Gracie United Leesville

Gracie United Leesville at 1506 S 5th St #5300 in Leesville, LA brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training to local families, teens, and adults with a clear emphasis on structured martial arts development. The academy’s program lineup gives students several ways to get started and keep progressing, including Kids Gi BJJ (5-8), Kids No Gi BJJ (5-8), Teens / Adults Gi BJJ, and Teens / Adults No Gi BJJ. That mix makes the school accessible to beginners who want a friendly introduction to grappling, while also giving experienced practitioners room to sharpen their technique in both gi and no-gi formats. As a martial arts school, it serves students who want more than a workout; the training environment is built around skill-building, discipline, and practical progression on the mats.

Instruction is led by Rick Below, giving the academy a clear coaching identity that students can follow as they advance through the ranks. The belt ranks offered support long-term development, which is especially valuable for families looking for a consistent place to train year after year. Younger students can build coordination, confidence, and mat awareness in age-appropriate classes, while teens and adults can choose the gi or no-gi path that best fits their goals. That flexibility is a strong advantage in a community setting like Leesville, where many people want a single academy that can serve different ages, experience levels, and training preferences without requiring a complicated schedule.

The academy’s connection to the Champion Factory network is reflected in its straightforward, practical approach to martial arts education. For local students, that means a training environment centered on repetition, fundamentals, and steady improvement rather than flash. A school like this is especially appealing to new students who want clear guidance, as well as seasoned grapplers who value a focused room and a program structure that respects the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The combination of kids’ classes and adult classes also makes it easier for families to train under one roof, turning practice time into a routine that fits into everyday life.
