Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu Coach - BJJ Academy

“The coach is awesome, he is so great with the kids. My boys are learning so much, not just Jiu-jitsu but being part of a team, respect, and good sportsmanship!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

“I dropped in and trained for a class while travelling for work. There was a very hospitable, and welcoming atmosphere. The instruction from Marcello was excellent. Everyone I rolled and drilled with showed excellent technique and proficiency. Very tough competitors and confident in their skill set, all while showing great respect for their training partners. If you are looking for a top quality gym to train at in the Indy area, I strongly recommend this gym. Marcello and Jonathan appeared genuinely invested in their students' progress. I don't feel you could go wrong making the choice to train here!”

“My son has been a student for nearly 2 years and it has been a great experience. The studio is clean and atmosphere is very orderly which is so important given the techniques taught could cause injury without proper supervision. The kids get ample direct supervision and Mr Eldred ( Professor Greg ) teaches a fair number of classes himself. All the instructors are great with kids. Two years later my son is more confident and I believe much better equipped to protect himself if needed. I recommend this BJJ academy without reservation.”

“I met Marcello three years ago during one of his seminars and Marcello changed the way I trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is one of the best instructors I have met. I really enjoyed the great atmosphere and energy of the seminar. I visited his academy and was blown away but the high level of training. I also really enjoyed the company of his students in indianapolis, who made me feel very welcome and really helped me with my training from the the newest white belt to the oldest black belt they all were incredibly friendly and helpful.

“I had wanted to start training BJJ for the past few years, but I always had an excuse- work, time, money etc. I finally started doing some research about a few gyms in the Indianapolis area. I needed a gym that would accommodate my weekday schedule, have weekend classes, plenty of parking, close to the freeways, in a non Industrial zone, friendly students, and an experienced knowledgeable staff. I found everything at BJJ Coach Indy. Marcello is truly a world class instructor, he has students from South Africa to Brazil. He patently teaches the WHY in addition to the HOW. I was also impressed with the number to quality training partners available on any given day. Everyone at this club form the staff (Leo) to his senior students (Jon) are there giving tips on how to improve your techniques. My only regret is not starting a year ago.”
