Patricia bonner
"As the mother of a child who experienced "BULLYING", all I would think about how this could impact my son's life. I immediately went on a search and came upon GLADIATORS ACADEMY OF BREAUX BRIDGE (3 MINUTE DRIVE FOR ME). I called Coach Jared and told him the situation and all i wanted was my son to BE RESPECTED, BUILD UP SELF-ESTEEM, MOTIVATION, and BOLDNESS WITH CONFIDENCE. Emmanuel GOT IT ALL. He was quickly adopted/adapted to a new family of GLADIATIORS WITH A GREAT LEADER. He earned the nickname "BIG E" on the first day. I would recommend this to any one with a child to help with WILL POWER, CONTROL, and POSITIVITY. My son is a GLADIATOR FOR LIFE. When my child would get sick, you bet encouraging emails came in from the coach. I post this review with wishing this company a prosperous growth for leading our kids. Thank you Coach Jared and Staff for making my BIG E, A BIG MAN WITH HEART. He has moves and routines that he will continue to practice with his older brothers and teach his nephews. GREAT PEOPLE. Please let your kids get this experience. This is my BIG E"
Caitlin Guidry
"Our son has grown so much under the guidance of the coaches at Gladiator Academy. We highly recommend them if you’re looking for a healthy outlet for your kids that will boost their confidence, grow their self-esteem, and refine their skills in self-control and discipline. Your child won’t just learn ju jitsu at Gladiator Academy - they’ll also learn foundational life skills that will help them navigate their way through the world."
