Elite Youth Program

At Kajun Martial Arts a good majority of our students fall into the category we call our Youth Program. In this age bracket, and in martial arts school industry standards suggest a lull in the age group from 9 - 14 years old due.  The fact that many martial arts schools don't have a large enrollment is proof they are not doing something correctly.

Why do we soar above the rest breaking records everywhere?

We attribute this to our high energy, exciting, fun yet realistic classes, bringing some of the best instruction in the world to our schools. Each one of our teachers  (Sabunim) are put through a rigorous training course. Teaching them how to become some of the best coaches in the world.

• Outstanding coaching from some of the top Black Belt instructors in the world, personally trained by Master Ryan Blanchard.
• Proven performance strategies developed by Master Ryan and Andrea Blanchard, and concepts by master coaches such as Tony Robbins, Depak Chopra, Brian Tracy and many more.
• Unstoppable achievement through specialized planning, and consistent measuring, monitoring and feedback.
• Rigorous accountability: Your instructor will become a friend, mentor and coach who wants and expects the best from you -and who will challenge you to perform at your very best.

that your destiny is shaped"

Trey Roussel - Age 16 - Prairieville, La

When Trey started training with Mr. Ryan Blanchard, about 8 years ago, I was concerned he may not stick with it but he could not wait until the next class.  In all this time I don't ever recall him asking to miss a class.  This program has taught him self control, co-ordination, and all about setting goals and achieving them. We are very proud of our son and I'm sure he will continue in the program for years to come.  Thanks Ryan and instructors!  Monica Roussel

Our program is well rounded touching on all the things that a person of this age could want to hear and see. Reality is our motto. We leave each student walking away with the three S's theory. Sweating, Smiling and Striving for more. This metaphor was coined many years ago by one of the best martial arts motivators and we have been using it ever since with outstanding results! 

Each student will gain the edge in life and grab onto the personal power, which has guided 1000's of our students to become masters of their lives. Each student will learn the emotions and behaviors that drive them and how they can manage their minds and bodies to achieve greater success than they ever dreamed of.

Self Defense is a skill you would be led to believe is universal in all martial arts. The simple definition of martial arts - means military arts, teaching a person how to defend one’s self, family and country. The sad reality of this is that many martial arts schools are not teaching realistic self defense for the 21st century. We have trained people from all walks of life, but many of our students stem from  everyday people such as mothers, fathers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, construction workers and law enforcement. At last count we have approximately 30 law enforcement agents training in our all of our locations. We pride ourselves on the fact that we teaching a proven and effective self defense system that young people can use if ever needed.

Last year, my 10yr old son, Cla, was getting bullied a lot at school.  It came to the point where he didn't want to go to school and his grades started to reflect this.  His self-esteem was so low and I found that he was unable to control his anger.  Everyone told me to put him in some kind of martial arts program.  I called around, but as soon as I spoke to Dr. West at Kajun Martial Arts I knew he was more interested in my son's well being than my money.  After just 3 months of lessons, I am amazed with the changes I have seen in Cla.  He now has a higher self-esteem, he has learned how to handle situations without getting angry, he listens better at home, and I see him always trying to do his best at everything.  This to me is priceless.  KMA has provided everything I needed for Cla.
