From the reviews
Love this Academy very traditional Jiu Jitsu. Mike and the team welcome new comers with open arms and share their Jiu Jitsu technique wholeheartedly. There's a place for everyone at this academy, Mike and all practitioners are open to answering questions and assisting everyone one on one.
My son has been attending Bossier Jiu Jitsu for a little over 2 years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He started when he was just 3, and now at 5 years old, he’s gained so much confidence, discipline, and focus—all while having fun and learning valuable skills.
I've been training BJJ for 12+ years now and this is easily one of the best gym I've ever trained at. One of the friendliest, welcoming, all around positive environments you will ever have the opportunity to be part of.
Been training here since 2018, my son and I started out doing jiu Jitsu. Then we started attending the Muay Thai and kickboxing classes along with no-gi jiu jitsu. Whatever form of training you’re looking for, they have it here, or if you’re just looking to get into shape; Coach Mike has got you !!
New to BJJ? Start at Bossier Jiu-Jitsu: Louisiana Black Belt Academy
Bossier Jiu-Jitsu: Louisiana Black Belt Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Bossier Jiu-Jitsu: Louisiana Black Belt Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
