New Orleans Jiu-Jitsu

New Orleans Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the oldest and largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in New Orleans. With over 12 black belts at four locations throughout the metro area, we are home to over 300 students locally and host to innumerable visitors from around the world.

The School had its humble beginnings during the late 90’s as a small group of Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts who gathered in a friend’s garage to exchange “rolls” and grappling knowledge. Following the flooding, as a result of Hurricane Katrina, Professors Matthias Meister  moved the school to its flagship location on Magazine Street. They adopted the “X”, marked by search and rescue crews on hurricane-ravaged properties, as the school’s logo: emblematic not only of survival, but the community’s resilience and power to persevere amidst the circumstances.
