Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu of Shreveport

"We signed our son up last August and since then his grades have improved from getting D's and F's to honor roll. I later joined because I saw how much it did for him. I joined in December and in just four months lost 40lbs and have seen a dramatic improvement in my own lifestyle. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Great instructors and a family like atmosphere."

"I signed my son up almost a year ago and this has been by far the most productive sport! I have seen an improvement in my son's coping skills, discipline, and overall confidence. The instructors are amazing, they love like a family and teach great instruction. My son has always been into trying new sports and RCJ Machado Jiu Jitsu has won over even baseball!! He never wants to miss a class. He is even enthusiastic about working out. We love it there and I am so thankful for their help in making my son who he is becoming today!"

"Fantastic school and instructors. Our son has tried out several sports and nothing has grabbed his attention like JiuJitsu. I believe a lot of that is due to the excellent instructors at RCJ Machado. He wants to go class and learn new things and better his craft, something that RCJ instills in the students. It's not just about being better at JiuJitsu, it's about being a better person. The instructors have the patience to deal with many kids at once and still earn the respect of the students with the perfect balance of instruction and silly fun. The school is a wonderful place of learning and camaraderie. It wont take long to feel like part of the family at RCJ JiuJitsu."

"I have two grandsons and two other family members that are taking this class. Danny and Jodi and the rest of the crew do an excellent job at teaching the kids martial arts but also discipline, respect (for others as well as for themselves), and self-esteem. My grandsons school work has improved as well as their actions at home. I would definitely recommend this class for children and adults."
