Really good gym for all levels. I train there with pros and ammys. My son trains there with me and the kids classes. The wrestling program has been a game changer for him. Nice clean, bright gym with good energy. Friday open mat JJ is ππΌ
This is an Incredible Gym. I came from Houston as a Purple Belt in Jiu Jitsu and I was really looking for the right gym and the right fit. A gym with quality instruction and training partners. But also a gym with camaraderie and no ego. I couldnt be happier man. Ive learned so much and made some great friends along the way. The owner and instructors are great, they are personable, respectful, and knowledgeable. All great guys. Id highly recommend this place. Even for kids, I love watching their classes before mine, they look like they are having alot of fun in those classes. Great to see this next generation enjoying martial arts.
My 10-year-old son absolutely loves being part of the Gladiators wrestling program! The coaches are patient, motivating, and truly care about each kidβs growth both on and off the mat. They teach discipline, respect, and teamwork in a fun, encouraging environment. Iβve noticed such a positive change in my sonβs confidence and focus since joining. He looks forward to every practice and comes home proud of what heβs learned. The sense of community here is amazing β everyone feels like family. I highly recommend Gladiators of Youngsville to any parent looking for a sport that builds strength, character, and confidence!
I've been attending Gladiators Youngsville since spring of 2022. When I started, I was 340 pounds, completely out of shape, and knew next to nothing. Three years later, I'm 215 pounds and a blue belt in BJJ, and also do MMA and striking classes. The coaches and staff are extremely knowledgeable and patient, and getting to know them personally and on the mats over the past few years, they've become like family. I now train 4-5 times a week and always look forward to class. I plan on getting my 2 year old daughter involved once she gets old enough. BJJ and MMA teach life skills, confidence, and physical strength paired with self control. Whether you have a kiddo that needs a new physical outlet that builds confidence, or you're an old out of shape person like I was, the culture here is extremely welcoming. We're all getting better together, iron sharpening iron. Can't recommend this place enough! Come talk to Coach Eric and Coach Abe!
My 12 year old son kaysen started there over two months ago and absolutely loves it . Both his coaches help him out if he is struggling! And all the other kids are so helpful and nice!
