Corral's Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: As a minister, I really believe that there's a strong connection between physical and spiritual health. I haven't always been great at the physical health part of that. So, I decided to do something about it and walked into to Corral's. I have found Corral's Martial Arts to not only enhance my physical health but my spiritual health as well. Through the wonderful instructors here, I've already found myself doing things that I didn't think I could do in a short amount of time. I feel better than I have in ages and in a highly demanding and stressful vocation, I find that it is much easier to be the calm in the middle of the storm. I find my stress levels greatly reduced and my focus greatly enhanced thus allowing me to be a more effective pastor and, more importantly, a more present and loving father to my 4 children at home. I've studied Martial Arts off and on throughout my life but have never felt more inspired and more encouraged than I do by the teachers and students at this school and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: We found Corral's Martial Arts after having a not-so-wonderful experience at another local school. Braulio the owner, was very welcoming and understanding to our situation. He was kind enough to offer and provide an affordable family plan which included my entire family, my wife and I included, training in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do. The one thing I appreciate is the multiple classes throughout the week that provide more than enough options for scheduling as well as additional training for us while our kids are in another class. Finally, anyone considering BJJ but considers themselves 'too old' or out of shape is simply misinformed. I have had three arthroscopic surgeries and have limited mobility with one knee. The instructors are second to none providing effective alternatives to the techniques and all the while ensuring my well being during training time. The training itself is an excellent source of self-defense, low impact cardio and flexibility training. I highly recommend Corral's for anyone looking for a 'kid friendly', family orientated place that provides high quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do training. Ambrose R

Fantastic experience: Joining Corrals Martial Arts is one of the best decisions I have made in a while. I am actually disapointed in myself I did not do it sooner than I did. I tried to get my friends that always said they wanted to do it to go with me because I did not want to join by myself, but they always had some excuse. I decided to go and join by myself and was allowed to try class for free to see how I liked it because he wants to make sure you are making the right decision and not wasting your money. Everyone I have met there are really nice and make you feel like family. They make sure you are always safe and are everyone there is willing to teach someone new because that is how they started. Martial arts gives you so many benefits. It gives you confidence, conditioning, self defense, and good friends. I am a personal trainer and have been working out for over 10 years and this is by FAR the best workout I have ever had! If you are even thinking about joining or trying it out I recommend you to. I know I am glad I did!

Fantastic experience: I have been practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Corral's Martial Arts for a little over a year. They are by far the premier martial arts school in this area. The instructors at Corrals are very friendly and beyond knowledgeable in their respective disciplines. As a lawyer, my job can be stressful at times. Coming to Corrals after work and learning new techniques is a great way to relieve stress and get in shape at the same time. Since working out at Corrals Martial Arts I have lost over 20 pounds. Whether you are looking to get in great shape and join the competition team or just come in and learn something new every day, Corrals Martial Arts is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: We signed up our son, to help with his lack of being able to focus, in school, at home etc. Since starting Corral's about 6 months ago, our son's attention span has dramatically improved. He still needs to be refocused here and there, but he responds quicker when told to do something. I believe the focus and discipline he learns at his classes every week, help him with his every day life. He enjoys being part of a group and wants to learn more and more, so in order to advance in class, he has to work hard and listen, which is why I like him attending classes. He has a new self confidence and it is really great to watch him succeed at what he is putting his mind and effort to. The families that go here are wonderful and our son enjoys being around all the other children. They all try to help each other with forms and it's actually pretty friendly when it comes to competition in class. I would recommend this academy to anyone who is looking to sign their child up, or even for themselves. The instructors are very easy to talk to and want your child to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Hello!!! I have been a student here for almost 6 years now. I enjoy my classes here very much. Even with all my school work I have had to miss many classes but I am still excelling very well/fast. The instructors are wonderful and take great care of their students. Braulio Corral(owner) is one of the best instructors around! At Corral's we are all one big happy family! Yes we all have our share of injuries but it kills us to not be out there with our teammates. Once you get there in this great atmosphere for martial arts the mat is exactly where you want to be. I have met many of my best mates here and we continue to grow as a family every class. This is absolutely a great place to learn mixed martial arts. ~Red Belt, Amber Kubiak

