Acadiana Jiu Jitsu

Acadiana Jiu Jitsu in Scott, Louisiana, builds its program around a clear, structured curriculum designed for lifelong progression in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. The academy offers age-specific tracks starting as early as preschool (ages 3–5), with classes for kids, teens, and adults. Students advance from foundational skills to more advanced techniques, with separate gi and no-gi classes for adults beginning at age 16. The teaching approach emphasizes realistic, practical self-defense and life skills, aiming to help members apply lessons from the mat to everyday challenges. Professor Heath Henry leads the instruction, drawing on over a decade of experience as a BJJ Revolution Team black belt under Tim Credeur and Josh Artigue. His background includes both competitive grappling and coaching, having served as head coach for the Acadiana High School Wrestling Program and producing state-level podium athletes. Alongside Coach Clayton Hebert, a BJJ Revolution Team purple belt and experienced MMA practitioner, and several other coaches, the staff is committed to preserving the integrity of their lineage while providing a positive, accountable training environment. Beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the schedule features programs in Muay Thai kickboxing for both kids and adults, a beginner-friendly MMA 101 class, and a dedicated women’s BJJ and self-defense program. The academy also hosts Yardbird Yoga classes for adults. With wheelchair accessibility and a focus on serving the greater Acadiana area, the school remains rooted in its mission to make martial arts accessible for all ages and experience levels.
