Best places: Martial arts schools in Louisiana

👍👍 One of the best decisions I've ever made was walking in the doors of Gracie Barra Moss Bluff/Lake Charles. It has completely changed my life for the better. The changes are dramatic both in my physical well being and health and also in the way I deal with day to day stress and anxiety. The staff is...

👍👍 Gladiator’s is outstanding. Instructors Josh and Jules are masters of the arts and great communicative teachers. The student practitioners are great people. The arts are rewarding, challenging, and will supplement your life outside of the mats.

👍👍 Let me start off by saying I’ve been in the fitness industry and doing martial arts combined for about 15 years. With that I have never seen such amazing customer service, community driven, and such a structured facility like the Core UFC Gym here off of Sherwood. The staff and coach’s here are down...

👍👍 Our son took martial arts here for three years, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The staff really worked to connect with him and help him grow not only in his martial arts skills, but in his character and confidence too. They consistently balanced encouraging him as well as cha...

👍👍 My son loves it here. The staff is so friendly and they called my son by name the first class. I am sure they focus on that but it made us feel at home.

👍👍 If you've ever thought about starting jiu-jitsu or wanted to try out a new gym, then this is the place to be. I can't imagine training anywhere else. I started with zero experience and everybody has welcomed me with open arms(and then they would slowly close it around my neck forcing me to tap). It...

👍👍 Our family 100% recommend West Louisiana Jujutsu Training Academy for any family or individuals. Our girls started back in 2018 and with the sensi's guidance my girls had developed strong discipline, confidence, self respect and respect for others. Sensi's communication and discipline teaching struc...

👍👍 Really love and appreciate this class. The instructors are awesome and have really worked with my son in helping him build his confidence. Mr. Cloonan has a genuine love for each of the students and it shows in each class. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to enroll their children in...

👍👍 Both of my girls have been a part of the ATA family for 8 years. Both are ranked in the top 10 in the world bc of the instructors leadership. Originally started bc my oldest has sensory issues and walked on her toes till she was 10 years old. We have made many friends and my kids love the other kids...

👍👍 Next Level Martial Arts truly lives up to its name. Mr. Nathan is amazing and goes above and beyond. He and his staff have surpassed my expectations. My son has been going to Next Level for 3 months and I already see positive changes in his behavior, improvement with confidence, and more self dis...

👍👍 KarateUSA stands out as a premier martial arts facility in Shreveport, LA. My son has been gaining a wealth of techniques to bolster his self-defense skills and MMA. The comprehensive program offers a blend of physical conditioning and valuable lessons, nurturing his self-esteem and fostering person...

😠 Recently I had a terrible experience at The newly opened ‘Spa & Lifestyle Store’ at Cross Gates Family Fitness at the Military Road location. I’ve a cross gates gym family membership for all 3 locations so of course, I signed up for the VIP promotion for the Spa which is advertised at $49.99/ month...

👍👍 5 stars is not high enough for this gym. The coaches and students were so welcoming, I felt like I had been training there for years. It is by far the cleanest facility I have ever trained at with beautiful changerooms, bathrooms, and showers. I visited for an intermediate class and all the students...

👍👍 We enrolled our son at Acadiana Karate in an attempt to help him gain confidence and learn to control his anxiety. As parents we want to give our children the best opportunities to support their growth, both mentally and physically, and Acadiana Karate has done just that. Their program is so much mo...

👍👍 Best gym in Baton Rouge hands down, Professor Kevin has built a great gym culture where anyone can be comfortable and feel safe training. Kevin’s BJJ knowledge is world class and all of the assistant instructors at Bayou are top notch and bring a variety of different styles and skill sets to their t...

👍👍 I have been training with Champagne's Martial Arts Academy for more than 15 years now. I have gone through their Karate Program as a child and young adult, receiving my Black Belt from Sensei John, and now train in the adult Jiu-Jitsu class. John and Monica Champagne have mentored and motivated me f...

👍👍 Yonsei is an amazing school. The instructors are fantastic and really care about their students. The class schedule is very flexible so that it is easy to get to classes, which I greatly appreciate! I have two boys who have been enrolled in this school for three years. They have both learned foc...
