Erick is an excellent teacher of Brazilian Jiu jitsu with countless hours of training, teaching, and competition experience. Runs class smoothly and helps breakdown techniques.

World class instruction from a world class guy! Whether you’re a competitor, hobbyist, or anything in between, Professor Erick will get the best out of you.

Erick Raposo is a great coach. It's been a privilege to have him guide my development in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and to introduce my daughter to the martial art. I know he will create an environment here where everyone will grow and develop.

Amazing jiu jitsu and awesome vibe! Can’t recommend professor Raposo enough!

Erick is a very personable, high-level instructor. He has a gift for breaking down the missing pieces to the puzzle for any style of Jiu jitsu and the atmosphere of his classes is very welcoming!

There are very few gyms in the US that can say the head instructor is a world class jiujitsu athlete, moreover one who is currently ranked #1 in his weight class for IBJJF.... And you have him in Slidell, LA... which is crazy! The facility is super nice and kept very clean, great atmosphere, and Professor Raposo is one of the nicest human beings on the planet. You will be very hard pressed to find one person with anything bad to say about him. If you are anywhere within a 45 minute drive of his gym, this is a no brainer, you need to be going here.

Erick is not only one of the top ranked blackbelts in the world but an incredible coach. No matter your Jiu Jitsu experience he can help you reach your goals wether that's winning gold medals or just having fun training. Do yourself and your family a favor by checking out his gym.

Very high level black belt that offers a positive environment that is welcoming to all.

Great place!!!

Whether a hobbyist or competitor, you cannot go wrong with training under Professor Raposo.

One of the best professors around! Professor Erick is an amazing teacher with years of experience teaching anyone from small children to older adults. He’s the most caring coach and leads by example. Slidell is lucky to be gaining him!! Highly recommend!

Aside from having an incredible amount of BJJ knowledge and a passion for teaching, Erick is on of the best people I have ever known. He truly cares for each person he trains in BJJ and does anything he can to ensure they have the tools they need to succeed in life. Slidell is gaining pillar of the community both on and off the mats.

Highest level of BJJ on the gulf coast.

Professor Erick is fantastic at taking complexed techniques & simplifying them in a way that is easy to learn. He is very personable and has created an atmosphere that feels more like a family than just an academy. I couldn’t recommend him and his school enough! You will not be disappointed!

A welcoming place where everyone is valued and accepted. Students, adults and children, are instructed by Prof. Erick Raposo and other very talented instructors.

You won't find a better coach. Whether you're looking to compete in tournaments, learn to protect yourself, or just have fun learning this incredible martial art, Erick Raposo can help you.

Level of instruction is unmatched!

I want to express my thoughts and opinions about Professor Erick Raposo. He is awesome!! Professor Erick Raposo has patience, provides advice, and guidance. His support and influence helps me excel in jiu jitsu on the mat and off the mat. Through motivation, enthusiasm, and excellent communication skills he elevates me to my highest jiu jitsu potential. I am almost 60 years old (not as sharp as the younger generation) so feel like this is not an easy task for him. He takes the time to understand my needs as a student. The depth of details, extra miles, smiles, and excitement I see in him says it all.….I am so grateful!!! My heart for jiu jitsu is full of happiness. I truly am one of the luckiest jiu jitsu students. Don’t miss out on a magical experience. Raposobjj is the best of the best!!!!!

Erick is a top quality person with a highly developed Jiu Jitsu skill set. Slidell is blessed to have someone of his caliber investing in the community!

Erick Raposo has some of the highest level Jiu jitsu and is hands down one of the most caring and passionate Professors.
