Corral's Martial Arts - Self defense school in Schererville - 820 Cedar Pkwy, USA

We sign our son up this January 2023, to help our son encourage self-confidence, discipline, self defense, mental, physical development. And honestly the best decision we made. Corral’s Sensei’s are exceptionally trained professional especially dealing with our young kids. The passion they have training and teaching, patience, self discipline and determination to have this young students learn the techniques! Absolutely loving the family Corral! And so proud to be part of team corral! Much respect!

Dropped in to a Jiu-Jitsu open mat while I was visiting family for the holidays. I was immediately greeted by the owner, staff, and regulars and welcomed in to train. This is a fantastic gym with a very professional and respectful culture. Without question, I will be returning here to train and will recommend this gym to anyone. Thank you to everyone for the great session! 🤙

We joined the Corral's Martial Arts family a little over three years ago, and this establishment has completely exceeded our expectations! All three of our children have not only been provided with the skills to grapple effectively, but most importantly the confidence to hold their own. The environment and atmosphere has fostered lifelong friendships that we are grateful to have in our lives!

I have 5 boys, ages 4-9 years old. We love it here! I appreciate the structure and organization. They give the opportunity to participate in tenements. This motivates my boys to set goals and give it their best.

Corrals is a great place to train whether you’re new or experienced. I was new to BJJ and was very pleased with the variety of skill levels that I was able to roll with and learn from.

I enrolled my son in the kids BJJ & Taekwondo program, and I must say, it has been an incredibly positive experience. The instructors have created a learning environment that perfectly balances care, dedication, knowledge, and just the right amount of toughness for children. One of the standout qualities of the instructors is their genuine care for the well-being and progress of each child. From the moment we walked in, they welcomed us warmly, taking the time to get to know my child's strengths, weaknesses, and individual needs. Throughout the classes, they consistently provide encouragement, support, and guidance, ensuring that every child feels valued and supported in their journey. The instructors' knowledge and expertise in Jiu-Jitsu & Taekwondo are truly impressive. They possess a deep understanding of the martial art and skillfully impart their wisdom to the young students. They break down complex techniques into simple, digestible steps, ensuring that the children grasp the fundamentals while gradually progressing to more advanced moves. While Jiu-Jitsu & Taekwondo requires discipline and a certain level of toughness, the instructors strike the perfect balance in their approach. They challenge the kids to push their limits, encouraging them to persevere through difficulties and setbacks. However, they do so in a supportive manner, always considering each child's individual abilities and limitations. This approach helps build resilience, confidence, and self-discipline in the young practitioners. I highly recommend Corral’s kids program to any parent seeking a martial arts program that nurtures both physical and personal development in their child.

My son started training at Corral's Martial Arts several years ago. I would highly recommend everything about CMA -- the highly trained instructors who are committed to their students, the clean facilities, the friendly (I would really say family) atmosphere. There have been so many positive benefits for my son: the physical fitness, his developing self-discipline, his skill in Brazilian jiu jitsu, the friends he has made, being part of a team, and learning how to both win and lose. He has gone from a novice to competing at a national level in just a few years, which is amazing! Professor Braulio Corral is always coming up with innovative ways of keeping his students motivated; kids love having their jiu jitsu"report cards" linked to their smart devices -- and this makes them invested in the process and responsible for their own progress. There are fitness opportunities available for the whole family at CMA; rather than always sit and watch, I take the women's cardio kickboxing classes taught by Brianne Corral. Overall, our experience at CMA has been excellent!

In 2016, I started training Brazillian Jiu Jitsu to get healthy, learn something new, and make some new friends. What I discovered at Corral's Martial Arts was a family. Corral's Martial Arts is clean and friendly, and it's one the best Brazillian Jiu Jitsu schools in the Midwest. At CMA, everyone accepts each other right where they're at, and although the vibe on the mat is usually calm and casual, CMA regularly produces both kid and adult champions through a refined system of technique. The instructors at CMA each offer their own unique perspective on the core curriculum, and their new integrated app allows instructors to focus in on individual progress for each student. This progress tracking system is super helpful for setting goals, review and overall accountability. BJJ is giving me a safe way to face my inner fears, make real changes, and find balance in life. If you're on the fence about making a change, or if you're not sure if it's right for your kid, try Corral's Martial Arts. You won't regret it.
