Martial Arts Schools near Lafayette

“Modern up-to-date facilities with highly skilled coach and mentor to young men. Isaac Bertin!“

“I can confidently write that I’m in the best shape of my life after two years of Mr. Schilz’s kickboxing classes. It’s never the same workout twice as he has an endless supply of new combos. Each session ends with words of wisdom that seem to be exactly what I need to hear. My kids go to his Tae Kwon Do classes and it’s been transformational for them too. Mr. Schilz brings a consistent, grounded, caring energy. I’m grateful for his positive influence in me and my family’s lives.“

“Thumb up, my kiddo go to this place, he wants to go this place everyday if he can. Highly recommended. Good instructors good experience good environment. You should come, more exciting experience than attracting playground.“

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

“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.“

“Limitless is an awesome gym!The environment is welcoming and encouraging, no matter the skill level. Kru Ali is a professional, experienced, and skilled instructor, and the classes always have small enough numbers, allowing you to get personalized instruction, though you can always sign up for one-on-one lessons, which I highly recommend.Try out a class; you won't regret it!Edit to add: I've been training Muay Thai here for several months now and the other instructors are also awesome (shout out to Rachel and Mark). I really appreciate the inclusive and positive culture that the coaches work so hard to maintain, and I plan to be a longtime student here.“

“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've started Taekwondo classes since I was 7. Now, I am 16, and still excited and engaged to learn about many new possibilities and challenges yet to come. The instructors are welcoming, respectful and know how to work well with others. You learn a lot from these classes from personal values to physical aspects, ranging in many different skills and new things to learn. I can say that going to Colorado Taekwondo Institute classes, have changed my life, and made me meet so many nice people and friends. I totally recommend CTI classes for any new beginners!“

“Peak Martial Arts has been an amazing opportunity for my child to learn about self-confidence, discipline, team work and how to be a leader. We have been with Peak for over 3 years now - and not only have they provided martial arts - but they also offer summer camp Programs, day camps for Adams 12 no school days! My kid loves them all! The staff is exceptional and provides positive experiences and time with each kid! Thank you Peak for being amazing!“

“Great place for the whole family to improve discipline, fitness and confidence. The best I have ever attended. Teaches respect and humility not aggression.“

“Did my first self defense training class today and it was very informative and also super fun! Instructor clearly knows his stuff, I highly recommend!“

“The best place to learn martial arts with an instructor with a lot of experience in the field,highly recommend“

“I hadn’t done any martial arts since I was just a young kid. I decided to give it a try At 37. It can be intimidating walking into a gym with zero experience but I have to say I absolutely love this place! Very nice and welcoming culture, the instructors are great. also, I have two kids and it is definitely a family-friendly environment. Five out of five would recommend.“

“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 ?“

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

“This gym is amazing. The coach, Judo Dave, is incredibly inclusive, kind, and light hearted. If you’re just starting out wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu, this is a great place. Also Dave is a black belt and a literal wizard, so if you’re a higher belt trying to find a new place to train and learn, this is an awesome spot. Please check them out. Also they are clean and serious about hygiene on the mats.“

“Go there for karate, all the sensei’s are the best. Always understanding and pushing us to be the best“

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

“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.“

“This is a Shotokan style karate dojo.It's been almost two years since I started coming here.I am still taking care of my parents and their children.The main deciding factor for choosing this dojo and continuing to attend it is because I am very attracted to the personalities of Mr. and Mrs. Madani and their family, who have been running this dojo for over 30 years.“It begins with gratitude and ends with gratitude.”He maintains an excellent balance, not only in terms of etiquette, but also in both traditional and sports karate, along with his track record.Also, there is always good energy in this dojo.I was born in Japan during the Showa era, and I learned a little bit of traditional karate, which involved wiping the floor with a rag before and after practice.Having spent 25 years in Japan before moving to the United States, I feel that the etiquette and instruction at this dojo is on par with, or better than, that of Japan.My child, who has a Japanese mother and an American father, is growing both physically and mentally under the guidance of wonderful teachers.This is one of the few authentic dojos in America where you can enjoy Japanese martial arts.“

“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!“

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

“Great instruction! Their knowledge and experience is unmatched, they will take your training to the next level!“

“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!!“

“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“
