Martial Arts Schools in Indianapolis

“We love Geist Martial Arts! Wonderful instructors, flexible schedules and the kids always have a blast and learn lots of new skills.“

“The instructors at Choi Martial Arts are absolutely incredible. They are so patient and dedicated to every single person in class. I can’t say enough nice things about how they operate, and would recommend them to anyone looking to enroll their child, or themselves.“

“I dropped in to the noon Friday class when I was in town on business. It's a great gym with a good culture. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The instruction was top notch. I'd highly recommend“

“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!“

“If you’re looking to put your child or yourself in karate, I highly recommend here! My son is autistic and Since I have signed my son up here I have noticed a change in my his confidence and behavior. He enjoys his time when he’s there even when he gets disciplined for not listening. Which is rare now due to their techniques in training. He has learned SO much here and has achieved so many of his goals since he has been enrolled here. He loves all his instructors and looks up to them so much! Indianapolis Martial Arts Club is the place to go to learn great self defense and discipline, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They are also very clean and professional to the max! You would definitely be missing out not choosing here!“

“I decided after a month that this sport was not for me personally, but during my time the coaches/students were very supportive and welcoming. It is a difficult sport to get into & requires a lot of time to learn, but the owner has good integrity & years of championship experience. There is a solid communal vibe. Just expect to be a bit overwhelmed as a complete beginner.“

“my son started in the beginning of April and has went from a white belt to orange belt in three months. it was so hard for me to get him into an activity & martial arts has been amazing. the instructors are all amazing and patient and what they do for these kids is a blessing.“

“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!!“

“Our son has been doing Hernle Family Karate since 2021 including at the dojo, at school and also summer camps. We are so very pleased. You can tell that both sensei Ben and sensei Hernle truly love what they do. Our son comes home so proud and happy. He has learned to respect his body and respect others while learning self protection. He has learned to work through challenges and has become quite disciplined and motivated to promote to the next belt. I love that he learns from more advanced leaders, and he also has an opportunity to be a leader. I love that they learn to respect their space and environment. I truly feel like their name stands for exactly what it is, a family. ❤️“

“KTA was a great experience for my young son. It helped him with his confidence and discipline. Grandmaster Kottee is a great instructor.“

“This place has changed my life in every way. I am physically and mentally stronger then I ever have been thanks to Mudokwan.“

“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“

“Found this club upon looking for a new sport outside of my current ones. And I specifically wanted a Judo Dojo, and Judo instructor. I got everything I asked for, as well as more. Im grateful to everyone here too, not just our widely knowledgeable instructor. Perhaps small in number but the growing community is all here for each other to learn and teach one another. As I understand it: There's a lot of history in the padded floors of this place. And some really awesome and proficient practitioners of this sport are here and/or have been. This place brings about Judokahs out of everyone involved.“

“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.“

“KTA is amazing! Our son started in November of 2023! He absolutely loves it! And we love KTA!“

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