I started training here as a blue belt and can say since that I have been here training under John and Julian for a little over a year. My game has changed dramatically. I feel more confident and motivated in my training and skill. These guys will take the time to train you and get you ready to achieve whatever your goals may be.

Iā€™m thankful to be apart of this gym, itā€™s exactly what I needed. Thereā€™s a lot of good gyms around, but this one is perfect for strictly Jiu-Jistu and No Gi grappling. Itā€™s a very welcoming place thatā€™s great for beginners and experienced guys and girls. Being in the heart of Lafayette makes it even better! Excited to see this team grow!

I was in my wifeā€™s hometown for a wedding and needed to get a roll in. I called these guys to see if I could join in for open matā€¦their response was ā€˜donā€™t stink, trim your nails and be coolā€™. Instantly I knew I was going to have a great time. Got multiple beat downs, learned some really cool stuff and got to meet some great people. This is a six star review.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling/submission/self-defense martial art that primarily focuses on ground fighting.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.
