Martial Arts in Baton Rouge
AMP BJJ Baton Rouge brings the AMP family martial arts model to Louisiana — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on Perkins Road for preschoolers, kids, teens, adults, and parents training with their kids in the same class.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the martial art most parents pick in Baton Rouge.
When parents look for martial arts classes for kids in Baton Rouge, they're usually choosing between karate, taekwondo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). BJJ is the modern grappling-based martial art that's grown the fastest with families — and for good reason.
Unlike striking-based martial arts, BJJ teaches kids how to defend themselves without throwing or taking punches. It's a thinking martial art — closer to a live chess match than a sparring drill — and it scales from a 3-year-old in our Preschool class all the way up to parents in our Adult class.
- No striking, no head trauma — kids learn to solve problems on the ground, not throw punches.
- Real self-defense that actually works against a bigger person — based on leverage, not size.
- Builds focus, confidence, and respect in every class through our Winning Ways character curriculum.
- Parents can train the exact same martial art alongside their kids in our Family Class.
- Recommended by pediatricians and parents for kids with ADHD, autism, or extra energy to burn.
