Bayou Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense 70815

“I was in Baton Rouge for a Conference and messaged Professor Bellard about doing a drop-in. He replied right away and gave me all the information to attend. I attended the afternoon class and was so impressed and comfortable, I attended the morning class the next day. The instructors were very professional and the mats were very clean. I now have a place to train when I travel to Baton Rouge. Thank you Bayou Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense.”

“This is our home away from home! My husband, myself, and my oldest daughter all train here. We have trained at other gyms before, and this is by far one of the best atmospheres we have found. Professor Kevin is an excellent teacher and knows his Jiu Jitsu very well. The other people we have met at the gym have been very friendly and welcoming. It has been very good for our health, as well as taught our daughter some very important values. We couldn't imagine training anywhere else!”

“I would like to share my experience with this place. Day 1 when I signed up Peygan told me that I have to sign a 6 months contract and if for any reason I cannot continue we can sit and talk about it. I hurt my ankle after 4 months and asked them to give me time to recover but they pulled the contact at me and said I have to pay no matter what. I explained my health situation multiple times but Professor Kevin did not listen at all and I received these text massages (attached). This is while they clearly knew where I am from because they asked me day 1 and still insulted me. If you would like to be insulted because of where you are from and hear racist remarks (like attached), this is a perfect place to be!”

“I referred a friend to Bayou Jiu Jitsu for self defense lessons. They have a great reputation for personalized lessons and pacing classes to fit each students. Owner Kevin Bellard was trained by the Gracie family so what you're taught is only one degree away from the expert training of Ralph Gracie.”

“I visited this gym a couple times during their open mat sundays during my stay in Baton Rouge. Best decision I made! The gym itself is clean and spacious with a warm up area, the staff is very friendly and well equipped for minor injuries. As a small person, I felt quite safe rolling with folks of any size there! Great techniques, and it was awesome getting to roll with prof Kevin and learning a few things from everyone in general. Would highly recommend!”
