Bayou Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

We hear it all the time: 'I’m going to start as soon as I get in a little better shape.' 🛑

Here is the truth: You don't need to be in shape to start Jiu-Jitsu. You start Jiu-Jitsu to get in shape.

Most of our adult students are everyday working professionals from right here in Baton Rouge and Central City. You don't need prior experience, and you don't need to run a marathon first. You just need to step through the doors. We will handle the rest.

Stop delaying. Message us to schedule your first class! 🥋

Congratulations to our student of the Week in Baton Rouge. Esa is 9 years old and his favorite submission is the Armbar. Keep up the good work! 🙌🥳💪

'Thank you. Really. This has been so good for my son. To see how his confidence has grown and the way he carries himself... I can’t thank you guys enough!'

We absolutely love hearing feedback like this!

Our ultimate goal at Bayou Jiu Jitsu isn't just to teach martial arts; it's to partner with parents to help build strong, confident, and respectful kids.

A huge thank you to all the families who trust us with their children's martial arts journey. If you're looking for a program that makes a real impact both on and off the mats, come see what we are all about.

Congratulations to our student of the Week in Baton Rouge. Elise is 11 years old and her favorite part of class is fight time. Keep up the good work! 🙌💪🥋

A complete grappler has to know how to stand up. 🌪️🥋

Just a reminder to our BJJ team: We have world-class Judo right here on our mats. If you're tired of pulling guard or feeling lost before the fight hits the ground, it's time to step into a Judo class.

Learn the grips, master the balance, and become dangerous on your feet.
