Best dojo in Indiana. World class instructors, great social community, and small classes for individual critique. I've trained here for three and a half years and don't want to be anywhere else. This gym is so welcoming and great for beginners through tenured practitioners, men and women, and people of all ages. I have developed so much as a martial artist and I've barely touched the tip of the iceberg. Every class is something new and interesting. Everyone takes care of one another and inspires each other to be the best versions of themselves, both on and off the mats. HMA is such a well rounded academy that also has a high standard of excellence. You will only be pushed as much as you’re comfortable with, but if you have ambitious goals you’ll have no problem being challenged and achieving them here. It's a prestigious team that consistently succeeds on the competitive level but equally values its hobbyists. You will get everything you could ask for here. There just aren't enough great things to say about HMA. Love it here.

Started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at HMA about 1.5 months ago and could not be happier! The art itself is a beautiful chess match played with your limbs. Sensei George and the rest of the instructors here provide a welcoming environment and excellent instruction to students of all levels, and it's great exercise along the way. If you've been considering martial arts of any kind, come give HMA a try!

Great culture. More interested in education than competition and winning. Love bringing my boys to beginners ninja and enjoy going to the adult class myself.

Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was something I did on a whim to help stay fit and boost my confidence. Sensei George and the HMA team made quick work of that and gave me so much more than I hoped for. Fun, safe, challenging, and fulfilling are all words I'd use to describe the program. What more could you ask for?

I’ve trained at HMA for a few years and have really enjoyed my experience with sensei George and sensei Jonathan. I would and do recommend HMA if you are looking for a great place to train.

When I started up at HMA, Sensei George worked one on one with me and my goals. Weeks had passed and my ability to do push ups and crunches increased. Things I never thought I was able to do became possible. The staff here always made sure to keep a comfortable environment with encouraging people. I've made some amazing friends in my classes and I have become proud of what I am able to do because of HMA. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities presented at HMA that have challenged my mind, body, and spirit. HMA is the only place I would want to go for my martial art or fitness needs.

I walked in off the street one day to talk to Sensei George and have been coming back for the last several months. Sensei George listened to my goals and we talked through how to achieve them with HMA’s programs. I absolutely love the fitness kickboxing class and the instructor and group environment has been the extra support I needed. Because I am just starting at 46 years old and I had specific goals, I have worked 1:1 with Sensei George through individual classes. I’m excited to start group beginner courses soon as well. I love seeing how martial arts can have such a positive impact on our children’s lives and HMA is dedicated to developing character, integrity and confidence in our youth. That said, you are never too old to start and for me, it’s been life changing. My suggestion for anyone considering martial arts for their child or themselves is to go and meet with the staff and owner. Talk to them about what your goals are, feel the space you’ll be training in, and decide if it’s right for you. I’ve only written a few reviews in my life, but it’s important to me to share this because HMA has had such a great impact on my life.

Great instruction. Family atmosphere. This is my home away from home. Multiple black belt instructors. Impressive lineages in Hawaiian Kenpo and BJJ. And the best fitness kickboxing in the area.

I've gone here for a few weeks now, and I still love being there every time. I've done the fitness kickboxing classes and tried out the combat kickboxing and bjj classes as well. As other reviews mention, it is an incredibly supportive and non-judgmental environment. I always feel welcome walking in, more so than any other gym setting I've ever been in. Prices are reasonable and the people are awesome!

My kids loved the free intro classes. They were very nice and fun. Just can't afford it or we would definitely be back! Keep up the good work!

