Maximiliano Cantu

Patrick Redington
"Stopped here tonight while on a work trip. Did an MMA class and some BJJ rolling after. WOW! Such a great team and great experience! You are doing yourself a disservice not going and training with this team! Alot of knowledge and so welcoming!"
Christian McCorkel
"I've had the pleasure of training at Black List, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The owner, Derrick, is an outstanding instructor who embodies humility and genuinely welcomes practitioners of all belt levels. He even encourages his students to attend events and open mats outside of Black List, fostering a well-rounded and inclusive training environment. The gym boasts a friendly and supportive culture. Every class I've attended is filled with individuals eager to learn and higher belts always willing to help those of lower ranks who may be struggling with a technique. This nurturing atmosphere ensures that no one feels left behind, and everyone progresses together. My time at Black List has been transformative. I have been consistently challenged, pushing me to grow and improve. Being a part of this gym has positively impacted my life in numerous ways. Whether you're looking for a new hobby, wanting to enhance your self-defense skills, seeking a sense of community, or simply aiming to be more active, this is the place for you. The classes are unparalleled and will undoubtedly leave you feeling accomplished and empowered."

"My kids will definitely become students when they are old enough! We couldn’t ask for a better Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the Houma area. Derrick Breaux and Blacklist ensures we are successful inside and outside of the gym. Great group, great family environment, and actively participates in supporting the community."
