why canebrake lab?

At Canebrake Lab, we approach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu like a science.

Every technique has a purpose. Every position has a solution. Every student follows a path toward improvement.

Our mission is to help develop confidence, discipline, fitness and practical self-defense skills through passion driven instruction and a positive training environment. We believe jiu jitsu is not meant to be copied - it’s meant to be adapted.

Whether your goal is competition, self-defense, weight loss or simply trying something new, you’ll find a place here.

Jiu Jitsu has been a huge part of Caleb’s life for over 10 years. What started as a way to challenge himself, BJJ quickly became a passion that shaped who he is both on and off the mats.

Currently holding the rank of Purple Belt and actively competing at both local tournaments and IBJJF events. One of the highlights of his journey was competing at the IBJJF Masters World Championships, testing his skills against athletes from around the world.

While he enjoys competing, his greatest passion is helping others discover what Jiu Jitsu can do for them. Having seen firsthand how this sport builds confidence, discipline, resilience and lifelong friendships. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, competition, or simply trying something new, he believes Jiu Jitsu has something to offer everyone.

Canebrake Lab was built around the idea that great Jiu Jitsu should be accessible to everyone. Coach Caleb’s goal is to create a welcoming, family-oriented environment where beginners feel comfortable from day one and experienced students have the tools they need to continue growing.

At the end of the day, he is just a student of the art who loves sharing it with others. Caleb is committed to growing the Jiu Jitsu community here in Vermilion parish and helping every person who walks through our doors become a little better than they were yesterday.

Coach looks forward to meeting you on the mats.
