| If you want a safe, fun, and challenging way to get in shape and challenge your mind then you should try out BJJ for a few weeks. The environment at IBJJA is very safe, fun, family friendly, and yet still serious about teaching and training top notch Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My 9 year old son and I started going a little less than a year ago and both love the school and all the coaches. The zoom classes and flexible class schedules have helped me be able to get in classes and workouts without sacrificing family, or work commitments. I really enjoy learning BJJ alongside my son; he gets really excited to show me what his favorite coach, coach Manning, is teaching in classes. I highly recommend anyone of ANY age trying it out for a month. I think they might have a promo to try out a month for free. |

| Love this place! I have been training as a part of this team for over 6 years now and don’t intend on stopping anytime soon. The facilities are great, the coaches and teammates are top notch and I can’t recommend this academy enough.
Getting started in any martial art is intimidating but this team is superb at reducing the feel of pressure and fear of starting a combat sport. Give them a chance, I promise you won’t regret it! |

| I have trained in many gyms across the United States, and this one is my favorite. The Clingerman team is friendly, professional, and experienced. It is the best place to learn BJJ for fun, self-defense, or competition. I highly recommend you try this place out. |

| IBJJA features excellent instruction, a variety of upper belts that are always available to assist, a number of classes available during the week, and a clean and safe environment. But what really sets it apart is how owner James Clingerman and his wife AJ make you feel like part of the family. You can find whatever you want here; self defense, exercise, challenging yourself, or all of the above. Classes are fun and as tough as you want them to be. I highly recommend all gender, shape, size, and age of people to try IBJJA's free month to see what you think. I've been training here for several years now and am so convinced I will always want jiu-jitsu in my life that I opted for the lifetime membership! |

| This place is by far one of the best Jiujitsu schools in Indiana, there approach to the techniques and way of teaching just makes you understand and retain the knowledge they are passing along no matter how difficult the technique is the coaches will ensure you understand. It's not just a gym / or dojo, everyone here is like family and it shows the minute you walk through the door. Give it a try you dont have anything to loose and I promise you, you won't regret it. |

| IBJJA is the absolute best place you can train. Every coach treats you with respect and makes you feel like part of a family. Everybody that trains there are great people and I love training there under coach James. If you are looking for a place to start learning how to defend yourself or just looking to get in shape with kickboxing or jujitsu male or female I highly recommend attending. Everything about IBJJA is amazing and I’m proud and honored to say I train at IBJJA. |

| I started training Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at IBJJA 10 years ago. I was looking for a fun way to get in shape and to learn self defense.
The thought of joining a martial arts gym was a bit intimidating because I struggle with social anxiety. But the students and coaches at IBJJA were welcoming, encouraging, and very understanding of my lack of experience. The 30 day free trial helped me get started, and I was hooked by the first introductory class.
All of the coaches are very friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable about all things martial arts, fighting, exercise, health, and conditioning. The teaching style here is technical, detail oriented, and thorough, which works really well for me as a student.
IBJJA has always had the highest standard for cleanliness. The mats, equipment, bathroom, locker room, and lobby are always cleaned and very well maintained.
I can't say enough nice things about the academy, the instructors, or my fellow students. Training here changed my life for the better. I'm more confident, disciplined, and I'm constantly motivated to make healthy decisions. I'm in the best shape of my life, mentally and physically, and I'm always improving.
I recommend IBJJA or any of the Team James Clingerman affiliates for anyone who wants to get in shape, learn effective self defense, or compete in BJJ or MMA. |

| About a year ago, my son wanted to get involved in martial arts. After researching various schools, we decided on IBJJA. We could not have made a better decision. My son has learned responsibility, respect and accountability. He looks forward to going and wants to be involved in any way he can.
Today ended their week-long summer camp and this was the first year my kids participated. I wish it could happen more than once a year! My kids loved it (win for them) and they were exhausted each evening (win for me!).
We are thrilled to be a part of the IBJJA family! |

Not only do they bring skills and insight, but they're allowed to and willing to share it. James and AJ have clearly built a lot of lasting relationships over the years and everyone who trains here gets to benefit from that at some point in time. Excellent place to add skills to your self defense repertoire or train to compete. |

| I travel a lot for work and always try to pack a gi while on the road. Landed at IND at 6pm, Googled bjj and read a couple reviews on various options to pick a place to get i. Some training. FB messaged ibjja after reading all the positive reviews. Got in contact with prof. James, who is an awesome dude. He invited me to train at 7pm. Made it in time for class straight from the airport. Arrived to a great facility, 2 rooms with large mat space, lots of training equipment for conditioning. Classes are a good size with skill levels ranging from students of all belt ranks, so a beginner can come in and feel comfortable. Prof. James taught the class which was great because he'll teach a technique, while also making sure students are cautioned about typical mistakes people will make in competition. He also taught how not to get countered trying to execute that technique, and/or how to counter the attack, which I think is a very comprehensive approach to developing skills and learning a new technique. He's very detail oriented so he'll "show and tell" a lot, making sure we practiced the technique with our partners properly. Everyone likes to roll live at the end, and knowing that he spent that particular's class time teaching a lot, he opened up the mat even after class rolled overtime so students could roll afterwards. It was was a great environment, competitive yet respectful towards one another. Welcoming for sure, AJ at the front is awesome as well. They have some dope gear to pick up also. Prof. James let me train for free as I was just in town for a few hours. I picked up a couple ladies shirts for myself because I wanted to support his school but he wouldn't charge a mat fee ( which is rare to come by in all the different bjj training facilities in various states/countries I've stopped in to train). Awesome people, awesome place. I would recommend any day, and will stop in again for sure any time I am in Ind.

