I was in town for a few days and was looking for a place to train.This gym was amazing.Clean mats, knowledgeable instructors, and an extremely friendly environment made this a memorable experience. I am thankful to have found this gym while in the area. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to put in some training with quality competitors and good people.Thanks for letting me stop in!

Found myself near Indianapolis and looking to get some training in while here. Couldn’t have asked for a better gym, better rolls, or cooler people! Alan, the owner and black belt, was welcoming and laid back, as were all the folks I met and trained with. Seriously, if you’re anywhere near Indianapolis and want some proper training, this is the place!

Ive visited many schools around the US and found that this school is top tier! Professor Stockman is a great instructor with a wealth of knowledge. His students are all high-level and technical. Everyone I met at this school was friendly and welcoming. The facility is really clean and the mats are amazing. Highly recommend this school to everyone.

Great place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Nice to know that you are being taught by a black belt.

If you’re in the indianapolis area this is the place you want to be. I moved to indy and visited a couple gyms before landing here. Wish i had come sooner. Allen is a great guy, and has a really cool approach and understanding of the art. The level of detail is unmatched at other gyms. The gym itself is extremely clean, and there is more space with both mats than most other gymsThere are a bunch of people at all belts and skill levels. (It’s pretty common to be able to roll with multiple black belts and brown belts.) Its as competitive as you want it to be, while still remaining a great laid back atmosphere. In my experience everyone has looked to help others out with their growth on the mat.If you’re considering going somewhere else, and you’re reading this review - Stop searching and come by...

Head instructor continues to improve himself by participating in tournaments. I welcome his no nonsense attitude and devotion to giving adults and kids alike the best training he can pack in every session. Other students and parents seem to agree that the assistant instructors are also great teachers of the sport.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Carlson Gracie Indianapolis while visiting Indianapolis. Professor Alan and his students were very inviting, he provided great training and his gym was spotless. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to get some quality jiu-jitsu training in. I will be dropping in whenever Im in Indianapolis. Thank you for having me.

Been training here for almost 2 years and I have never been more impressed. The team is amazing and Alan (the instructor) takes time to personally work with you 1 on 1 if you have any questions. I always recommend this place to my friends so if you want to learn about self defense I HIGHLY recommend this place.

I dropped in while traveling for work. Awesome instruction, and super friendly environment. A great place to train for adults or children. Highly recommend!!!

While traveling for work I dropped in for a couple of classes. The instruction was excellent and detail oriented. All of the students were welcoming as well. I had a lengthy layoff from Jiu Jitsu before attending classes and have had experience in the past of being targeted when coming in as a visitor but egos weren’t an issue and everyone did a good job of matching intensity. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a permanent gym or anyone looking for a gym while traveling to attend classes here. Thank you all for the hospitality.

Out of towner and dropped in for a class! Great instructors, beautiful gym and everyone was super friendly! Thanks for the roll!If you’re anywhere near this area you gotta check these guys out!

Visited Indy for the weekend, and thought about taking in a class for a Saturday afternoon. Spoke with the owner / head instructor, and was graciously welcomed into the club to learn, share and grow with the current students. Very friendly environment. Very welcoming members. Very cooperative culture. Very respectful individuals. As a visitor, or a local resident, I would start and end my search for a place to train with Alan and his school.

This gym is AWESOME!! Alan, the head instructor is very welcoming and a phenomenal Black Belt. The general ambiance of the gym is friendly and the students all help each other out. No egos here, and being new to the area, I was definitely glad to find such a great place to train. Thanks guys, keep up the good work!!

I was traveling in the Indianapolis area for work and stopped by the Carlson Gracie Indy gym to train. The owner and professor, Alan Stockman, was very welcoming and was more than happy to let me train there. The facility was very clean and well kept. All the students were welcoming as well as being good training partners. The Instruction was great. Ill look forward to visiting there again. 10/10, would definitely go back.

The welcoming atmosphere and camaraderie at this gym are absolutely amazing. Alan, the instructor, is always willing to help you learn and to answer any questions (no matter how many times you might need to ask the same one). The students are positive and friendly as well. I couldnt ask for a more knowledgeable, energetic group of people to train with.

Alan is an excellent instructor with years of experience teaching and training both in the United States and Brazil.Alan has a very detail oriented and personable teaching style that is sure to give his students a fantastic advantage in learning the art.I have known and trained with Alan for about 10 years and he has always had a passion for learning and professional when teaching.I am also a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and consider Alan one of my go-to guys that I like to discuss techniques and business on a daily basis.

