Went there for open mat. Highly skilled but friendly training partners, will definitely return for another open mat of not some formal sessions. Recommended to all as it was also kid friendly and family oriented. A true staple to Chesterton. Glad this place exists.

This place is amazing for everyone. There cardio kickboxing for the ladies. Jiu-jitsu for adults and taekwondo for all ages. I love how family oriented this place is.

I received my black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before moving to Chesterton. I train regularly with James and can say with confidence that James is both a talented grappler and teacher, as well as a super nice guy. The students are welcoming, too. So glad to have found James and his gym!

James is knowledgeable and attentive to all levels but his ability to keep kids’ attention while training is top notch! Thanks for teaching our Girl Scouts self defense in a fun and engaging way!

Been training here on and off for the past 15 years. James has been a great constant roll model for me throughout my life. I always appreciate his time and vast knowledge of not only martial arts but life as well. Would highly recommend enrolling here!

James is an excellent person, as well as BJJ instructor. I started training about 3 years ago and I have zero complaints, I only wish I started sooner!
