Micah Taunton
"Great family environment and qualified instructors. Professor Ricky has dramatically improved my BJJ. If you are looking for a jiu jitsu gym with a champion instructor, this is where you should train."
Kasey Carter
"Such an awesome training environment. They make you feel welcome and have quality instructors. Definitely worth checking out!"
Jody Kotski
"Fantastic Adult and Childrens BJJ instruction in the Leesville area. Head instructor Rick is approachable and forthright. One of the biggest strengths he brings to the classes is not just the knowledge of techniques as much as the ability to explain and transmit that knowledge to students of varying backgrounds and ages easily and effectively. One of the things that separates this school from others is the wide range of experience and backgrounds each member brings to the table, offering a very well rounded learning environment. The school promotes a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, especially if new to BJJ or martial arts in general. A Team Jucao South affiliate, there are schools that welcome you if traveling all across Louisana, Mississipi and Alabama."
