jiu Jitsu Arkansas is led by Professor Lindsey Clyburn, a first-degree black belt under Romero “Jacare” Cavalcanti of Alliance Jiu Jitsu with over 28 years on the mats and two decades of teaching experience. Lindsey’s martial arts background also includes a fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo and training in Krav Maga, Kali, Hapkido, and Judo. Her diverse experience shapes the academy’s approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, rooted firmly in Alliance’s gi-based tradition and emphasizing technical proficiency and disciplined progression. Classes at the Maumelle location focus on structured gi training across multiple age groups. The academy offers kids’ classes starting as young as three years old, progressing through youth programs designed to build fundamentals and confidence. Adult students can choose from fundamental classes led by Lindsey to advanced sessions taught by Parker Clyburn, another black belt instructor on staff. Open-level adult classes provide a steady environment for ongoing development, while private lessons accommodate individualized instruction tailored to specific goals or skill levels. Training happens in a wheelchair-accessible facility at 1900 Club Manor Drive, currently a temporary location until a new academy is built. The schedule includes regular group classes as well as private sessions available throughout the week, ensuring flexibility for different training needs. Alliance Jiu Jitsu Arkansas maintains a focus on the traditional gi curriculum, fostering skill growth within the Alliance lineage while also welcoming drop-in students to experience their programs firsthand.
