Martial Arts Schools near Lafayette

“Mr. Schilz and his classes are the absolute best! I do the kickboxing class and the boot camp and I love that not only do I get a great workout out of them, but I also really appreciate how friendly the atmosphere is. While other martial arts classes can feel really intimidating, his classes are so welcoming, and you can go with whatever level of intensity works for you. This is the first time I am consistently working out after having a baby and I’m so grateful I found this studio.“

“Glad our friends suggested to we at least try the free class. Our boys ages 5 and 8 instantly gained more confidence and wanted to try again. We are now into our second week and both boys have been very excited and engaged with the instructor. Our 8 year old has made it a goal to gain a black belt, has tried to succeed and excel in his class. Glad we found a place like this where the instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly and great at teaching.“

“Amazing people at this gym. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. Make you feel at home right away.“

“I’ve been going here for a few months as a complete beginner to combat arts, and it’s been a great experience! The coaches are wonderful, personal, and will spend 1 on 1 time with you to help you develop the skills you need.“

“I've been taking my son here for a long while now and I must say they are really great at what they do to teach my son and his peers the fundamentals of boxing and martial arts and their overall well-being both mentally and physically.“

“Love this martial arts school! Awesome instructors, my kids are learning and progressing so much!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Professor Jubera and his school. I feel safe and accepted. The curriculum is excellent. Professor Jubera is patient and dedicated to his craft, as well as his students. The other black belts are just as caring and dedicated as he is. I tried other schools around Denver and found myself going back to Jubera time and time again. I have so much respect for him. Can’t recommend enough.“

“We train people in Sambo, jiujitsu, MMA and Soviet inspired strength training with multiple full weight rooms.“

“Our daughter loves CTI! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about each student’s growth. They do an amazing job building confidence, discipline, and respect while still making classes fun and engaging. It has been very encouraging to watch the progress and confidence our child has gained since joining. We highly recommend CTI to any family looking for a positive, supportive environment!“

“So I have dropped in to some open mats, trained ranoris and taken classes with this group. I have always felt welcome, safe, learned something and had fun. An extra shout out to Coach Eric for always being so supportive, willing to break down things and complimentary also“

“My son has been attending this place for nearly 2 years by now. We absolutely love it! He enjoys it each class and always wants to come back. Owners create family atmosphere and care for kids. They teach them respect, responsibility, how to be organized in addition to physical skills. Thank you!“

“I am very happy that everyone is so warm and welcoming! It’s a real community. That’s a treasure. Plus the Aikido classes themselves are very inspiring. I look forward to every class.“

“I had my son’s 9th birthday party at Peak Martial Arts and I am SO PLEASED with the way it turned out. Our time was nicely spaced out and nothing felt rushed. From shooting basketballs and playing arcade games to an epic nerf war (the dads even jumped in!), everyone had a great time! My son had such a great time we are looking at the after school program. Customer service and communication was fantastic and the price was right. We will be supporting this local family owned business as much as we can…. And, most importantly, all these kids (and dads!) will sleep good tonight!“

“Our family had a wonderful experience training with Sensei David and Regev. Two of our children trained under their guidance, and even our youngest – still just a baby – loved being around the energy and excitement of the dojo!
What stood out to us most is how Sensei David has this remarkable ability to balance authority and warmth. He’s firm when he needs to be, but always in a loving and respectful way that makes the children feel supported and confident. His great sense of humor keeps everyone engaged and smiling, even during tough drills.
Both of our kids have grown in focus, confidence, and self-awareness through his teaching. My husband and I have also appreciated the way Sensei David naturally weaves in life lessons about discipline, respect, and resilience — things that go far beyond martial arts.
We truly enjoyed every session and highly recommend this school to any family looking for meaningful, high-quality martial arts instruction in a supportive environment.“

“My son and I walked into Zingano BJJ 6 years ago. He had expressed interest in martial arts and I wanted to learn more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We both signed up and started training.The kids coaches did a great job of keeping the kids attention and making the class fun and safe. The more that my son trained the more I saw his training influence other aspects of his life. He was more focused, more considerate and worked harder at the other things that he enjoys doing. 6 years later his training still gives him an edge. He does great in school and at football and I believe that this is due to the discipline and training he has received at Zingano’s. He continues to train and compete.The coaches and curriculum at Zinganos are top notch as is the facility. Everyone there is committed to learning and improving each other’s knowledge of BJJ. We train hard and everyone has a great time doing so. I cannot recommend Zingano Brazillan Jiu Jitsu enough if you and or your family is looking for a place to train.“

“We love everything about this place, it is great for us as homeschooling parents, this is his gym, teachers are awesome!“

“Master Kim is an inspiration to my just the students. It the parents as well. He teaches confidencs, respect, and kindness along with the traditional tae kwon do practice. Our family will always be grateful to his influence on our son.“

“This place is awesome!! The instructors know what they are talking about. They are patient with my self and daughter. I feel healthier and stronger.i like it here!!“

“I’ve watched my first two children blossom here - my stepson is a teen now and about to test for brown belt, and it has given him so much confidence and athleticism. My daughter has been going since age 4 and is now 7, and this is her only consistent activity over the years. I see the skills she has learned translating into other seasonal sports and activities, as well as increasing her ability to make friends and try new things like biking and rock climbing without fear. The private lessons have forged bonds between her and her training partners that I can tell will be lifelong. My husband and I just started training last year too and we love it! We drive over half an hour because we love this place so much. I highly recommend this place for children and adults alike.“

“Excellent self defense training. A must for every woman! Highly recommend this instruction.“

“I went to this place for a tournament yesterday and it was really fun, I don't train here but it seems fun to be able to train at this gym ?“

“Studied Tai chi here and also have been treated with herbs and acupuncture! Fantastic results! Thank you!“

“My family started practicing karate at PPMA back in November 2020, and I joined several weeks after that. It's a good family activity and Sensei Bill is great about adapting the class to all students in attendance. I also appreciate that we can arrange to do Zoom classes if we can't make it to the studio. I highly recommend this place!“
