Shreveport Jiu-Jitsu: Archimedes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review – More Than Just a Gym, It's a Second Home Archimedes Jiu-Jitsu is the real deal—not just a place to train, but a second home where everyone feels like family. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with open arms, and the camaraderie on the mats is unmatched. Chris is an excellent instructor, coach, and mentor. His knowledge, patience, and ability to break things down make every class both challenging and rewarding. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grappler, you’ll constantly improve under his guidance. If I could train here more, I absolutely would. The energy, the people, and the instruction make this place something special. If you're looking for a gym that pushes you while making you feel at home, this is it. Highly recommend!"

"Chris Velez is one of the best coaches around in Jiu Jitsu, he is really patient with new students and have a ton of technical knowledge in his art. I drive about 1 hour on Saturdays just to get some knowledge and technique. He will definitely and happily assist you if you have questions. Also the gym is very friendly, like a family. Visit them!"
