What’s your motivation for training today? 🥋👇

For some, it's about learning self-defense. For others, it’s the community, the fitness, or a daily escape. For many of us at Bayou Jiu Jitsu, the patch says it all: Jiu-Jitsu Saved My Life.

No matter what drives you to step onto the mats, we'll see you tonight in Baton Rouge. Let's get to work!

Decades of knowledge on one mat. 🥋🔥

A few weeks ago, our very own Professor Lance officially earned his Judo black belt! We had an incredible lineup of high-level black belts in attendance for his test, and this picture perfectly captures the strength and support of the Judo community behind him.

Having this level of instruction in-house means our students are learning the absolute best stand-up game possible.

If you want to learn how to dominate on your feet, come check out our Judo program! Drop a 👏 in the comments to congratulate him!

Our ladies had an absolute blast at the recent Girls in Gis event. We learned a ton and loved getting to share the mat with so many other women! 🙌❤

the next time you guys come through Louisiana, let us know. We'd love to host again!

Had a great turnout for our annual 4th of July Party at the Farm! 🙌 So grateful for this community we've built at our academy!

Congratulations to our Student of the Week in Baton Rouge! Jordan is 9 years old and his favorite submission is a Choke. Keep up the good work! 👏👏🙌

'Walking into a martial arts gym at 40 was intimidating, but this place immediately felt like home. The coaches are incredible, the environment is welcoming, and it's the best stress relief I've ever found after a long day at the office.'

This is what it’s all about. 🙌

Our culture is everything to us. We pride ourselves on having an ego-free mat where complete beginners and seasoned competitors can train safely together.
