What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
James Cumpelik
"We flew in from Germany for a seminar with our daughter. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and handshakes. Both owners showed us around and were open to any questions. The mat space is high quality and clean. The more people showed up and the mat slowly filled you could tell the gym had a great atmosphere. The training was great and the black belts actually teach the kids' class, which is not always common. Would definitely come again."
Brandon O'Sullivan
"I recently visited New Orleans to catch up with a friend I was stationed with in the Coast Guard and decided to bring my gi and get in some training. The Jiu-Jitsu academy we visited was incredibly welcoming and had a fantastic positive energy. The professors were not only skilled but also very friendly and supportive. Both my friend and I had an absolute blast training there. I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in New Orleans. Highly recommended!"

"Amazing coaches and kids. My son has level 1 autism and low muscle tone, the coaches here took their time and developed a passion I never thought we would see."
David Gibson
"Dropped in at Science of Jiu Jitsu and had a great time. Everyone was very welcoming. Got in some very high level rolls with the crew here. Sat around and talked about jiu jitsu for an hour after class. Such an amazing community here. The facility is top notch. Plenty of mat space, clean, great sound system, changing rooms and places to sit. Drop in and get you a killer shirt!"
