From the owner: Gracie United is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-focused martial arts training facility serving the Hammond /…read morePonchatoula area. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, most notably by applying joint-locks and chokes to defeat the opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective self-defense martial art in the world and is great for kids, teens, and women. Our facility offers a large variety of programs. Though our main focus on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we also offer classes in mixed martial arts with instruction from UFC, Strikeforce, and Bellator veterans. Visit our website for more information!

I've been to many gyms in my 12 years living in New Orleans. This one is the best by far. It's…read moremore of a experience than a gym. They have a bar, a library, pool, ballroom, racketball, pickle ball court, and a half court basketball set up. On of the gym areas with the track above as originally a full court basketball area. That is my one complaint, for if that was still there this would be the best gym I've ever been to. Rumor has it the Lakers once scrimmage there. They have a cold plunge ice bath, I also wish they had a real cold dip, like they do at Oshner Harahan. The sauna is huge, and so is the steam room. Marble showers, this place is truly unique. It takes a while to get a hang of where everything is, there's so many different places to work out. Classes are rad, I've done hard body and boot camp so far lead by Tony. Who is this man BTW. Me and my wife pay 70 bucks each, which is a phenomenal deal! I'm gonna spend all summer here. Highly recommend this establishment!

From the second you walk in, it feels like old-school charm meets modern-day motivation. The building itself is gorgeous -- think chandeliers, brick walls, and history dripping from every dumbbell. The weight room? Massive. The cardio section? Plenty of options. The pool? Stunning and feels like something Gatsby would've done laps in. And don't even get me started on the boxing ring -- I half-expected to see Rocky training in the corner. There's even a Turkish bath. Yes, a Turkish bath -- where else are you gonna find that? The people were super friendly, and there was this kind of unspoken camaraderie in the air -- everyone's working hard but also vibing with the beauty of the space. I got a killer workout and a mini history tour all in one. If you're in New Orleans and want to sweat in style -- this is the spot. 10/10 will be back (probably sore but smiling).
