Martial Arts Schools in Baton Rouge

“I was brand new to jiu-jitsu when I joined Modern JJ and honestly couldn’t have picked a better spot. Training here has been a total game changer. Coach Josh and the team explain things in a way that’s super easy to follow and always make sure you understand why you’re doing a move, not just the steps. Classes are well-structured but still a lot of fun, and the gym itself is really clean and comfortable. If you want serious BJJ with a family vibe, this is the place.“

“AMFA has been great for my sons, both for the physical activity and the discipline their program fosters.“

“My 15 yr old son joined at the beginning of this year. He absolutely loves it. The instructors are so personal and encouraging. They focus on all the different arts but also help with self discipline and building character. My son is learning so much! The students learn from the instructors but also from each other (all different ranks working together). This place is fabulous! And it doesnt smell like feet. So thats a win. Especially for those of us to like to watch from time to time. ? We love it! You guys are awesome!“

“My little nephew has been attending for 3 years and absolutely loves it here. Great establishment. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Kimm's Institute of Self-Defense is a wonderful place to go. My son loves everything about it. The masters, Gerard, Eric, and Will, are amazing instructors and human beings. Their families are a big part of the school. Kimm's has a sense of family when you walk into the door. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a great place to be.“

“The Best Class to learn Self Defense! The instructors are incredible! You learn so much in 1 class! I've been doing this for around 2 years and I haven't disliked any part of it!“

“Absolutely great teacher and great person. He uses a whole student approach to better their technique, their self defense, awareness, and helps guide the kids with a strong ethical foundation. When not teaching technique, he talks about school, bullies, kindness, education, respecting parents and all the other aspects that go into being a martial artist. He has been a positive influence during our son's development and it's clear he truly cares about the quality of his teachings and the students.“
