Martial Arts Schools in Indianapolis

“It’s been a minute since I have seen true excellence in life and I saw it today. The lessons being taught here and the delivery is fantastic. So glad we came here!“

“Thank you for the class. I’m a truck driver stoped in to work out. Very nice coach and students. Liked it“

“I had a foster kiddo who I threw into all the things to allow them experiences of a childhood and to find their niche.Nothing compared to Hernly Family Karate. My kiddo was welcomed with open arms and accepted for who he was.Hernly Family Karate offered nothing but a positive and enriching experience from summer camp to weekly sessions-it was nothing short of perfection.Fantastic communication, affordable and well rounded in all the things. The growth I saw and the smile always present after my kiddo’s weekly session and camps spoke volumes.Thank you Hernly Family Karate for being a hidden gem and giving such a wholesome and wonderful environment for all involved.“

“My grandson is autistic and lives with challenges. He was accepted into this school and thrives. Focus, patience, care and a sense of belonging are given to him freely. He loves it here“

“Our children have been coming to Taekwondo Academy around 3 months and they love it! They have gained confidence and learned so much in a small amount of time. Grand Master Cottee is fun and mixed with tough instruction. Exactly what our kids needed. They can't wait for the next class!“

“Eastside Family Karate provides my two polar opposite kids with valuable lessons that extend beyond karate. My youngest started at age 4 and one of the first things I noticed was the way karate provided discipline and practice following instructions without punishment or a sense of negativity. My son was easily motivated by his sensei’s fun and active approach to instruction. Four years later, karate is as much intellectual as physical for him, providing a growth mindset that he needs. That focus on growth is important for my daughter, too. Karate is a key part of her transformation from a quiet, shy girl who is afraid to do new things to a quiet, shy girl who has as much confidence in her heart and tiny body as she does her mind. We love being part of the community at the Eastside dojo, a very supportive place to learn, be active, and make friends.“

“Established in 1965 and thought many outstanding martial artists since. Mr. Young Park was only owner and instructor for the school.“

“So happy my son and I joined this dojo a few years ago. Great confidence build and an awesome Sensei!“

“Great club. I've gotten more out of training here for a year than I did training for years at other martial arts places.They offer quality instruction in traditional Kodokan Judo rather than merely focusing on strategies for winning competitions. (We do also compete though and members of our club got gold, silver, and bronze at the State Championships recently.) Whether you're interested in Judo for self-defense or just as an artform, this is the place for you. There's also a great deal of emphasis on groundwork here. It's a relatively small club with a relaxed atmosphere.I've got a long way to go and lots of training ahead of me, but I'm confident that Virgil's Judo Club will help me continually improve both as a judoka and a person.“

“My son has become a blackbelt through this school and has loved it all the way through.“

“Came in from out of town, great spot. Clear instruction, simple enough for beginners with great details advanced enough for those that have been training for a while. Great vibe, friendly atmosphere, I hope to visit again.“

“The Way Martial Arts is a gem of a school and martial arts community on Indy’s west side. My family and I have become more healthy, more disciplined, and grown personally and in friendships and community. Can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Choi martial arts has been a god send for my over all wellness. My stress levels have reduced dramatically. The staff is amazing and gives you individualized instruction. I would highly recommend choi martial arts to anyone looking to implement a fitness regimen and learn self defense.“

“I have been very pleased with the structure and activity of Grandmaster Pak’s dojo. We have a son that has been a part of the dojo for just over two years. Many of the Grandmaster Pak’s dojo principles re-emphasize what we’re teaching our son at home. It’s always good to have a community that our children can be a part of, that will emphasize the principles of discipline, work ethic, respect for self and others, healthy communication, self-awareness, confidence, and more. I would highly recommend giving this dojo a try!!“

“My daughter has learned alot by going there. She says she has been more social and outgoing. Not only is she learning how to defend herself but she is also learning discipline.“

“Our almost six-year-old has been attending twice a week for a month now and it’s been really great for him to have consistency and commitment to something!“
