I explored a few other gyms in the Indianapolis area before deciding on SoBro BJJ, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Walking through the doors for the first time can feel intimidating, but it’s a step well worth taking. The environment at SoBro BJJ is welcoming and supportive, and the initial challenge soon gives way to comfort as you continue training. Coach Kenny and the entire team embrace everyone with open arms, fostering a community that prioritizes learning and growth. If you come ready to learn and leave your ego at the door, you’ll find an outstanding place to train and develop your skills.

I walked into SoBro with no prior Jiu Jitsu experience looking to try something new. Kenny and everybody else at SoBro were all extremely welcoming and encouraging and I would highly recommend this place for those who are interested! The lessons are great and there's lots of availability for different class times.

Coach Rose is phenomenal. Never losing his patience, he instructs you in a way that makes sense for all skill levels. I cannot recommend this gym more. The other practitioners are welcoming and kind. The gym atmosphere is 10/10.

If you have never tried Jiu Jitsu then learn from my mistake and just start coming in today. I heard about it for years from various podcasts but always had an excuse to keep me from starting. I thought I didn’t have enough energy to exercise in the evening, I was nervous to get hurt, and I just didn’t know where to start having never done any martial art before. All that nonsense was blown away after just trying it out. I feel more energetic, less sore, and totally exhilarated after an hour or two on the mats in the evening. Showing up on the first day is the hardest part, but everyone at SoBro BJJ is extremely welcoming, so just come on in and get started. Starting at SoBroBJJ is the best decision I have made regarding my health, both mental and physical, hands down, period. Kenny, the proprietor, is a great instructor and he has built an awesome school with tons of friendly and helpful people. There are plenty of beginners as well as a good range of upper belts to roll with and learn from.

Been training at SoBro for a year now, everyone is super cool. You won't find a more welcoming gym. Kenny is a great coach that keeps class fun and will make sure you get plenty of rolls in. The mats are high quality, and the gym is super clean. Come try it out, you'll be glad you did!

I was new to the area but I had been training BJJ for about twelve years at this point, so I’ve been to a lot of different gyms. I enjoyed Sobro a lot. Kenny was super inviting, everyone was nice and welcoming, and zero sales pressure. He just let me come in a try it and decide if it was right for me. The class was two primary techniques and a lot of reps of each for about 40 minutes total. Then we rolled for about an hour and people were still rolling when I had to leave. I would highly recommend giving Sobro a visit if you’re looking for a good academy to train at to see if it’s a good fit for you.

I looked into so many other facilities in the Indy area before finding this gem! BJJ can be really intimidating when you first start out but the coaches treat everyone like family and are so incredibly motivating. Here are some reasons why I ended up going with SoBro rather than other facilities: 1. There is no contract! Coaches are not in it for the money. They are there to teach and also to get to know everyone! Such a welcoming environment. 2. Once class starts, there is no time limit. Stay as long as you want and roll with as many people as you want. Coaches will help teach you when it’s time to roll too and they promote a learning environment so everyone makes sure to help each other out 3. So many women! We even started a sisterhood group chat to keep supporting each other 4. Speaking of group chats, we all keep in touch through a private group app (optional to join). When I said it’s like a huge family, I meant it! 5. Facility is spacious, clean, and the mats are high quality! There’s a rumba running every night and mats are also cleaned after every roll. 6. There are opportunities to compete but this is completely optional and no one has ever been pressured to participate. If you do decide to participate, the coaches will help you all the way Thanks for an awesome experience, SoBro!

The gym atmosphere is like a family, coach encourages team social gatherings, the amount of upper belts continues to grow, there’s a female black belt and purple belt that help with instruction, and there’s a strong woman presence in general. The only reason I left is because I moved away from Indianapolis!

Coach Kenny is a blessing to the Indianapolis BJJ community. I’ve trained at four different schools now in my few years doing BJJ, and I have never found such a welcoming, tight-knit community. Everyone I met who trains here is super welcoming, fun to roll with, and there are some great athletes in the gym, all fostered by the genuine leadership and compassion of Coach Kenny. Definitely stop by this gym and give it a shot.

SoBro BJJ is the perfect place to start, return to, or continue your BJJ journey. The environment that Kenny has fostered is conducive to a competitive yet relaxed community where everyone feels like they belong while they learn by doing. Whether you cannot spell “jiu jitsu” or are new to the area and looking for a gym to call home, you’ll have a tough time finding a more welcoming place than SoBro. -Parking is a cinch -Provisional roll times beyond instruction caters to any schedule -Wide range of students so you always have a compatible partner What are you waiting for? Kenny’s SoBro BJJ is the place for you to train BJJ

SoBro has been an awesome experience. As a new member, I feel comfortable and respected among existing members. Everyone is there to help each other learn and grow personally. Kenny is a fantastic teacher. His learn by trial approach combined with his supportive and teaching oriented roll sessions, leads to a gradually and well paced learning experience. I highly recommend not just inquiring about SoBro, but coming and experiencing it first hand. You will not regret it!

Loved everything about SoBro BJJ: Great group of guys/girls who uphold what Jiu Jitsu is all about: humility. Kenny is a great instructor and you cannot beat the price for the quality training you’re receiving in return. Hoping to get back in the gym once my schedule clears up. Don’t be scared to give it a try, it’s a lot of fun.

SoBro BJJ offers a great environment to practice jiu-jitsu. Kenny, the lead instructor, listens and easily relates to the questions, issues, and talent base you bring into class to work with. I've tried other BJJ schools around the Indianapolis area. And while SoBro BJJ is smaller than many, the instruction and fellow students are all top notch.

You can’t ask for a better place or better people with which to train. Professional, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. Whether you’re new to the art or you’ve been at it for years, there is something for all levels here at SoBro Bjj.

Came into the gym to participate in a benefit roll for Joys House knowing little to no one. After just a short while, it felt as if I had been training with these people for years. The instructor, his family that trains at the facility, his students, and affiliates all really are top of the line human beings. Not only by training with instructor Ken Rose will you be learning high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but will also be surrounding yourself with a strong, caring, educational culture that will help you in everyday life.
