What Our Students Say

Jason Contreras
"I'm in Lafayette from Houston. I came to this Jiu-Jitsu school to attend an open mat. This place has very nice and talented peeps. I felt welcomed right away and I was able to get some incredible rolls in. This is a five-star Jiu-Jitsu joint. I will return when I'm back in Lafayette. Be Jiu-Jitsu, Thank you all for having me."

"Best Jiu Jitsu gym I’ve ever trained at & I’ve had the privilege (& misfortune) of training at many. They put customers first, they don’t behave like a cult, and they teach both modern and traditional styles of Jiu Jitsu at a world class level. Great beginners & advanced programs. My favorite thing is on Tuesday’s and Thursdays they have opening training where you drill whatever you’re working on before opening up for sparring the second half. If your focus is learning grappling, there is no better spot."
Eka putri
"I can’t say enough good things about this place. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and respected. The facility is clean, organized, and well-maintained – mats are sanitized regularly, and the overall vibe is positive and focused. The instructors are incredible – professional, skilled, and truly passionate about teaching. They take time to break down techniques clearly, and they support every student no matter the level. Whether you’re a beginner just learning the basics or more advanced and training for competition, the coaches will push you to grow. Come and check out."
Chase Munn
"I was in my wife’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 mat…their response was ‘don’t stink, trim your nails and be cool’. 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."
