I've trained in numerous gyms across all of Indiana and this is definitely the best martial arts facility in Carmel if not all of Indiana. Instructor George Nae and the rest of his staff are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help with any needs you might have. Clean facility, plenty of equipment, kick-ass workouts and everything you could ask for, what more could you want? Everyone in the gym is very supportive and welcoming. They also have a class for whatever you are looking for. Great place!
I started going to this place originally because they had a great trial promo for their MMA classes and they weren't too far away from home (~15-20 min). However, I and my wife have stayed due to the fact that owner and instructor Sensei George Nae and his staff have made this less of a gym/instructional environment but an inviting and fun dojo that verges on familial. Every time we come in, we are greeted with genuine happiness by staff and students alike and though we are trained in groups, George, Brian, and Zach will always come around to everyone to ensure they are performing correctly, essentially giving you one on one attention! Can't recommend these guys enough!
I first started coming to House of Martial Arts almost a year ago when I decided that I had to start becoming active. I originally went in to inquire about the Fitness Kickboxing program and was able to spend some time speaking with Sensei George Nae. After talking for a while about my goals and reasons for looking into the program, he suggested that the Martial Arts program might suit me better. I gave it a try and have not looked back since. The facility is amazing, the programs (Fitness, Martial Arts and Martial Arts for kids) are all well rounded and enjoyable but my favorite part is the sense of community here. The people are friendly, supportive and amazing. It makes it easier to stick to a goal for fitness or MA specifically when you have similar minded people who are working for the same things in your corner cheering you on. I would definitely recommend HMA for Martial Arts, Fitness, or kids programs.
Welcoming staff, instructors, and students/classmates combined with engaging classes in a well-maintained environment make for a truly great training environment, it has a real "family" feel.
We love it ! You all are doing an excellent job !!! Keep up the great work !
ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!! I have been searching for place for my son. He really needed to find a place that helped his mind and body. They gave him exactly what he needed. The program is intense in the best way. They have motivated and encouraged him every step of the way. Being the youngest of 4 has been a struggle and they are helping him work his way through it. I can’t say enough about how much they have done for my son. It has been worth every moment and every penny we have invested. I am very thankful for the changes I have seen in my son. It’s nice when people just understand a need and fill it?
I've gone here for a few weeks now, and I still love being there every time. I've done the fitness kickboxing classes and tried out the combat kickboxing and BJJ classes as well. As other reviews mention, it is an incredibly supportive and non-judgmental environment. I always feel welcome walking in, more so than any other gym setting I've ever been in. Prices are reasonable and the people are awesome!
If you want a workout to challenge yourself try this place out. I’ve moved and still try to come back when I am in town. Thanks for pushing me & helping me stay healthy.
Stopped in to train while in town for business. I must say I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff. It was only equaled by their friendliness and level of expertise when teaching classes. Definitely a top notch school.
Amazing instructors great fitness classes self-defense overall fantastic
Family. If you train here you become a part of a family. A community driving each other towards excellence.

We've been enrolled here for years. We now have two girls in their Kid's Program. They are amazing!
I've been taking kickboxing classes here for the past 6 months and have absolutely loved it! The facility is always clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful!
This place is so amazing! There are so many different styles of classes and for all ages! Go try it out!!!! You won't regret it!!!
This is truly the best place around. I love the staff and the environment. You'd be hard pressed to find another place like it.
Written by Brian Shotton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ, is a “grappling” martial art. While there are many standing techniques, it is primarily a ground-based system. It uses leverage and pressure to control your opponent. Once they are controlled, BJJ utilizes the application of chokes and joint locks to compel them to tap or submit. […]
Yes. Absolutely. In fact, the right cardio kickboxing program can help you get fit very quickly. Kickboxing is a timed workout where you, the kickboxer, throw a series of punches and kicks at a large, heavy bag. You usually don’t need to know any fancy combinations because the instructor will call them out. Even if […]
Whether drawn to the martial arts for self-defense so they can protect themselves against bullies or because they’ve seen Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee up on the big screen, kids want to learn karate. It is just that simple. But kids use karate as a catch-all term for all martial arts. For parents in central […]
By Jared Loper – https://www.jiujitsutimes.com/author/jared/ Not all black belts are created equal. Though to many practitioners of BJJ, a black belt may seem like such a faraway goal, and an arduous process to undergo, it will not equal some new, mystical level of grappling quality. A black belt does not suddenly create a master grappler. […]
There’s No Such Thing as ‘Quality’ Time When you’re too busy aiming for it, you miss the moments in front of you Ryan Holiday Credit: Richard Drury/Getty Images It’s one of those lines we throw out casually: “I want to spend more ‘quality time’… ” whether it’s with friends, with family, with your kids, or with yourself.

Every year, the American Heart Association celebrates Heart Month to raise awareness about heart disease and heart health. What you may not know is that martial arts are great for the heart.

Grade school can be quite the experience for any child. It is a place where a child not only learns academically but one where a child must learn to socialize and function in the world.

It can be hard to teach kids about the importance of honor. Every day, they see celebrities and other public figures behaving dishonorably – and if you want your child to learn why integrity matters, then signing them up for a martial arts class can help. Integrity is central to everything we do in our […]
Martial arts instructors talk about core tenets – things that dictate our behavior inside and outside of class. These are things that we teach our students. Their value goes far beyond martial arts instruction. In other words, these are life skills. There are five core tenets that our students learn. I’ll explain the first tenet […]
