This studio teaches the perfect combination of grit/resilience, self-respect, and growth mindset. Kids do hard things here and try hard because they are encouraged and supported. Since starting at this studio I have seen a tangible difference in my child's resilience, confidence, self-control, physical sense of balance, and overall physical strength, and school teachers noticed, too. The class lengths are the perfect amount of physical activity and focus for after school, the schedule is flexible, the price point is a steal, and I can even walk down to Kroger to grab milk while my kiddo is here. Best thing I've signed my kid up for.

UPDATED Review--…read more After a year away from Indianapolis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I decided to give the revised format for initiating new students a try. And I have to say it made a huge difference in my experience. Last year I tried Indy BJJ and wound up with a bruised rib and feeling pretty lousy for a couple weeks while that healed. Prof. Eldred reached out to me earlier this year to let me know that they'd changed how they introduce new students to the system and invited me back when I was ready. In the interim, I trained heavily at Title Boxing in Glendale. Getting into much better shape there was probably a good start for this. The new system for initiating first-time students helps a lot, too. And this system brought back the missing stars from my previous review. The new system starts first with private instruction with Prof Eldred before joining a group class. That way when you get tossed into the group class, you're not totally at a loss as to what's being discussed. It doesn't mean the first class won't be confusing, it just means that you won't be going in totally blind. It really helped me to have more confidence. Grappling is one of my least favorite things. If, God forbid, I were ever in a real fight, I'd much prefer to rely on my boxing background. That said, BJJ is a proven defense system employed everywhere from police to military to combat sports. And it's a great work out that tests some very different muscles from boxing. So I feel like it's worth trying to learn. But it's intimidating as all get out! Those private primer classes directly from Prof. Eldred really took the sting off in jumping into group classes. If you're looking for a BJJ school that focuses on self-defense and has a rock-solid lineage back to the Gracies, this would be the right fit for you. I'll probably never be a good grappler, or even really enjoy it. But I've got some faith that under this school's tutelage, I'll at least be sufficient enough to have an idea of what I'm doing if I were ever in a grappling situation.

I signed up and I've been to three classes and while my technique isn't perfect I've learned almost a dozen movements and have a basic understanding of the transitions. Whether you've done martial arts or haven't this is the perfect dojo and instructor to get started or start again. If the junior instructors are any indication of the teaching then you'll see why I signed up for three months in advance. Hope to see you in class soon.

You'll learn practical self defense (and by practical defense, I mean landing a nice jab to the face, lol), learn the art of muay thai with clean technique and get out-of-this-world coaching if you decide to compete. More importantly, you'll meet and befriend people from all walks of life who would be more than happy to welcome you. Unlike many gyms I've been to, you won't find a "bro-ey" atmosphere. You won't be judged for wanting to simply get a workout in, or being overweight, or for being completely and utterly clueless about fighting (like I was). Everyone has been at the starting line and everyone has a story to tell. No one knows this better than Jamie Bradley. I love everything about this gym and I love everyone there.

What sets UFR apart is the variety of disciplines offered. Whether you're interested in traditional martial arts or modern approaches, there's something here for everyone. Beyond just technique, the focus on real-world self-defense tactics gives you practical skills you can carry into everyday life. I've been training here for over four years, and in that time I've also attended many seminars with the instructors to accelerate my own growth. Their commitment to continuous learning--training with other instructors worldwide and bringing back new insights--has directly fueled my progress as a student. I also appreciate how they balance respect for tradition with innovative, effective teaching methods. The atmosphere is one of humility, kindness, and encouragement. No ego, no intimidation--just a supportive community where everyone is respected and pushed to grow. If you're looking for a martial arts school that combines tradition, modern training, and a welcoming environment, UFR Martial Arts is the real deal.
