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.
They make you feel right at home and they are patient. So glad I signed up
Incredibly welcoming atmosphere. Not intimidating at all. Fantastic!
My son is going since 6 for the last four years. The results are awesome from fitness, technique and behavior perspective. He loves it!!!!

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.
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 […]
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. While […]
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 […]
Both in school and in life, kids need to learn how to work well with others. While they’re young, they must collaborate with fellow students on group projects – and play with them at recess. And when they grow up, they’ll need to know how to work with colleagues and clients to build success. You […]

Will studying martial arts make my child aggressive? I want to address one of the most common questions I get from parents about enrolling their kids in martial arts classes. They worry – and you may too – that putting their kids in a martial arts classroom will teach them that fighting is the best way […]
Summertime is coming to an end, and with that comes all of the back to school anxiety and jitters that are common amongst children.

They will also experience emotional stress from the fear […]
Endorphins are natural chemicals produced in the body to reduce pain and boost happiness. They are most often associated with exercise since the release of these “feel-good” chemicals cause a state of euphoria and is usually known as a “runner’s high.” However, most any exercise will cause this state of happiness and it is also […]
We all love to see our kids excel in everything they do. There is no doubt that when kids finally nail their form, or fly across the mat and break a board; everyone involved shares a sense of accomplishment. BUT it is only a matter of time before our ninjas come across something that challenges […]