My wife and I went to the House of Martial Arts based on a promotional offer they had around St. Patricks Day (wonderful deal, btw) and before the first class was over we felt that this was a place that we could see ourselves wanting to come to. The facility is super clean (they take pride in how much they do to keep it sanitary), the staff and instructors are extremely amicable and encouraging while giving you lots of one on one attention, which is great as a beginner! They offer a variety of classes including: Fitness kickboxing, Hawaiian Kenpo/Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA training classes. Each of these has different areas and techniques that are the focused on depending which day of the week it is. For example, for Kenpo, Mondays are stand-up fighting/combat kickboxing, Wednesdays and Saturdays are Jiu-Jitsu grappling (ground fighting) days, and Fridays are stand-up fighting with an emphasis on self-defense. Soon after the trial, my wife and I decided to train full time in Hawaiian Kenpo which is the schools specialty and its secondary specialty jiu-jitsu. It has been one of the best things we have done for ourselves physically and mentally as the art and instructors help build you up beyond what we thought we were capable of. My somewhat timid wife who never had any fighting experience in real life or training is now confident enough in herself and her skills learned here that she is considering competing in jiu-jitsu competitions in the future! I can't recommend Sensei/Owner George Nae and his staff enough for anyone that is interested in improving upon themselves!

I joined HMA back in December 2014 initially only for the MMA classes. Having enjoyed the MMA classes so much, I decided to start the Cardio Kickboxing also. I am still absolutely hooked to both. The two classes are completely different - Cardio kickboxing makes me work far harder than I ever did in the gym whereas MMA is all about learning the different techniques. Sensei George and his team are excellent trainers and have created a really fun environment in which to learn martial arts. I was at first worried that there would be people there just trying to prove they are the best however that isn't anywhere near the truth. No-one there is out to hurt anyone or prove anything, I can honestly say the whole group are there for their own self-development in martial arts. HMA caters to all ages - we have people aging from 20 (and younger) thru to mid 60s. To anyone who is thinking about trying HMA out - give it a go! I highly suspect that, like me, you will love it.

I have been going to House of Martial Arts for a little over three months (November 2014). I was convinced by a friend to go to a few classes and try it out; I have been hooked ever since. I go three days a week and I hate it when I have to miss a day. Overall, joining was the best exercise decision I have ever made!

- workouts are only an hour of your day - burns fatted areas and builds muscle - friendly/dedicated instructors - amazing environment - non expensive - ALWAYS PUSHING YOU TO DO YOUR BEST FROM BEGINNING TO END - all ages are welcome - you will never be judged always understood - workouts are NEVER the same My favorite part of HMA is that you are always getting the correct answers and results your looking for! Classes are always directed to burn fat, build muscle, and defense skills we all need in life!

Fantastic place to get in shape and get a lot of stress out. I've been doing the fitness kickboxing and the adult martial arts classes, about 1 year and a couple of months for the fitness kickboxing and about 2-3 months with the adult martial arts, and I love both of them! Both Art and George are fantastic instructors that truly care about keeping all of their students engaged, focused on their goals and always giving that individualized touch in their customer service. All of this for a great price I might add! I wanted to get in shape and get rid of some stress from the daily grind, without having to lock myself in a gym for hours. My solution was to go and try the classes at the house of martial arts!

I have been with HMA a little over 2 months now I am training to be a fighter sensei G and sensei art know what they are doing as far as training people to get them ready as fighters, or in other areas they want to be in. I recommend this place to everyone I talk to because I'm picky about places. With this atmosphere it's the best

I attend both the the Kickboxing Fitness Class and the Self-Defense Traditional Belt Curriculum. I love them both. The fitness class is the perfect blend of cardio and general strength/flexibility training. It usually involves two parts: roughly twenty minutes of "bagwork" (punching and kicking) followed by a core strength series of exercises using floor exercises and/or light weights. Every class is a little different from the other so it never gets old. Its a great atmosphere also - very friendly supportive clientele, and Sensei George, Art, and company really help you get going. The self-defense class is an MMA style track emphasizing both standup technique as well as a heavy dose of Jujitsu and Judo. Belts are not dispensed like candy, they are earned. 8-9 years to the covetted black belt. Cannot recommend this more! If you are looking for fitness, this is the place to go. Ditto for self-defense training. Sidenote for the ladies: the fitness class is tops for toning and will not "bulk" you up. You will love hitting the bags and you will see the results within weeks! Also, it is a very good supportive non-intimidating environment.