Fantastic experience: My (almost 14 yo) son has been in karate for the past 6 years, and excelled to a brown belt. He had been bugging me to try a new form of martial arts. So I contacted a friend of mine (who studied here) & it came highly recommended by several of my police friends. After speaking with sensei B, and Ryan trying the class the first night, (which was BJJ) my son was really excited to start this new journey in his life. It is such a positive environment with constant praises when students do things correctly & if they dont, someone (whether an upper belt student or a sensei) is there to help. anyone who has a teenager that has studied other martial arts and is a high rank knows where I'm coming from when I say it can be discouraging for a kid to "start over" and be a white belt in a new art. That was something my son was not thrilled about until he got there & tried it. He now is looking forward to trying out all of the MMA that Corrals has to offer. It's been about 3 months & he loves BJJ & last night tried kickboxing & loved it. I highly recommend this type of environment as well as the teaching skills. They offer unlimited monthly (which is what we have) and offer training of all ages at 2 locations 7 days a week! I know myself, as a parent, looks for positive influences for my son to be around. This is a great place!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here for over 5 years and I love it. Sensei Braulio Corral is a great instructor and mentor to his students. There are several high ranking students in class. Everyone is willing to help out and answer questions about techniques and different positions. I previously trained at a competitor's school and the level of instruction at Corral's is far superior here. I have made many friends over the years here and I will continue to train here for many more years to come!

Fantastic experience: What a great family oriented place! Our family of 5 attends Corrals and are able to even practice together. Since we started in October we've learned many self-defense moves, taekwondo and even some jiu jitsu Sensei Braullio and Sensei Dale ensure you are learning and having fun. You will not find a more family oriented martial arts facility. We have started the adult taekwondo classes and could not be more pleased with how well we are training and learning.

Fantastic experience: Best instructors ever great place for your kids

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love this school! My kids have learned so much, and enjoy their practices, and competitions, a great Family oriented school, who take the time to teach a curriculum to keep the kids focused and disciplined. Our kids do taekwondo and jiu jitsu and we are so thankful to each and every instructor!!

Fantastic experience: Great school, great instructors, technical curriculum that keep kids focused and disciplined. All five of my children love working here and look forward to each class.

Fantastic experience: The instructors really take great care of the young students. They’re patient, kind yet firm with the lessons. I would really suggest Sensei Martin and Sensei Joyce for the Taekwondo class.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience for kids of all ages! We just signed up a little over a month ago. I could not be more impressed with this place. All the instructors are amazing and helpful. My kid loves the classes and is super energetic and motivated to attend! Great job Team Corral!

Fantastic experience: I'm a new student at CMA and really like the overall atmosphere of the academy. Braulio is a motivator and great instructor. At my first class I was paired with a great partner who assisted me with learning a beginners move and drilled it over and over. One of the things I like the most is the way the other advanced members take the time to point out things I did well, or wrong while training. Everyone is so laid back and willing to work with me being that I'm a new student. No one is out to show you up. Rather they're there to make me better and learn the basics. I would encourage anyone on the fence about training BJJ to come in for the free class and give it a try. The benefits are worth the cost of membership. No matter what age you are, it's never too late to learning and train at Corral's Martial Arts Academy. Your body will be soar but the feeling of accomplishment will ease the discomfort. I look forward to each and every class, even when I'm tired and feel like relaxing I feel so much better after attending class and rolling with my brothers. I highly recommend this academy and look forward to seeing you join us for training!!

Fantastic experience: Team Corrals, Braulio and the rest of the coaches have been like family to us and our kids. The coaches have been excellent mentors and teachers and we look forward to many more years of jiu-jitsu and taekwando. World class gym

Fantastic experience: Corrals Martial Arts is the elite school for Brazilian jiu-jitsu in the area. I’ve been attending classes for a little under half a year, and I can already tell my technique is improving. The instructors are world class and extremely patient with the students. I highly recommend if you’re interested in learning jiu jitsu you come to this academy!

Fantastic experience: When we moved here a little over 2 years ago we shopped around and tried several free trials of different martial arts places. None of them compared to Corral's. Do yourself a favor and just come here first! Hubs is federal law enforcement and cannot recommend the quality of training enough. We're moving out of the area and will greatly miss the team!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Brought my 7yo son there for a free trial and was extremely impressed. The instructors were great with the kids. The regular students were very disciplined and amazing when working together with my son. A top notch academy!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I brought my daughter here a little over a year ago hoping to find a good school for her to continue her tae kwon do training, almost immediately we discovered not only was it an exceptional school ran by an exceptional owner, but was so much like an extended family that our daughter looks forward to her four days of training per week with pure joy. She has become a great little fighter in BJJ and really improved markedly in her Tae Kwon Do. All of her instructors are fabulous and very conscious of a young child’s fragile personality. I could not hope for nicer people and a more pleasant environment than Corrals martial arts. Thank you so much for your dedication to your students.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: We started taking our son here back in October because he was getting bullied on the bus. He was a little reluctant at first, having no experience with athletics or self defense, but the staff and other students were so welcoming and inclusive we were immediately at ease. So much so that myself and my wife started taking adult classes. Our son has grown in confidence and discipline more than we could have hoped.

Fantastic experience: We wanted to find a sport great for our daughter to get her out of her shell and a little more aggressive. Learning with Team Corral in such a short period of time (4 months) we have watched her become stronger and more confident. The Brazilian jujitsu instructors at Team Corral push the kids to work hard but also make it fun in the process.

