Best Jit-Jitsu gym in NWI. Braulio makes sure it’s clean, safe and everyone feels welcome. This team is like a family. Bri’s kickboxing literally makes me look better after two classes. Tony’s Muay Thai is also the best around, and Paul’s morning Jitsu-Jitsu is lit. There’s another guy that does a morning class, haven’t taken it but the guy was very nice when I met him! I would never train anywhere else. Looking forward to my continued success with this team. My confidence has never been so high and Jit-Jitsu has made me a better business owner bc of the dedication and problem solving it teaches me. 🙂 Important to know I made this review on my own accord. No one asked me to make it.

Best place to learn jiu jitsu in NWI. Attentive and personal instructors who emphasize safety and efficiency in training. Starting jiu jitsu can be nerve wracking, but Braulio and his team meet you with kindness and professionalism that makes those feelings fall by the waste side. Give CMA a shot!

Great coaching and team atmosphere. This is the equivalent of "travel" BJJ for your kids. The kids are pushed to be the best they can be, and will learn that all of their hard work will pay off as they get better.

CMA has been a transformative experience for my son, fostering incredible growth in his confidence and skills. He's developed lasting friendships and mastered various techniques, with each practice marking a new milestone. The supportive and encouraging Senseis create a positive environment that motivates him to excel. We're thrilled to witness his progress and eagerly anticipate the bright future ahead. I wholeheartedly recommend CMA to anyone seeking an empowering experience.

Best martial arts studio in the Chicagoland area. Kids program is top notch. Coaches provide great attention to all students. I would recommend them to kids or adults, who want to learn from the best. Both locations, portage and schererville are excellent. We have been going for 2 years now, it was the best decision we made.

Our experience at CMA has been wonderful! My daughter has been training here for 7 months and would train 7 days a week if we’d let her. Professor and Mrs. B are incredibly welcoming and supportive, and their kids program is top notch. They have mastered the ability to teach the kids proper technique while also having fun. My daughter has gained great amounts of confidence and meaningful friendships in such a short amount of time. I cannot recommend CMA enough!

CMA was my sons BJJ home for a number of months, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They were very professional and whether you're a seasoned grappler or someone completely new to the art, I highly recommend checking them out. Braulio is one of the best instructors you can ask for if you are interested in getting your children (or adults) into BJJ. Him and his staff strike the perfect balance of discipline and fun for the kids. I completely recommend them to everyone.

I recently visited Corral’s BJJ gym, and I had a fantastic experience. The head instructor, Braulio, was incredibly welcoming and created a great atmosphere. The students were not only well-trained but also very friendly, making it an enjoyable and productive environment to train in. Additionally, my nephew and niece train at Corral’s, and I can confidently recommend the kids’ program. It’s clear that the gym emphasizes both skill development and a supportive community. Whether you’re an adult or looking for a place for your kids to train, Corral’s is an excellent choice!

After more than 20 years of jiujitsu training, 8.5 as a black belt I moved from Chicago to NW Indiana. When I started training at Team Corral I was blown away by the quality of the technical instruction, as well as the warm and welcoming family atmosphere in the gym. As a former competitor who has competed all over the world, I can say that head instructor Braulio, as well as his team of instructors have maintained an amazing high level of jiujitsu. From hobbyists to competitors (one of the young students, Luke, just won the world championships at blue belt last month) this gym has it all. It's a real gem in the midwest and I consider it an honor to be a part of the team. It doesn't matter where you are in life or in your martial arts journey, training jiujitsu will 100% improve you as a human. I recommend everyone to either train or to put their kids into jiujitsu. For the youth, jiujitsu is like a superpower. My son is 3 and I cannot wait to get him started at Coral's in the next year or two. I highly Recommend this fantastic gym! 5 stars

My son is an 11 year old high level competitor in jiujitsu . Last year he was ranked #1 in the world throughout the whole year , placing 1st at nationals and 2nd at Pan ams. We live in Chicago and we have been traveling 2 hours every Friday just to be able to train with professor Braulio . His class is impeccable and very solid. We consider his kids class program to be the best in the Midwest. And we have visited / trained at the most renowned gyms in America such as AOJ AND COBRINHA , Corrals kids class is top notch and if you are interested in having your kids develop at the highest level in jiujitsu he counts with all the necessary skills and tools to do so . My kid developed so much after he started training with him that we highly recommend this gym to anyone who knows what world class jiujitsu is or if you want to have your kids learn legit jiujitsu. You won’t find anything better in the area. We do this far traveling for a reason and as I mentioned before it’s been all worth it . Team corral has crafted multiple time kids jiujitsu world champions throughout his career ever since he’s been in business . Highly recommended.