Fantastic gym! Had a great time training here and meeting all the Indianapolis Carlson Gracie teammates. Such a welcoming environment and great instruction. Cant wait to visit again!

Did four drop-ins while on travel in Indianapolis. The owner, Alan Stockman, is the actual instructor, unlike some gyms where you never see the guy who has his name on the wall. Everyone was welcoming and helped me figure out the class routine since I dont train at a Carlson Gracie affiliate back home. Had good solid rolls including several with the instructor. Good, solid, old school Jiu-Jitsu.

If you are interested in training Jiu Jitsu this is the place to be. It is a great environment with top notch instruction. There are kids classes as well as adult classes. Check it out if you are looking for a place to start getting in better shape and learning some self defense and some self confidence.

Great place. I have all my kids (6, 8 and 11) in classes and they always seem to enjoy the instruction.

In regards to Quality, Carlson Gracie Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu is first rate! As a Black Belt; Alan’s vast knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu truly shows with each lesson. The attention to detail he puts into each session creates an atmosphere that is perfect for developing your grappling skills. Alan is a hands on instructor who works with his students to improve their BJJ technique. Regardless of your skill level, Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place to train.

I travel a lot for work, and have a chance to train at many BJJ gyms around the country, these guys are top notch and super friendly. Six out of five stars! Im already trying to book work trips as cover to train with these guys again.

Both my child and I attend classes at Mr. Stockmans gym. You are welcome whether you are are a experienced jiu jitsu player or someone interested in starting. We felt at home from the start. The gym is amazing and always clean! The instructors are always helpful and guide you through the process. Do not hesitate to come visit the gym if you are curious and want to learn more about jiu jitsu!

Ive been doing some form of martial arts for 10 years. Ive been fortunate enough to train at close to 10 different schools and have seen many different instructors over the years. Alan is truly amazing at what he does. Not only is he a fantastic practitioner of jiujitsu he is a spectacular instructor. The level of training and instruction I receive from Alan is second to none. Ive been going to Carlson Gracie Indianapolis JiuJitsu for almost 3 years now. As soon as you walk in the door you immediately feel welcome and part of the family. If you are in the area, or just wanting to try something new, I cant encourage you enough to stop in. See you on the mats.

I stopped into this gym while visiting from Wisconsin and had an excellent learning and training experience. I would highly reccomend to anyone in town or visiting to learn from this gym.

What a great place to take your child to learn the art of Jui-Jitsu. Alan is great with the kids and and takes time one on one to show proper techniques. My son is 11 and loves the class..

I was on a business trip to Indy from AZ and needed a Carlson Gracie gym to be able to train. I contacted Professor Alan Stockman via email for permission to attend his gym as a guest. His response was very quick and professional. He and his students welcomed me into the gym as if I had been training there already. He was always courteous and professional, and his method of teaching is easily understood and retained. If I ever return to Indy, I know where to go for good BJJ. OSS!

I go to train with Professor Alan Stockman when I am in town on business. His team is legit and he is a great instructor. All of his students are very respectful and really train with a great attitude. I recommend this gym to anyone interested in the area.

Ive been training Jiu Jitsu for 8 years. I dropped in for a night while visiting and it was a really awesome experience. I was welcomed by Coach Stockman and his team and got some awesome training in. I for one love that old school Carlson style Jiu Jitsu and Coach Stockman delivered in that regard.If youre in Indy you really have to give this place a shot.

I live in california and i am the assistant instructor at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Applevalley. I came out here for a funeral for a loved one. Without jiu jitsu i feel lost. But when i train I want quality and cleanliness. This gym is just that! It is for sure a great place to train, especially if you want to compete. They treated me very kindly and accepted me into their gym to train with no hesitation. The instructor is good and cares for his students. I highly recommend training here. Jiu jitsu can change your life. Just have to walk in the door ;)

Awesome place to train at, very welcoming. Thank you for letting me drop in for a class.

Great gym!

Excellent instruction for all ages. I began training here during a promotion and immediately felt welcome and was hooked on the art. Ive been a member since January. I have quickly learned more, advanced my skills, made new friends, and became significantly healthier. There are classes and times for all schedules and skill levels. If youre considering BJJ, strongly consider Stockmans!

Great instruction. Perfect for all levels -- From kids and hobbyists to serious BJJ/MMA competitors.
