From the reviews
Momentum Jiu Jitsu is such a great experience for my son. Elton and Angie are just phenomenal. They treat each child like their own. They offer just the right amount of discipline along with just the right amount of respect. My son looks forward to each class. All of the students really work well with each other.
Andrew loves going to class and feels that he is learning a lot. We are extremely satisfied with Momentum Jiu Jitsu.
Elton Tootle has been a highly respected BJJ black belt for years in Houma, and I was ecstatic when Elton informed me that he was opening his own school. As expected, Elton's Momentum Jiu Jitsu offers safe, respectful, and professional-level martial arts training and instruction to kids and adults in the Houma area.
If you're looking for a place for you or your child to train Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in the Houma area, I highly recommend this facility. Having spent thousands of hours on the mat with these guys, I can personally attest that the instructors at Momentum are 100% legit.
New to BJJ? Start at Momentum Jiu Jitsu
Momentum Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Momentum Jiu Jitsu
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.
