What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brianna A Perry
"We are so grateful to have found Fight to Win Jiu Jitsu in Broussard, LA! My son has attended classes for almost a year now with Coach Marshall, learning self defense and gaining confidence with the methods taught. He even got the chance to meet Royce Gracie himself, which was an honor. Since day one we have been welcomed as family. Very clean and comfortable environment for children and adults!"
Cory Thornhill
"Fight to win is an incredible place. The training that is taught is topnotch. The owners treat you as family and pour their knowledge into you. My daughter has been going here for over 2 years and she loves it. She looks forward into going to class and does not want to miss a single class. The Fight to win family has been a positive influence on my daughter and I thank them for everything they have done for my family. We will continue our journey with the Fight to win family and I strongly suggest that you bring your family and get on the mats."
Cheryl Richard
"I brought my boys for a free trial to see how they’d like it, and from day one, I was impressed. The owners were welcoming, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do and they went above and beyond to work with me so we could start right away. Now, my boys absolutely love going to class. They’ve already made friends, and I can see how much they’re enjoying and benefiting from the experience. I’m excited to see them grow, not just in their jiu-jitsu skills but also in confidence, discipline, and teamwork. If you’re looking for a place where your kids can thrive and be supported, I highly recommend Royce Gracie Academy of Broussard. Thank you for making us feel like part of the family!"
Jacie Ray
"The owners are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, they’ve always made me feel like family, always encouraging when I need it most, they remind me to be confident and to never doubt myself. Marshall is an amazing instructor, he teaches in a way that I’ve been able to apply my techniques with much more ease. Even when I don’t show up, him and his wife make sure check in on me from time to time. I’ve honestly never experienced the kind of love they give, and I’ve learned so much from this program. Anyone who ever asks about where to train, I always point them to this school, knowing that they will get the same experience as I have."
