Mushin Training Center

Mushin is an incredible place to train. I’m consistently inconsistent with my training but when I dialed in the focus, I was able to lose 30 pounds just learning Jiu-​Jitsu. Didn’t even change up my diet. The trainers here are all top notch with an extremely personable BJJ black belt giving great instruction for all things grappling. He’ll give his attention to anyone regardless of path or experience. But it’s not just the instructors, everyone that attends here in very nice and welcoming. Unlike other book-​learning schools (like Universities), you always feel like you get your money’s worth here. Just about every class leaves you crazy fatigued and gives you that huge rush of endorphins. You usually have to pay good money for that kind of thing. But at Mushin they’re practically giving it away for free. It’s bananas. Love it.

Nice facility, super nice staff. Went here for a self defense training class and they were really helpful and I learned a lot.

My 6 year old son loves it here at Mushin. He was reluctant at first but after the first boxing class he was good to go. The instructors are great with the kids and I would recommend it to anyone. I couldn’t be more pleased.

In my five and a half years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I have had the pleasure of training at many of the top gyms in the country and abroad. I have trained under an ADCC champion regularly, multi-​time IBJJF pan-​american as well as worlds champions, and other world renowned grapplers. That being said, grappling skills and teaching skills are rarely equal in an instructor. Collin, Mushin’s head Jiu Jitsu instructor, embodies this balance better than any grappler I have learned from. Not only is his technique efficient and crushing, but his curriculum and teaching skills are razor sharp. What many teachers lack in communication skills, Collin excels in. My favorite things about his classes are that he emphasizes the principles behind the techniques he is teaching. Several times, these principles, greater than their manifestations, have allowed me to successfully improvise in sparring when my sweep or submission did not go as planned and still achieve the desired outcome. Another thing I like about his classes are that there is no wasted time; I feel that each drill and technique we do is relevant to improving my grappling.

I’ve been going to Mushin for the past 8 months and I have loved every second of it! I was very new to kickboxing, and I’ve improved so much and gotten a lot stronger. The classes are a great size, super intense in a good way, and taught by extremely talented and qualified instructors. The whole staff is awesome, including the front desk and membership employees. They always greet you with a smile. It’s a home away from home.

I love Mushin! The staff is awesome. I didn’t have much kickboxing experience when I started, but all of the instructors were really helpful and encouraging. So don’t be intimidated if you’ve never done this before. Classes are intense, but it’s absolutely worth it! I’ve been training here for about 4 months, and I already feel so much stronger and more coordinated. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone!

Awesome gym, feels like home. Everyone here is super friendly and knows what they’re talking about. Collin, the black belt BJJ instructor, has an amazing sense for putting things in an understandable manner and helping with situational awareness and is an overall awesome teacher. Jon’s boxing and kickboxing classes are perfect for pushing you without being overbearing, while teaching you great striking and boxing techniques. Myron’s combat athletics and street defense combine a great working knowledge of practical fight, cardio, and muscle building workouts. And Duke has a phenomenal cross train fitness workout to push you to you limits overall. Definitely worth a try, you’ll definitely wanna come back.

Best stand up and ground game in New Orleans bar none. You want the best? Show up at MUSHIN and you’ll have it. Great prices too.

Can’t say enough about the professionalism and dedication the staff demonstrates in helping you achieve your goal. I spoke to the owner Al about my overweight son and my concern due to mindless stone style class instructors in the past. He suggested I come check the gym out that evening, which we did. We met with Myron who spoke extensively with me and my son and all but assured results.
Long story short; all of the trainers my son has dealt with so far take the time and effort to make sure that training is effective, done properly, and individualized. The reinforcement is positive and encouraging which motivates my son to keep up the effort. He loves going.
P. S. The weight is flying off. He lost10lbs in the first 2 weeks. –Great Gym/​Great Staff!

Outstanding gym. I love it here. I go mostly for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. and you won’t find a better BJJ or grappling instructor anywhere. But the folks who teach Kickboxing, MMA, Wrestling, Self-​defense, and Fitness are all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive coaches. They’ve kept me in great shape and given me self-​confidence that is more than worth the investment. And most importantly for me, it’s fun. Very thankful to have found this gym.
