#1 Best Women's Jiu Jitsu in the Lake Charles Area

About Our Women's Jiu Jitsu Program at Olympic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

While women are encouraged to attend any of our adult classes, we also have dedicated classes and content, exclusively for women. It focuses on self-defense for smaller individuals facing larger attackers, reaching fitness goals, and training with like-minded women.  It’s more than just fitness and self-defense – it’s a community of women helping women!

Our black belt instructors use their exceptional teaching skills in a safe environment to help our amazing students of all skill levels grow their problem-solving skills and understanding of BJJ in every jiu-jitsu class. We have the premiere women’s program in the greater Lake Charles, LA area, from Lake Charles proper to Moss Bluff and Sulphur.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the Most Practical Self-Defense Skill for the Lake Charles Area

It is the best martial art for women to learn self-defense because it does not require a lot of physical power. It focuses on situational awareness and truly effective techniques that can be used by practitioners of all levels of physical strength, regardless of their size or gender.

BJJ for Fitness in the Lake Charles Area

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is an excellent form of self-defense and fitness for women because it focuses on technique and leverage rather than relying on physical strength. This allows women of all sizes and physical abilities to effectively defend themselves in dangerous situations. Additionally, it promotes mental toughness, discipline, and overall well-being, making it a holistic approach to women’s fitness and self-care.

With BJJ, you won’t even need to go to a regular fitness training center – this is the only fitness activity you need, as you’ll be burning up to 1,000 calories a day. You’ll supplement or replace your current fitness training by training just Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!

BJJ Provides Community for Lake Charles Women

Jiu Jitsu provides a strong sense of community for women by offering a supportive and empowering environment where every single student comes together to learn self-defense techniques, build confidence and stay fit. The camaraderie and encouragement within the family at Olympic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps women feel a sense of belonging, positive encouragement and unity, creating a welcoming atmosphere where they can push themselves to achieve their personal best while lifting each other up along the way.

Women from all around the Lake Charles Area have discovered the special group of ladies we have helping each other grow in the art and they’ve developed lasting relationships in the process. Come see firsthand what’s so special and join our team!

Olympic opened my eyes to how an awesome bjj gym should be ran. The curriculum, the camaraderie, and atmosphere is unmatched! I’ve been training for almost 4 years at Olympic and it’s brought me a new passion of bjj, life long friends, and even my husband. Would recommend anyone of any age to join!

The environment is amazing and the coaches are great, very knowledgeable and patient. They can work easily with any person of any skill level, breaking down techniques to make them easier to understand. They are amazing with the kids and the kids fall in love with jiujitsu, I believe because of the coaches. The very first day is always a little intimidating but the coaches and everyone make it comfortable to be there for adults or kids. My son and I love Olympic Brazilian jiujitsu.

This had been our home away from home the last 6 years. This is hands down the best jiu jitsu gym you will come across in your travels. Everyone is down to Earth, super welcoming, and there is no judgement. Everyone there, even the upper belts, is there to learn and grow; there's always more to learn. They are extremely female friendly and provide a comfortable and safe atmosphere for beginners and experienced grapplers. However, be sure to check your ego at the door, or we'll check it for you. It truly is a family atmosphere there where everyone is looking out for each other and helps each other out. I cannot say enough good things about this gym and the coach, Professor Tyler. He lives to share his joy and passion for the sport and in doing so, has created an excellent place to train.

Olympic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has provided me with all that could be asked of an Academy. They have fundamental classes, classes for kids, women's only class and even a weekly competition class. It would be difficult to find another environment that is as structured for everyone's growth and success than Olympic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I was in town for business and stopped by to train and I’m glad I did. The guest instructor Bryan was super friendly and inviting (as were all the students), the upper belts take their time to help you with techniques and don’t just smash you. The gym and mats are super clean and well maintained. Good rolls, highly recommended!!

My kiddos started going here in November and they absolutely love it! Everyone from the coaches to the kiddos in class are amazing! Both my kiddos are brand new to jiu jitsu, and I love that they actually take the time to make sure the y understand each move/position and explain how/when to use it.

My daughter has been going here since August 2021, and she has loved it. The coaches & professors are AMAZING with helping the children learn new techniques, making sure they are able to master the moves and helping if needed. If the children are having trouble learning they are quick to help. It is more like a family than a weekly class, and I am so glad that my daughter and I are apart of it!!

Olympic BJJ has multiple training partners at every belt rank from white to black. The training rounds are solid and the upper belts are very helpful, so whether you want hard training rounds or just want to take it easy there is a spot for you.

I cannot say enough about the positive affects that this gym has had on myself and my daughter. Professor Tyler and the other coaches present a very welcoming and team oriented atmosphere. My daughter loves attending the kids classes on MWF. They encourage everyone to work hard, have fun and become great training partners. I attend the adult classes and the same encouragement is displayed. I have become more confident, formed great relationships, lost weight, been taught to push myself physically and mentally in a way that I never thought was possible, and all the while learning superb jiu jitsu.

Really enthusiastic atmosphere, but serious about the art. This isn't daycare. Its getting sweaty on the mat and learning the discipline needed for everything in life. No one gets talked down to and every one there is cheering on your progress. One of the best places to be.
