“Just wanted to update! I started training at Excelsior in 2018 and 7 years later and over a thousand hours on the mats, I love these people more than ever....... Having trained at a half dozen martial arts gyms over the last 23 years and visiting many others, I can say with out reservation that Excelsior Jiu-Jitsu and the Lott family provide the most effective, professional, family friendly, cost effective training that I have ever seen. A lot of places do some of these things well but very few do all of them and even fewer care about their students as much as the Lott's do. Whether you want to gain confidence, learn self defense, or just get in really great shape I highly recommend you give Excelsior Jiu-Jitsu a try.”

“My 15 yr old son has been going to Excelsior Jiujitsu for over a year now. He loves it so much! He has gained a lot of confidence since going to this gym. He has gotten a lot stronger, has far better balance and is more flexible. He had been going to occupational physical therapy for years and there was no end in sight — til he started going to this gym several times a week. What they have done for him is AMAZING!!! Professor Nate is extremely knowledgeable, very kind & encouraging, and very helpful. His whole family is just like him too! The people at this gym are all like family. It’s somewhere my son loves to be!! I am forever grateful to Professor Nate and his team!!”

“This gym was my home for 4 and a half years. I love the people here and I honestly felt closer to them than some of my own family. I trained here from white belt to purple belt and it was some of the best years of my life. I would highly recommend this gym if you're in the Zachary area. Whether it's for self defense, fitness, or if you kid just has to much energy at the end of the day. Excelsior Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the place to be and Professor Nathan Lott is an amazing teacher!”

“I train at an associated academy in Baton Rouge and have dropped in on some weekend classes at Excelsior. Professor Lott was very welcoming and encourages me to come back to train whenever I can make it. The students there are wonderful. They were accepting of me and I learned something from every person that I rolled with. The academy is spacious and clean. It is a great environment to learn and to improve yourself.”