I have been on the hunt for a gym for a couple of weeks, going from gym to gym giving them all test runs. I was not very satisfied with most of the gyms, either the owner was to pushy on terms or the environment did not feel welcoming. I wish Corrals was my first stop because it would of been my only stop. The people there were welcoming, I did not feel like I was out of place; everything went better than planned. I just want to say I'm FINALLY satisfied, and can not wait to get the ball rolling with Corrals gym. I have only been in there one day but I can already say with certainty, whatever your personal goals are, I guarantee you will not be disappointed in choosing Corrals.

I enrolled my son in the kids BJJ & Taekwondo program, and I must say, it has been an incredibly positive experience. The instructors have created a learning environment that perfectly balances care, dedication, knowledge, and just the right amount of toughness for children. One of the standout qualities of the instructors is their genuine care for the well-being and progress of each child. From the moment we walked in, they welcomed us warmly, taking the time to get to know my child's strengths, weaknesses, and individual needs. Throughout the classes, they consistently provide encouragement, support, and guidance, ensuring that every child feels valued and supported in their journey. The instructors' knowledge and expertise in Jiu-Jitsu & Taekwondo are truly impressive. They possess a deep understanding of the martial art and skillfully impart their wisdom to the young students. They break down complex techniques into simple, digestible steps, ensuring that the children grasp the fundamentals while gradually progressing to more advanced moves. While Jiu-Jitsu & Taekwondo requires discipline and a certain level of toughness, the instructors strike the perfect balance in their approach. They challenge the kids to push their limits, encouraging them to persevere through difficulties and setbacks. However, they do so in a supportive manner, always considering each child's individual abilities and limitations. This approach helps build resilience, confidence, and self-discipline in the young practitioners. I highly recommend Corral’s kids program to any parent seeking a martial arts program that nurtures both physical and personal development in their child.

I'm a new student at CMA and really like the overall atmosphere of the academy. Braulio is a motivator and great instructor. At my first class I was paired with a great partner who assisted me with learning a beginners move and drilled it over and over. One of the things I like the most is the way the other advanced members take the time to point out things I did well, or wrong while training. Everyone is so laid back and willing to work with me being that I'm a new student. No one is out to show you up. Rather they're there to make me better and learn the basics. I would encourage anyone on the fence about training BJJ to come in for the free class and give it a try. The benefits are worth the cost of membership. No matter what age you are, it's never too late to learning and train at Corral's Martial Arts Academy. Your body will be soar but the feeling of accomplishment will ease the discomfort. I look forward to each and every class, even when I'm tired and feel like relaxing I feel so much better after attending class and rolling with my brothers. I highly recommend this academy and look forward to seeing you join us for training!!

As a 45 year educator, I enrolled my 10 year old great nephew after researching Corral. After observing most Taekwondo classes over the past five months, I have found instructors Dale, Bill, and Braulio to model not only the proper forms and kicks, but also to develop self-discipline, respect, and work ethic. My great nephew is more focused, stronger, and displays more confidence in his interactions at school and in class. They work well with children, having the proper balance of encouragement and discipline. They provide individual help when needed. Enrolling at Corral has been an excellent investment in building my nephew’s strength, confidence, and character. I would recommend Corral without hesitation to parents.

CMA is a top notch BJJ gym. I had been to a few other gyms before, but what sets CMA apart is the level of detailed instruction, the curriculum that they follow, and the videos that you get access to which help in your progression. The instructors teaching the classes are excellent. They give detailed instruction on how to execute what they are demonstrating that day. You can tell they take pride in the students success. Everyone is also very welcoming from day one. I have been to a couple of other places where you are looked at like the new guy. Here, everyone welcomes you the minute you step on the mat! The upper belts take time to roll with everyone (not just other upper belts) and help you progress and learn. I can't say enough positive things about CMA.

I signed my children up in October after moving to Munster. Coming to a new school, my children were shy and not very confident. After a month of doing the jiujitsu classes, a dramatic change happened with their personalities. They were becoming more confident and excited about the changes. Coach Braulio, Coach Bre, and Coach Nick care so much about their children and watching them grow, guiding them through life. The discipline learned on the mat does not stay on the mat. These are life skills that they are teaching these children. This is an amazing program ran by the most genuine, amazing people.

