What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Jennifer Caspolich

"My son and I started training at this gym after transitioning from another academy, and we couldn’t be more grateful for how we’ve been welcomed. From day one, the professors, coaches, students, and entire community have treated us like family. The level of instruction is outstanding, and the environment is both challenging and supportive—exactly what we were looking for. It’s not just a gym—it’s truly been a blessing for both of us. My son is thriving, growing in confidence and skill, and I’ve found new motivation and camaraderie on the mats. We’re thankful to be part of a place that genuinely cares about its members, on and off the mat. If you’re looking for a gym with top-notch instruction and a strong, respectful culture, this is the place."

Ashlyn Schultz

"Brizilian Jui Jitus is such a great art to learn. My girls look forward to their weekly classes with the professors. The academy is clean and always has a welcoming environment. 10/10 recommendations Gracie United Slidell"

Paige Molinario

"10/10 recommend this place. We absolutely love it here, owned by 3 black belts. My daughter takes jiujitsu & kickboxing classes and looks forward to training Mon-Fri. Never ever wants to skip practice and wants to be early every time. She also competes in jiujitsu as well and they have truly taught her so much. I have rolled over there myself a couple of times and would love to train there more if time allowed. They have become like a second family to us. Their passion for teaching truly shows. Good people."

Dwayne Lewis

"Unbelievable family like atmosphere. The people here are amazing. Everybody truly wants to help each other get better. The coaches constantly walk the mats during drills and make sure each student understands the drills/techniques and the higher belts always make sure the lower belts get it when we train. I usually arrive about 20min before the adult session to stretch and the child’s class is usually in session. The coaches truly take their time to make sure the kids know what they are doing wrong and they actually take the time to help them. The stadium seating inside for the parents to sit and watch their child learn the art is huge bonus as well. The mats are always clean and the place is well kept. I cannot recommended this gym enough. They give you a week free to try it out. I highly recommend you get out your comfort zone and take them up on the offer. You will not regret it."
