From the reviews
I don't usually write reviews, but this place deserves one. A bit of background so you know where this review is coming from: I am not financially involved with this place, and I pay the regular fee for my kids to train at Louisiana Judo.
The instructors here are so knowledgeable and are willing to help absolutely anyone. For just a small price a month you really can do so much! I love how I am welcome to go anytime and just jump in a class or lift some weights. Louisiana Judo is truly the best of the best.
I joined this place for 7 months, and I can only say that I made friends here for a lifetime and learned so much. Coaches here treat you like family and work with you one on one most of the time, which u don't find in any other gym Will definitely be back, and this gym will always be in my heart
What an amazing atmosphere!!! Great classes, clean establishment and a variety of services! Judo, Muay Thai, MMA, Cardio kickboxing, self-defense, weight area, cardio machines and a full size boxing ring!
New to muay thai? Start at Louisiana Judo. Louisiana Muay Thai
Louisiana Judo. Louisiana Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Louisiana Judo. Louisiana Muay Thai
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.
