Alcides Aleman is a StrongFirst Certified SFG Level II Instructor, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, tenth grade English teacher, and brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Chris Might. He also holds a Master of Arts in Teaching. The focus of his programming and coaching is primarily minimalist and combat sport based, including Jiu-Jitsu, mixed martial arts, and football. Alcides is deeply invested in designing minimalist hardstyle programming for busy people that can’t seem to nail down time management, routine, discipline, or keep up in whatever recreational sport they are involved in. The money made from his coaching is used to buy books for his students to weaponize literacy in their academic and professional goals and ensure that his wrestlers and football players have the equipment needed to pursue their dreams.

As a Strength and Conditioning Specialist for Combat Sports, he coached Devhonte Johnson to become the 2021 IBJJF No-Gi Black Belt World Champion and to take third place at the IBJJF World Championship in 2022. He also coached Chloe McNally who took second place at the IBJJF Black Belt Pan American Championship, second place at Brazilian National Championship in 2022, and third place at the IBJJF World Championship in 2022.
