There are no egos and everyone there is genuinely trying to help everyone else be better. They have a good mix of people from young kids trying to learn life skills and confidence, to competitors looking to win Golden Gloves (of which the team has won many times!), to people looking to just get in shape and not compete. They even have a Masters Boxing team for people over 35 years old that want to compete and/or get in shape and stay active.

Like many others, I don't like to have a zero activity week, even while on vacation. I also find that if I have no BJJ days, my first day back (after just a week) is absolutely miserably painful. I looked for BJJ locations near my family's home, and found Endurance BJJ just 10 or so minutes away. When I looked them up online, I saw something that I haven't seen before...a section addressing visitors labeled "Welcome Visitors". I contacted Endurance BJJ and received an immediate response from Candace. She was able to get me setup and answered several questions. There was no mat fee, and they were fine with me wearing my Gi from my home academy. She told me that Coach Clingerman would be expecting me. I arrived at the date and time I found convenient for the hectic family schedule we had (I only had time for one training date). Coach Clingerman knew I was coming and remembered where I was from. He showed me around the gym and a few rules they all followed. Once changed, I headed to the mat and started to meet some of Coach Clingerman's students. To say that Coach Clingerman and his students were gracious hosts is an understatement. I had a great time and got to drill and roll with some amazing people. Coach Clingerman is a fantastic instructor, and his academy would be my choice if I lived in the area. I would highly recommend Endurance BJJ for your home academy if you're local. If you're traveling and need a spot to get in a good BJJ session, you should call and stop by. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience.

Highly recommend for adults and kids.

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.

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.

I was looking for a really nice martial arts facility in the broader Indianapolis area and after…read moresome extensive search I finally found it. Having trained with Antoni Hardonk at Dynamix MMA in Los Angeles and a world kickboxing champion back in Russia I had a solid kickboxing foundation but couldn't find a gym in Indy that would be equally satisfying and being as much joy. I researched a lot of martial arts and was always interested in Krav Maga and Sambo as the most practical and applicable in real life and it was great to find a certified Krav Maga venue nearby. After a free class I needn't have convinced myself anymore - I got the right vibe of the place and signed up the same week. Krav Maga Worldwide Indy is like a big family and I only met nice people here. Everybody is helpful and a great partner to practice all sorts of techniques. Jeff, Kevin, Mike, Junior are all different but equally amazing coaches who care about their students and are very knowledgeable. Long story short - I highly doubt there's a better self defense gym in Indy with highly qualified coaches and a great bunch of people to train with. It is worth every penny to come here and learn so one day KM could save yours or someone else's life.

It's a great feeling knowing that you are working towards the goal of not only getting stronger, but you're learning skills to protect yourself and your loved ones. I've trained with a variety of the instructors here and I can honestly say I love them all- they will have different training techniques so it's great to get different perspectives. There are classes almost daily so it can fit almost any schedule. I'm proud to be part of the Krav family! Anyone who is skeptical should give it a try- you can get a free first class. Everyone is so welcoming and they work with any fitness level. It's so worth it!

The studio is located within a commercial area and may seem unassuming as you follow your GPS there. But wow - this studio fully utilized the space it is in. I was greeted upon arrival and filled out the sheet as a first time student. (Also TBC is on classpass!) I took my shoes off at the front. They have a small retail area as well as an area with towels, wipes, mats for rent, etc. this area seemed to pertain to the heated classes more than the original barre code class that i was there for. I was shocked at how larger the studio was. For sure the largest barre studio I've ever seen. I felt like I had so much space which was nice. The prop area outside has a small easel up top that states what you will need for your class. This studio has two classrooms - one for the heated classes, and one for the nonheated. Plenty of lockers with keys are available as well. Now for the class: wow what a butt kick. Literally did butt kicks from time to time. But the 50 minutes flew by. The pacing was quick but I never felt like i wasn't able to stay up to speed. Throughout the class the lights dimmed to prepare us for the final "burnout" as they call It and stretching. My hips could have used a bit more stretching between segments but all in all it was a great workout. I may just venture back again!

Exercise extreme caution before signing anything. Like any business that sells you a workout plan,…read moreyou are just as accountable for attending the classes as they are holding up their end of the deal. However, I experienced a breakdown on their end immediately. The private lesson that I was given as my first free lesson was very encouraging. I was excited about losing that extra 20 pounds and was preyed upon by these sales people. Immediately following this lesson I was put in a sales office with the owner. He told me FOR THE FIRST TIME that this lesson wasn't really free. Keep in mind that I was already done with the lesson at this point. The deal was that if I didn't sign up for their high pressure legally contracted lesson plan that I NOW HAD YO PAY OVER $100 FOR MY "FREE" LESSON! I was uncomfortable with their sales approach of essentially tricking people in to signing up or paying for that lesson... but they got me... I signed on the dotted line. In this meeting I was promised over $500 worth of equipment included as part of what I signed up for... I received a T-shirt... which they asked me to pay for at first and then was told that I needed to spend literally hundreds of more dollars on essential equipment that came from them. I was ignored and taken away from the group when I mentioned that "I signed up for the package where my equipment was included." The instructor tried to separate me and give me a pair of gloves to "shut me up." The reason I wrote this review is because of one thing. I was paying them over $150 per month to work out there. I told them that I did not feel I was given what was promised and the classes are NOTHING like your "free" private lesson on the first day. I had paid on time in full for 4 months and sent them an email. I asked about terminating my contract because I didn't feel they were holding up their end and requested to sit down with them. Immediately I was met with a legal letter telling me that I was lazy and wanted out because I'm of low moral character. The letter went on to say that they were threatening legal action. I was blown away, I asked for a meeting to discuss something and had never missed a payment and that's what I got. This business clearly wasn't for me and I should have never signed up for something I was this uncomfortable with, but I was motivated by trying to improve my body. All I will say is please don't sign anything until you have went to a few of the regular scheduled classes and have 100% of the information about what they will expect you to purchase from them once you are a member. Don't let your feelings about your body cloud your judgment about this business. I would recommend declining the "free" lesson and paying for a few GROUP sessions before ever signing anything. I was trapped by a contract to workout somewhere that I was uncomfortable with taught by people who I was very uncomfortable with.
