The staff here are awesome! My daughter was welcomed so warmly by everyone when she started. We’ve only been there a little while but it feels like much longer.

I cannot say better things about Acadiana jujitsu and staff! Waylon is 3 and very strong willed, he was struggling with following directions and just being still in general, the staff and coaches have help tremendously. After just 3 weeks we noticed a huge difference- he is a different child 2 months in. Yes, he’s still a 3 yr old rambunctious boy but, he has learned patience skill, self defense, and much more. We cannot say enough good things about “Jitsu”.

Hands down, best in Lafayette and surrounding areas. They are wonderful teachers and instructors. They genuinely care about their students. And their pricing is the best in town. 10/10 recommend. And their new building I'd spacious with a good mixture of girls and boys.

A little over 2 yrs. ago, I was looking for motivation to stay fit and a way to keep learning new things. As I was driving home, I passed Acadiana Jiu Jitsu and stopped in with a question. "At 72 yoa, am I too old to take classes?" Heath Henry, the owner and a black belt said,"no. Try a free class and see, it's fun." Well, 2 yrs later, 10 lbs lighter, and feeling healthier, I'm still rolling multiple times a week. I also have made a lot of younger new friends. Heath has just expanded to a new facility in the same shopping center and it's super nice. There's something for everyone: kids, teenagers and adult classes in jiu jitsu, yoga, and mixed martial arts. Yes, it's air conditioned and the instructors are excellent. Check it out.

I have had my children in several martial arts facilities in the area, Acadiana Jiu Jitsu is by far the best one yet. The coaches and staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The coaches have so much patience with the kids, and are strict enough when need be (in a good way). They also make classes fun for the kids. They have recently moved into a new facility, everything is fresh and new, spacious and inviting. We have been there for over 2 years and have zero regrets. Give them a shot, they are fantastic!

It is enjoyable watching the coaches teach the students how to handle different life experiences on the mat. I have seen my son learn to handle adversity in a safe and positive environment.

Coach Henry and his entire staff are the most attentive. They teach each kid no matter what level to be the best . I never see a sad or let down face in the class. Very aware of his students abilities. Made the right choice here !

Putting my son in Jiu Jitsu at Acadiana Jiu Jitsu was by far one of the best things I have done as a parent. I signed him up for the free class and signed him up right after that class. He has only been going for one month but I can already see positive changes in him. Not only do they teach Jiu Jitsu and self defense but they teach RESPECT. I am beyond grateful for the staff and coaches there. I 100% recommend you sign up for the free class and see for yourself how great it is!

My daughter started jujitsu 3 years ago, now she’s about to turn 8 and jujitsu has changed her life. All she talks about is jujitsu and that she wants to be a jujitsu instructor and own her own dojo. Her attitude is great and she takes pride in everything she does. She gets a lot of life lessons and structure and the love of competition from the instructors from Acadiana jujitsu, owner and jujitsu black belt Heath Henry has a way of teaching so the kids, teens and adults have fun and enjoy the craft that he teaches and loves. Heath and his instructors Clayton, Emma, Justin, they have made a place in Scott La. that any parent would love to bring there child. I loved watching and learning so much that I have just joined the adults class so I can learn and help my daughter and by joining, I feel better have lost weight and enjoy just getting in the gym with great ppl and just having fun. Jujitsu is a big part of my family’s life and at acadiana jujitsu they make you part of the family. If you are looking for your child to learn how to protect them selves get in shape learn and grow mind and body and just have tons of fun go meet heath and the other instructors at Acadiana jujitsu I guarantee you won’t regret it

It is really worth the money .. what we love most is that we get to watch what they learn every time we go .. an we like that they are really hard on school an respect.. my kid has learned so much in just a month ..

My son went for a free trial class the first of Sept of 2022-we signed up as soon as class was over and he has been there for almost a year now! Coach Health, his staff and the overall environment is AMAZING! We don't live close by, but I gladly make the drive for my son to have this experience! In the time he has been there I have seen a change in him that makes my heart happy! The time they take to instill not only skill but basic mental/emotional skill and showing how those intertwine with JuiJitsu is really great and seeing them actually understand and use that is amazing! Then seeing it put to the mat at competitions makes you so proud of them! If you're considering putting your child or yourself in Jiu Jitsu or any other service they provide-DO IT! You won't regret it!

My son absolutely loves taking ju jitsu here. We drive 40 mins (each way) to go to Acadiana Jiu Jitsu. In the beginning we had discussed going somewhere a little closer. But after going a few times and seeing how the coaches genuinely care about their students and helping them be the best they can be. We will definitely be sticking with them. Definitely the best group of coaches.

My son has been at Acadian Jiu Jitsu for a little over a year and I can't brag enough on Coach Heath, his team of coaches and the environment he creates. My kid has learned major life skills including patience, respect, kindness, understanding and problem-solving thinking. The icing on the cake is that he's won a few Jiu-Jitsu competitions and really loves the sport.

Y’all my child has autism and is ADHD. Tasks sometimes are hard for her to follow. Since she has started at Acadiana Jiu Jitsu when given directions she listens and follows. They have done wonders with my child in the 30 days she has gone so far. She is excited to go! Which is a big deal! I cannot thank the staff for what they do!

My little one has been taking classes at Acadiana Jiu Jitsu for a little over a month now, and we couldn't be more pleased! The coaches work so well with the kids, making class fun and engaging. I probably hear, "I'm so excited to go to jiu-jitsu!" about 20 times each week! The coaches are focused on safety, health, building confidence, and respect for self and others. I feel like my daughter will learn skills that will help in multiple facets of her life through this program. The environment is very supportive and encouraging-any time my daughter or myself have had questions Coach Heath and his team have made the time to help. I feel like all of the coaches genuinely care about their students and are dedicated to helping them reach their potential. I am so glad we found this studio!

We were in town working for a few months so me, my wife, and our 3 children signed up and we are so glad we found Acadiana Jiu Jitsu!!! They made us feel welcome instantly and made starting something new very easy. The coaches are amazing, coach Clayton and coach Emma are so good with the kids and I love when they teach the adults because they make it simple to remember while breaking down every small detail! I am so thankful for what this gym has given myself and my family in the time we were here, coach Heaths attributes are embeded in this amazing gym he has built and I think if you want to meet some great people and learn some valuable life skills this is THE spot to get it!!!Cannot recommend enough and will be back anytime we are in the area

Over they phone they broke down prices and availability, and even though I joined in in the middle of the week, they made sure I was understanding everything they explained and broke it down to where the teaching matched my learning pace!

Acadiana Jiu Jitsu is a great facility to train at. Heath has a wealth of knowledge to share with the community, from the beginner level to the most experienced. I dropped in at Acadiana and was welcomed like I was a part of the family. The facility was clean and had a large area with quality mats for training. I've had the opportunity to train at many gyms while traveling and Acadiana Jiu Jitsu is one of the best.
