Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

"I have been hopping around trying to find a BJJ academy for me and this is absolutely the one. I was a little skiddish and uncomfortable in starting BJJ in general, and Coach James made all of that go away seconds into walking in the building. They start you off with a great intro lesson before your first class that made me extremely comfortable going forward, and then my first class was no different. Great instructors, really making sure you are understanding what is going on, offering great assistance and making the students very comfortable. I am so glad i found IBJJA and am excited to go from here. If you are on the fence about starting, or trying to find the academy that is right for you, give IBJJA a try!"

"IBJJA was a great experience for our boys. They were 5 and 8 when we attended so we experienced both classes. It's a great way to keep kids active between sports seasons. It greatly helped their movements in other sports as well! Highly recommend IBJJA!"

"Randomly started going to classes here, and I couldn't be happier about it. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I didn't expect to feel welcomed as someone who started this journey a bit late, and everyone is very supportive and welcoming. Highly recommend."

"Our family knew we wanted to be a part of IBJJA before we even stepped foot in the school. We did an extensive amount of research as we were looking for a very specific school. Honestly, we were looking for the best in Indy. And what we found at IBJJA exceeded all expectations -- facility, coaches, curriculum, cleanliness...all of it. We signed up before my husband even finished his first class. They treat their students and families with respect and kindness -- making them know they matter...and are not simply another dollar sign each month. Trust me, in this industry, there are many schools that do just that. Our son has also been accepted with open arms and has watched classes since he was a couple months old and now even gets some training in (age 4). Everyone knows him by name and truly treats him as one of their own. If he's not there, they always ask where he's at and when he'll be back. Like I said, everyone matters here. I could not ask for a better BJJ school for my son to grow up in -- and the fact he gets to learn at the same school as his father is icing on the cake. If you're looking for a top notch BJJ school, you've found it in Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and all their coaches/staff. Professor James Clingerman is truly one of the best instructors I've ever seen in the industry. 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend."

"I've been learning bjj, kickboxing, and mma from James and his friends/ coaches since my 30 day trial in 2007. It's the best instruction and attention to detail you can get for your money from coast to coast. He's done it all and has the video, medals/trophies, and stories to prove it! Give the 30 day trial a go and see where it can take you!"
