From the reviews
I signed my son up almost a year ago and this has been by far the most productive sport! I have seen an improvement in my son's coping skills, discipline, and overall confidence. The instructors are amazing, they love like a family and teach great instruction.
Fantastic school and instructors. Our son has tried out several sports and nothing has grabbed his attention like JiuJitsu. I believe a lot of that is due to the excellent instructors at RCJ Machado. He wants to go class and learn new things and better his craft, something that RCJ instills in the students.
This has been by far the best activity my son has done. Both of my boys attend classes and they love it. Not only do they get to learn jiujitsu from talented instructors, but they also learn about respect, courtesy, and responsibility.
My son just started here at the end of summer(2019). He's never really been into sports, but he loves his Tuesday/Thursday class. He's learning some great discipline that comes with his study and the staff is excellent. They take time with each student during the classes.
Your first muay thai class at Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu of Shreveport
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
