Finding a Gracie certified school in Indy was difficult until this location opened up. Wonderful people. Coach James is very skilled, very welcoming and great with kids and adults. I can't say enough good things about this gym.

This academy is a 100% class act. Here was my experience…read more I traveled to Indianapolis to visit family for the week. 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.

His confidence has gone through the roof and he is learning not only Jiu-Jitsu but so many useful life skills. I have been training Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing.

Highly recommend for adults and kids.

I was in town visiting family still in the Greenwood area and didn't think I'd be able to find any gym nearby with good bags to train on. I'm coming from the old Fairtex camps out of NorCal and was happy to see they had a Fairtex banana bag and similar heavy bags setup to hit on. They even had 3 separate speed bag stations (for varying heights) with the smaller, quicker speed bags which are great to use. Kru Ian was very hospitable. Took time to even chat it up a bit on top of giving pointer (and reminder!) on my "lazy" teep! If you want to get in shape and learn 1 of the best martial arts for self-defense and/or be a competitive fighter, Muay Thai with a supplemental foundation in Western Boxing is where it's at IMHO. You are NEVER too old. I'm 52 and even new members I meet think I'm in my 30s. Kru Ian is in his mid-40s and could easily pass for 30! Thank you Sir.

After my first month, I feel like I've made large improvements in my grappling ability, cardio, and -frankly- confidence outside of the gym. It takes about a week to get the swing of how practice works and you might not understand how much you're improving at first until you start rolling - which can be within the first couple weeks of consistent attendance and effort. If you're as new to the sport as I am, all you'll need to do is bring a respectful but positive attitude to practice and trust what they're teaching you in class, the tempo and dope submissions will slowly accumulate as you work through the more cornerstone principles they focus on in class. Be ready to sweat, too- it's a great total body workout!
