From the reviews
If you want to learn to fight (for real) or get in shape or lose a few pounds, or just meet some cool ppl, this is the gym to go to. They have lots of class times to choose from, coaches that will push you but are also super friendly and down to earth, and their prices beat any other boxing / fighting gym.
This is Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Coaches are attentive and patient with new comers, and their competitive levels are incredible. I would recommend this gym to anyone! Owner is super down to earth and an all around great guy!
It was good. My son appreciated the workout he got while attending the boxing class. Price is great for the class. Can use some cleanup, but no one said boxing is a clean sport!
I go to this gym, coaches are very helpful when it comes to learning form and proper motions. coaches are on you at all times, helping you push pass your limits, coaches go beyond, plus they're ultra respectful for all
New to BJJ? Start at Indy Boxing and Grappling
Indy Boxing and Grappling comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Indy Boxing and Grappling
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