My son started training at Corral's Martial Arts several years ago. I would highly recommend everything about CMA -- the highly trained instructors who are committed to their students, the clean facilities, the friendly (I would really say family) atmosphere. There have been so many positive benefits for my son: the physical fitness, his developing self-discipline, his skill in Brazilian jiu jitsu, the friends he has made, being part of a team, and learning how to both win and lose. He has gone from a novice to competing at a national level in just a few years, which is amazing! Professor Braulio Corral is always coming up with innovative ways of keeping his students motivated; kids love having their jiu jitsu"report cards" linked to their smart devices -- and this makes them invested in the process and responsible for their own progress. There are fitness opportunities available for the whole family at CMA; rather than always sit and watch, I take the women's cardio kickboxing classes taught by Brianne Corral. Overall, our experience at CMA has been excellent!

I have attended this academy for many years, roughly 9 I believe. I have learned many things here that have aided in my day to day life. Having taken my first class as a 10-year-old (maybe a year or two younger), and attending class tonight as a 20-year-old young adult. I have a unique prospective on the classes, instructors and facility. When I first started attending classes It was for two distinct reasons. One I needed a formal form of discipline in my life and two I lacked confidence in social situations. My parents knew someone that had their son in the program. Their son was already a friend of mine though church and in addition to that they gave my parents glowing reviews. Fast forward a couple of months and I was enrolled. As a kid I LOVED IT. Both of the reasons I started going for soon were in my past. So, to any adult out there that wants a fun activity to bond with their child over, this is it. Now why did I keep going for nearly ten years after that? It is simple. Over all that time as a child I grew very quickly into loving the sport. Having that love of the sport kept in in the sport. What kept me at this academy specifically was that it has MULTIPUL instructors on the mat at every class. It has multiple locations to train at so it is very convenient for my work schedule, and has proven to have an excellent track record in competitions proving that the curriculum is truly top notch. TLDR: Top notch instructors and staff Multiple locations Proven curriculum Has much to offer for both adults and children

My husband and I brought my daughter here a little over a year ago hoping to find a good school for her to continue her tae kwon do training, almost immediately we discovered not only was it an exceptional school ran by an exceptional owner, but was so much like an extended family that our daughter looks forward to her four days of training per week with pure joy. She has become a great little fighter in BJJ and really improved markedly in her Tae Kwon Do. All of her instructors are fabulous and very conscious of a young child’s fragile personality. I could not hope for nicer people and a more pleasant environment than Corrals martial arts. Thank you so much for your dedication to your students.

Baldman's “Jas0nK1611” Opinion

A great place to learn no matter your skill level. A very organzined curriculum and a laid back friendly atmosphere. Some martial arts dojos have a threshold of learning where once passed you don't learn anything new. But here you can start at white belt and go all the way to black. A real depth of knowledge and experience from the teachers here. It is worth every penny.

We started taking our son here back in October because he was getting bullied on the bus. He was a little reluctant at first, having no experience with athletics or self defense, but the staff and other students were so welcoming and inclusive we were immediately at ease. So much so that myself and my wife started taking adult classes. Our son has grown in confidence and discipline more than we could have hoped.

I've been training here for about 4 years. Throughout my time I've visited several other schools in the west while on trips, and I can definitely say that the sense of community here is the best. Complex instruction is made simple, leaving everyone who trains regularly with a solid repetoirre of basics and advanced moves. If you stop by, you can count on me or anybody you choose to speak to for advice! Just look for the shortest guy in the room.

Great place to train! I stopped in as a guest as I was traveling on the road. I’m a Gracie Barra student from a different state, but everyone was very welcoming to me. There were a lot of tough, well trained BJJ practitioners at this school!

I first walked into Corral's Martial Arts over 7 years ago and thankfully I have been there ever since. My journey with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been a great experience and I am very grateful to be at a school which nurtures your progression through the art. The academy utilizes modern teaching techniques, both in person and online, which are laid out through a curriculum to ensure that you are constantly moving in the right direction. Through those teaching methods, hard work, and the abundance of quality training partners, you will surprise yourself at how well you do on the mats. The CMA academy yields alot of quality talent, all the way from white to black belts, and over the years everybody has been become like family!

