Creates a great environment to learn with all different types of people and skill levels! Wether you are just starting or experienced, there is a place for you here.
My son has been a student for awhile. I like that it is something that he can do year around. They keep the equipment and facility clean. Which helps keeps the students healthy. And the instructors are knowledgeable and keep the class involved.
My daughter (age 9) is a student here. The teachers are phenomenal. They guide with patience and structure. Our family moved to the area from the west coast. My daughter was struggling adapting until we started coming to classes here. In a few short weeks I’ve watched my daughter grow in confidence and has made friends. She wakes up before school and does sit ups now before leaving for the bus. It’s so amazing watching my kid channel all her passion and drive into something other than roblox.
This school is great.
The instructors here are great. Our kids love it.I have considered joining the adult class, just haven't taken the plunge yet. Our kids have only been here for almost 6 months but we have seen a great improvement in their skills and behavior on and off the mat.
I've been a student at Indiana Martial Arts for over 7 years. In my life I've belonged to several gyms. This is by far the cleanest, most up to date, and well equipped facility I've ever trained in. The depth of instruction is amazing. Sensai Gruel has so much knowledge to share. I highly recommend.
My children were interested in taking MMA classes and I had no idea where to start. We were referred here; I'm so glad we were! This place has been a blessing for my kids, everyone feels like family! The instructors are very knowledgeable and highly-skilled! They are able to teach effectively and accommodate to various experience levels, abilities and learning styles. The lessons are very informative, and not only teaches them skills and techniques; but respectful discipline, confidence, community and a healthy way to release energy.
Great school for your kids and yourself for fitness ,self defense and learning variety of different martial art. Mr. Gruel and his whole team of instructors are great with kids and very knowledgeable/helpful. We are glad to be a part of Indiana Pit. Thanks for all you do for your students Sensei Gruel.
Excellent studio in all facets. Ownership and primary instructors are HIGHLY experienced as well as professional. There is no place that I would rather train and advance in rank. Absolutely recommended.
I have never enjoyed a workout as much as classes at Indiana Pit! Terry and all the trainers are so knowledgeable and encouraging. It’s a positive atmosphere where a novice like me can feel included despite starting my marital arts journey at 36. I have gained so much confidence in my abilities to defend myself and truly love it here!
My son has liked the training he gets. It built up his confidence and has been improving more of his character. The senseis (teachers) have been very helpful and professional. Mr. Terry and Carrie Gruel are very good people. They do more than just teach you self-defense, they make you a better person.
An AMAZING gym and an AMAZING group of people who own and commit to this gym!
Terry & Carrie go so far beyond training-they genuinely care about their students' health, safety & well-being in Martial Arts and in life. These two stepped up so much to support their students during the COVID19 issues by providing on line training, loaning equipment and purchasing equipment for students to keep. They care about their students!
THIS is the gym you want your child attending and THIS is the gym where you want to go for the best personal growth and development.
Terry Gruel and his instructor's are top notch. They are very knowledgeable and use a common sense approach to training. If you haven't trained there, you are missing out.
Great place to be, love the environment. Excellent equipment and training partners and great instructors. If you wanna learn martial arts this is the place to be.
My children have been students here for many years and there is a reason we keep coming back. I love that they care about my children’s overall development as people not just as martial artists. Terry and Carrie really have a love and heart for their students. They support them on and off the mat.
Everyone here is super helpful, and I made it to my Red Belt before taking a short break. I'll be back soon for sure, as these people have become family to me. Terry is an amazing instructor, he really knows how to get you to understand how to do techniques that you might have had an issue with. Not to mention he's incredibly friendly and understanding of injuries or things that may make you preform poorly at times. I just want to thank everyone at the pit, as I truly believe that you guys are family, and I'm ready for things to clear up so I can get back there. <3
