Solflo is a great jiu jitsu academy. Clean facility, great instruction, great people (both teachers, and students).

If you're looking for a great place to learn Jiu jitsu, this the place. The people are welcoming and tough. You'll learn Jiu-Jitsu with a group of people who will make you better while making it fun.

I've been training here for a couple of years and I've been impressed from the beginning with the quality of instruction. It's obvious that the owners, Ryan and Erica Walden, take a lot of pride in the quality of the programs at the school that they founded. In addition to being excellent teachers, they are both strong competitors and they regularly bring insights from their competition experience into the classes.
This is also a very supportive environment in which all of the students, especially the upper belts, help each other improve our skills in jiu jitsu techniques and do better in competitions

My name is Rory Barrett, I have trained at SOLFLO Jiu-jitsu for the past 5 1/2 years. A friend of mine had started training at SOLFLO and recommended that I try Jiu-jitsu as they had nice facilities including changing rooms, men's and women's bathrooms, clean mats and great instruction. Jennifer and I still train together at SOLFLO today!
Prior to joining SOLFLO I had done Kenpo karate for about 5 years and I weighed 177 lbs., I was 43 years old and I thought that I was fit! After about 2 years of Jiu-jitsu I weighed 162 lbs. and had built up enough fitness to go to SOLFLO 4-5 times a week, also

Professor Ryan and Coach Erica Walden provide excellent training and bring their lessons and experience into their classes. This is a great facility to begin or continue your Jiu-Jitsu journey whether you're young or old alike.

This is a great facility, where I have chosen to continue my Jiu-Jitsu journey. I am grateful to call Professor Ryan and Coach Erica Walden part of my BJJ Family. This is a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, which creates a fantastic Jiu-Jitsu community.

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics of BJJ at Solflo. I showed up having only taken one class prior and the team took care of me totally (providing a gi and answering questions constantly). Everyone is very friendly and the instruction is clear and fun. I enjoyed the 'core' and 'womens' classes immensely. The community is very welcoming and I learned a lot in a short period of time while I was visiting Louisville. I recommend classes here and I will definately be popping in again the next time I visit. Thank you Solflo BJJ 🙏

Excellent Jiu Jitsu school to start your journey or continue. The vibe and atmosphere in the gym is great, it creates an environment for cool people to train with cool people. Their kids program is huge. Doing both gi and nogi. It's more than a school, its a family.

Solflo BJJ is more than a gym. It's my church. The instructions are top notch, and the people treat you with respect. I highly recommend training with professor Ryan Walden. You won't regret it.

SolFlo is a fantastic place to train. And they are constantly looking for ways to improve with things like drills classes and, recently, fantastic videos to help prep for class.

This is a wonderful place for children and adults to learn self defense and discipline. Prof. Ryan and Coach Erica are the best!

Ryan is one of the best coaches I have ever trained with I would highly recommend this school

This is a very welcoming gym. Everything is clean and everyone is extremely nice. Great place for the whole family. Professor Ryan is a great professor who is always willing to share his jiu jitsu. There all always great rolls here and the people have no egos.

Had to have surgery to clean up an injury and had multiple people offer me rides to and from any appointment I had including Professor Ryan. This place is a family not just a gym. Come check it out you're not gonna leave!!

I’ve trained at a handful of studios in a couple different states and only made it 6 months tops before quitting. Whether it was a combative approach to teaching, drama within the school, or injury, there were always factors that began making me question if I was looking for something that didn’t exist in a martial arts school - or if I just didn’t have what it took to be a practitioner of BJJ. My desire was there, but a studio with the right fit seemed to elude me.
Then I walked into SolFlo…
Coach Erica Walden spent almost an hour on the phone with me listening to the challenges I’ve

I couldn't be happier with what I'm learning at RFLX. I'm 38 and before joining I had never done any contact sports or martial arts (except for a few karate classes as a kid) so I didn't know what to expect. The classes are highly structured and they focus on repetition and getting the technical details right which great for a beginner like me. Each week has a theme so if you can go multiple times a week you get to really learn each technique.
They also make great use of technology - sending videos before each week so you know what to expect. They progress you slowly and in a measured way, keeping

I've been training at RFLX for 8 months now. Prior to coming here, I had trained for 2 years out of state.

First off, Professor Ryan and his coaches are truly dedicated to Jiu Jitsu but, more importantly, to teaching. I have been impressed with the clear curriculum that emphasizes fundamentals and concepts. All the coaches align their teaching each week to Ryan's curriculum so that as a student you know what topic you're learning regardless of when you attend classes. Ryan even sends a weekly email with the curriculum being covered and videos of him teaching; you can preview before

Incredible for all ages and abilities. I have had my son test the waters in several martial arts and this training center is far and above anything we've experienced. Whether you are a serious MMA athlete or youth beginner class - you will be challenged. The owner is technical, knowledgeable and personable. I could write paragraphs on the changes it has made in my little boy's life. It's the hidden gem of Lafayette that is quickly gaining a following of parents who want real emotional/physical/mental positive changes in their children.