I started my son at 4 years old and weren’t sure how well he would take to Brazilian jiu jitsu, but Braulio and his staff have been nothing but accommodating and helpful with the whole learning and adjusting process. It’s been a great experience for both me and my son and plan to be apart of this academy for a long time.

Great experience as soon as we walked in. High caliber instruction and good rolls. It was cool to walk into a gym 700 miles from home for a one night drop in and feel welcomed by everyone.

I was in the area and visited Professor Braulio Corral's academy for a couple classes. I've trained Jiu-Jitsu for 5 years at a handful of schools, and I can say that Professor Corral's academy is right up there with the friendliest of the places I've visited. No sharks here. Just down-to-earth guys and girls who want to improve their Jiu-Jitsu and lead a healthy lifestyle.

CMA has a great atmosphere and the instructors (and students) are eager to help. I don’t see a ton of egos which is awesome because it’s a humbling enough experience being the new guy in a BJJ gym without having to deal with negative personalities. It’s a very cool culture in that building. Well done! Braulio is a great teacher and very welcoming. Also, I wanted to mention that Paul, Andy, and Tony are all great guys and instructors.

My son and I have been looking for a good place to train since we moved to NWI. There are a few reasons that I decided to stick with Corral's. This place is such an awesome environment for my son. They have an awesome kids program with a really great structure. They have videos you can view online to help you review the curriculum from home. They have everything laid out for me in order to help my little man advance in the program. The skills needed to advance through each stripe and belt are laid out ahead of time so you can maximize your training. The adult program is also top notch and I everyone I train with is very nice and welcoming. The gym is also very clean. I am grateful to have a found a new home to continure my jiu jitsu journey.

My son has been taking classes now for a couple months, and absolutely loves it. The owner Braulio works so well with the children and their parents. I am happy with how the martial arts school is run, and the camaraderie the parents have for one another.

My son has been attending the BJJ classes for almost a year now. He was always reluctant to sports in general, especially because it doesn’t come naturally to him. It took him a few months to get the hang of it, but I’m so glad we stuck with it. He absolutely LOVES going. The instructors are supportive and encouraging, and all the students are awesome teammates. They have fun, work hard, and support one another. As a parent, it’s SO nice to have your kid dragging YOU to their activity, and not the other way around. I highly recommend this.

The owners and instructors have created a really positive place based on mutual respect and learning. I see kids and teens with a great amount of self esteem and physical and mental strength. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe place for their children to grow up learning great life skills and to get a great workout.

I contacted Prof. Corral to see if I could drop in while in town on business. I was warmly welcomed into a terrific academy where I was able to participate in technical drills and some fun & energetic rolling. Highly recommend you reach out if you're in the area and would like to improve your Jiu Jitsu in a positive environment.

Braulio and his team do a great job with kids. We have found that he balances discipline, instruction, and empathy to provide a great environment for kids to develop a variety of skills, including: paying attention, listening, self-respect, respect for others, team-work, toughness, and of course grappling and striking - all while having fun and being fit.

Corral's Martial Arts in the best in the business. My son has been studying there since March. Every single one of the instructors have a patience that cannot be matched! They use iPads to maintain documentation of student's achievements/requirements. Parents have access to their children's "report card" so that they and their children can monitor progress from home as well. They also post videos to show the requirements for each rank that the student is working on so that they can view and practice at home. We truly feel so blessed to have found Corral's!!! If you are looking, this is the place for you!!

My daughter first started training here about three years ago. Now she's a national champ! What a difference it's made in her strength, agility and self-confidence. The coaches are among the best in the Midwest and really invested in the success of their students. This led me to start training as well. I can't say enough about the quality of the people who train here. Higher belts are eager to teach and help those just starting out. No egos. We call it a "team" but it definitely feels more like a "family."

Professor Braulio and Mrs. B. were fantastic from day one. They are very skilled and also warm and welcoming. We had a great experience there in Tiny Tigers and Kids BJJ.

For a while i thought of visiting this place to check it out for my kid. That however changed after witnessing at tournament one of the parents from this team screamed to his daughter to "break" a childs arm who was in a match with his daughter. This is foul and unacceptable behavior from an adult i cant believe what i heard and if this is what they are taught here. I do not ever recommend anyone stepping a foot here. Do better.

Only care about you or your child if they are competing. Other than that, it’s free money for the school when you don’t show up anymore because of very bad vibes!!!