| I have been around the world twice, and trained with everyone at least once! Well maybe not everyone, but I have had the fortune to train at a lot of great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies, and the Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, located in central Indiana, is no exception! It, or rather all who train there benefit from it being one of the longest running and most successful BJJ/MMA academies in Indiana. Not to give you a uphill in the snow story, but back when I started training Jiu-Jitsu, there I could count the number of brown and black belts in the state of Indiana on one hand. IBJJA has 3 to 4 brown belts and 5 to 6 purple belts on the mat at one given time. IBJJA offers a great and clean environment to train in. It is family friendly, pride is left at the door, and everyone there, from it's staff to it's students just wants to train and help each other progress and spread the gentle art! |

| The Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the place to train! I have been to several other gyms/martial arts academies and this is the best. The instructors take their time to instruct you and make sure that you are doing kickboxing, BJJ, Wrestling, MMA, etc. the right way. I enjoy training there and I don't expect to ever leave. |

| First, and best place I trained in BJJ and Muay Thai. James and the other instructors are awesome. Honestly the other places I have tried since I moved away are not on the same level even. No ego or BS at IBJJA. Keep up the awesome work and miss you all. |

| I found IBJJA years ago after getting bored with my traditional gym membership. I joined up for the kickboxing and conditioning, and I have since fallen in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. My entire life has been positively affected by training martial arts here.
The academy has a high standard for cleanliness. The coaching staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, humble, and just all around great people. I highly recommend this academy to anyone interested in practical martial arts, self defense, or an engaging fitness program. Since I've been training at IBJJA, my confidence has improved drastically (with it comes conflict resolution skills, and the assurance of how to handle myself in a self-defense situation), my physical fitness is better than ever, and I am more motivated than ever to live an active healthy lifestyle.
IBJJA is also a great place for kids to train martial arts. It is a family friendly environment, and there are numerous invaluable benefits of engaging kids in martial arts.
With a 30 day free trial, there is really no reason not to try it. |

| This school is by far the best in class. The owners are two of the best people I have ever met, and the coaches are all amazing at what they do. The school is ran with hospital cleanliness and military attention to detail. Their one month free trial is a little bit over the top, because you only really need a week to realize this is THE place to train in Indiana. If you aren't training here, you aren't training. |

| “If you’re not training here, you’re not training,” is often said at IBJAA, because it’s true. You will be pushed to do more and go farther than you thought you could. It’s the perfect place if you wish to make an active lifestyle choice. No matter what body build or skill level, you will be supported in exceeding your goals. Various competitions, races, and charity events are scheduled so that members can prepare and train harder for ongoing challenges. It is a place where you will see elite champion coaches train beginners and skilled athletes at their ability level with the same amount of respect and encouragement. It also is a place where there is a spirit of community and camaraderie. Staff are always present at competitions supporting and coaching along the sidelines. Social events are family oriented and filled with light-hearted fun. IBJAA truly is the place if you want life-changing training. |

| IBJJA is the best Jujitsu school in the Midwest, hands down. James Clingerman is truly a master at teaching. James was instrumental in my first place finishes, two years in a row at the Hoosier Open.
I have paid for many classes and seminars with other instructors over the past ten years and I can tell you my time and money was best spent at IBJJA.
Thank you James! |

| The Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is an excellent school for those at all skill level. My husband, my children, as well as myself, all participate in various classes and we all love it. The school provides a solid foundation for those of us just beginning, and continued skill and challenges for those much more experienced. Children even have an opportunity to participate and compete if they choose. More importantly, valuable lessons of dedication, determination, self-empowerment, teamwork, and reasoning are obtained just by being involved! |

| Ibjja has great coaches, very clean enviroment, also structured classes. Coach James Clingermen is very good at making sure everybody understands the moves they are performing, also very open too questions. They also offer privates with coaches for one on one if the person training is I nterested. The kids program offers a lot for children wanting to learn and participate. All the coaches here are awesome becomes more of a family than just another gym. |

| James and Aj run an outstanding and clean facility. They are both completely invested in the art taught and the team they've built. They welcomed me in with open arms and forever changed my life. I don't know that I have the linguistic ability to express what they've done for me or what they mean to me. They stand behind the product that they offer 100% and they offer a risk free trial, so there's no reason not to give the facility a shot. Sadly, I know longer live in Indy.. but, my coach out here knows them as well and speaks very highly about them. You'd be hard pressed to find a facility that offers the same quality level of technique, instructors, facility, and atmosphere. :) 5/5 etc.. etc.. |
