Our 8 year old son trains here. After class, he is a sweaty mess with a huge smile on his face. He tells us that rolling is his favorite activity and he can't wait until the next class to do it again. He's an only child, so it makes my husband and I glad to know that he is able to roll with other kids considering he lacks that in a sibling. My husband and I are not in the class, but you can tell there's a strong feeling of family here. We are very happy with this gym! Thank you to Rob and the team that runs it.
Posted 9 months agoSuper fun and a great teacher, went there for a field trip and had one of the best times there
Posted 10 months agoMy family and I cannot be happier with this gym. I have received so many tips personal to my grappling game that far outweighs what I have paid in dues. The Forge has taken responsibility for each person I have referred and made them all feel welcome. A lot of clubs leave out the importance of a good “welcoming committee”. The coaches and owner of The Forge have not. Highly recommend for your striking and grappling pursuits.
Posted 1 year agoI have trained with this organization a few times. This gym is one of the best I have seen in the USA. I think Rob and his family understand how to treat people and care for your safety better than most. This is a family of protectors and you should train with them as soon as you can. Peter E

Posted 1 year agoThis is my first time learning combat sports and it has been an encouraging experience. The trainers are incredibly passionate about their respective disciplines and the community of people at Forge are kind, patient, and a lot of fun.
Top notch in techniques, if I was to ever fight again I’d be planted here! But my career is over and I’m really impressed with how Rob not only teaches techniques but also teaches life lessons! Semper Fi
My favorite field trip was then my glca class went here. It was very fun and I felt like I actually got something out of it.
Loved taking classes here. I learned a lot about technique but also how to be much more aware of my surroundings. Great classes for individuals and families. Would recommend and want to attend again.
The instructors are amazing, empathetic, and kind. I'm overweight, and there is no shaming at all. Very informative and very easy to learn for a newbie! This feels like a second family to me! There's no ego, all it is, is hard work ethic and determination. :) -Tracy Wells
You know I only been in the forge for a month, and so far it is by far the best decision I have made. This journey that I decided to share with this family to become a better version of myself is very welcoming and helpful. Everyone who trains especially the trainers are phenomenal. All is worth it trust me!!!!
The training center is great. The trainers are dedicated and effective at teaching any one, at any skill level, willing to put in the effort. Good training, good people, and a good time.
There's numerous different martial arts being offered here, all of which are lead by knowledgeable, friendly people. There's a range of monthly plan options and merchandise at reasonable prices. Definitely would highly recommend coming here.
Had been looking into this place for a while before finally convincing myself to try it out, which ended up being an amazing choice. Everyone there is super friendly, and I had a great time and continue to do so. Instructors and students alike made me very comfortable, which was one of my biggest concerns. The Forge continues to exceed my expectations!! 11/10.
Excellent gym, fantastic coaches and really makes you feel part of the family. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
I can't recommend this gym enough. It really does feel like home. The community is awesome. I've met so many great people here. All encouragement, no ego. The instructors are very good at what they do. I can't say enough good things about Rob. I've learned and improved so much here since I started and am excited to keep doing so for as long as I can. This place has done wonders for me not only physically but mentally. It's a blessing to be a part of this community. Seriously love you guys.
Great atmosphere, friendly fun learning experience.
Great place. Pushes you to do your best. Ppl are nice too
Good trainers, very friendly and close community. A lot of different activities and disciplines to train in.
Great gym. Everyone is humble and willing to learn from and teach each other. I saw great improvement in my striking after coming here a lot.
This place feels like home. You get the best of the best coaching in multiple arts, and you gain a family in the meantime. It is very affordable, without sacrificing the value of training. They do an amazing job of accommodating all skill levels, and helping you grow from wherever you are at. I'm a huge fan of The Forge and all the people I've met there. 10/10.
Great instructions, very knowledgeable instructors. Perfect curriculum. Family environment, no attitudes. Very welcoming
Got a chance to go train at the Forge for a few days while in town. It was a fun and amazing experience!! The owner Rob was very opening and knowledgeable! It was a family filled atmosphere! A great place to take yourself and your kids to get the right self defense training you need!! I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this place!! Thanks, Jay
If you're looking to live healthier and build healthy relationships, getting out of your comfort zone, learning self-defense , or learning a form of mixed martial arts, The Forge is a great place to be!
If you're looking for a place to learn some applicable self defense, you have found it! Rob is a fantastic instructor and brings in talent from around the world to give you the best knowledge and skill he can. Family friendly place and there are plenty of options for different types of martial arts!
Signed up looking for applicable self defense and find a good teacher. Rob is an excellent teacher, and the community is outstanding. Everyone is welcoming and there is no judgement. Men, Women, and children are all treated with care and respect. I look forward to being part of this community and learning from everyone there.
Absolutely the best place for Krav Magra in Lafayette Indiana definitely recommend it for kids and adults...
We were searching for a place where the encouragement was high and the ego was low and we found it! Rob is extremely knowledgeable and works well with every age. There is a great family atmosphere combined with extensive knowledge in martial arts. My teenage son and I are able train together with the availability for growth physically and mentally. We are very thankful for The Forge in our community!
Awesome Classes!! Wow! The Instructors are know there stuff. This is the place to go if you want to learn how defend yourself. Insane workout too. If i could give them 10 stars i would do that. Instructors Rob and Matt are extremely welcoming and actually care about my success in training. They don’t just look at me as a dollar sign.
Instructor was very Knowledgeable and took time to answer questions to the full extent
Quit your karate classes and come here instead. You won't find a martial art with more real-life application. The guys who run the classes are good folks. Just ask them if there's anything specific you're looking for.
Hands-down the best pricing for a family plan in the area. The instructors are very good and are excellent with kids. My son loves attending family classes with me. Classes are focused on practical street application and combine strength, conditioning, and technique training. They are also very good at helping you adapt and build on things you may have learned elsewhere.
Awesome teachers and awesome classes! Such a good workout while learning really valuable skills. You've got to try it!
