Chris Howe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"I brought my 6 year old son to Chris Howe on the heals of the lockdown. I needed something for him to do to burn some energy and I thought martial arts might be something we could do together. I was a little hesitant getting in the mat as I didn’t know what to expect. Four years later it has become a part of our life and we look forward to class every week. My son (now ten) is excited to bring his younger brother into the fold and we are all having a blast. Chris and Justin are a wealth of knowledge in the sport and the kids coaches are amazing. Shout out to Jonas, Gidon, and Jeremy! I highly recommend to anyone on the fence to come and give it a try."

"My sons are attending kids jiu jitsu classes and I could not be more impressed with the instruction they receive from Chris and the rest of the instructors. Chris offers a welcoming, safe environment that makes the classes fun while putting an emphasis on properly teaching fundamentals. My kids have learned so much in a short period of time, and they genuinely look forward to attending the classes. Thanks Chris!"

"If you've ever considered trying BJJ but felt a bit intimidated, this is the place for you. Chris Howe is not only the best coach in Indiana but also one of the most approachable and patient instructors I've come across. From the very first day, I felt welcomed by both the coaches and the students. Everyone here is committed to building a strong, supportive community. For beginners, BJJ can seem overwhelming at first, but Chris and his team do a phenomenal job of breaking down the fundamentals. They take extra time to ensure newbies feel comfortable, giving personalized attention whenever needed. I was worried about keeping up, but Chris's structured approach to teaching made it easy to follow and progress at my own pace. Plus, any questions or fears I had were addressed right away with patience and understanding. Common questions like “Is BJJ too intense for beginners?” or “Do I need to be in great shape to start?” are answered every day on the mats. No matter your fitness level, age, or experience, Chris and the team will help you build the skills and confidence to succeed. The best part? It’s more than just a workout — it’s a family. Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger, learn self-defense, and become part of an amazing community!"