Fantastic experience: My 2 boys and I have been training here for over 5 years. As a 53yr old man (old man!), I know training at Corral's has dramatically improved my fitness, increased my confidence, and improved my life overall. The Jujitsu at Corral's is the best in the area. The atmosphere is welcoming to all, children, women, men, young, old. My kids are now 11yrs, I believe that this training has helped them become strong, coordinated, confident, respectful and kind. Both my boys are straight A students, student console president and vice president, and excel at other sports as well. This is a direct result of training at Corral's. The attributes they are building at Corral's will serve them well. We are grateful to have such a place to train.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for anyone looking to find a hobby, get in shape, compete, or simply just have fun. Been training under Braulio for 15 years. He was a pioneer of the sport in NWI and builds lasting friendships. Some of my best friends were met here on the mats. Also, recently started my kids BJJ journey here at Corral’s as well and looking forward to another 15+years!

Fantastic experience: As a 45 year educator, I enrolled my 10 year old great nephew after researching Corral. After observing most Taekwondo classes over the past five months, I have found instructors Dale, Bill, and Braulio to model not only the proper forms and kicks, but also to develop self-discipline, respect, and work ethic. My great nephew is more focused, stronger, and displays more confidence in his interactions at school and in class. They work well with children, having the proper balance of encouragement and discipline. They provide individual help when needed. Enrolling at Corral has been an excellent investment in building my nephew’s strength, confidence, and character. I would recommend Corral without hesitation to parents.

Fantastic experience: My son has been training at Corral for several years and has benefited in so many ways. The instructors are experienced, work well with both kids and adults, and the place is clean. I'd highly recommend to anyone that's interested.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Corral‘s Martial Arts for three years now and I have to say it is the best school around. I have visited many schools & his training area is by far the largest and cleanest I have seen so far. Professor Corral has created an environment that is comfortable & extremely professional. His attention to detail, willingness to answer questions, & focus on his students are second to none. If you want to learn self defense, lose weight, or simply do something to do in your spare time you won’t find a better place.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at the CMA for a few weeks now and absolutely love it!! I’ve been to other gyms but this is by far the best. I have learned an exceptional amount already and all the coaches are amazing! They are very attentive especially with technique. Everyone is super patient, and humble! It’s really just overall an awesome environment to be apart of and I would encourage everybody to definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: I signed my children up in October after moving to Munster. Coming to a new school, my children were shy and not very confident. After a month of doing the jiujitsu classes, a dramatic change happened with their personalities. They were becoming more confident and excited about the changes. Coach Braulio, Coach Bre, and Coach Nick care so much about their children and watching them grow, guiding them through life. The discipline learned on the mat does not stay on the mat. These are life skills that they are teaching these children. This is an amazing program ran by the most genuine, amazing people.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Corral’s Martial Arts. My son and daughter take classes at Corral’s. The instructors are very patient with young children and kids who are just starting out with the program. I appreciate how they encourage kids to do their best and focus on self-improvement. My son has learned important lessons about self-control and the need to work hard to achieve results. My daughter loves to compete and is so excited to master new skills she learns from their highly qualified instructors. Sensei Braulio is a class act all the way. If you’re looking for a martial arts school for your children, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: There is no question that this is one if the greatest Academy's out there. My kids have been in the jiu-jitsu and takewondo program for 3 years and we all love it! My 5 year old says, "I like it because it's fun and I love the relay races. Jujitsu makes me tough and I'm proud I got a silver medal at competition ". We are so happy with the advancement and the sense of achievement our children feel is priceless. Everyone is so great at what at they do and everyone there respects and admires the incredible team of coaches and Sensei's. Simply the best.

Fantastic experience: The best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in NWI bar none! The instructors are top notch, continuously researching and bringing information back to the students. There are constantly high level visitors from across the country which gives students the opportunity to work with players at the top of the game. The school has something for everyone, whether you want to compete, lose weight or self defense. Whatever your goals, the instructors are there to help you surpass them! I have been a member for many years and love the family friendly environment as well as the push to improve and grow. Well worth the investment as a healthy life style should be a way of life.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training in At corral’s For 3 1/2 years now. You will not find a better, mire knowledgeable set of instructors anywhere. And all of the members are friendly and welcoming. I’m in the best shape physically and mentally that I’ve been in In a long time. If your looking for a great place to train, learn and get healthy this is the place

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with excellent professionalism and knowledge, Team Corral is the place to go. The environment is very welcoming for men and women of all ages and skill levels. The instructors are very attentive to make sure you are learning not only correctly, but safely. All the teammates I have met will also make you feel comfortable and help advance your skills. Not only will you be learning new skills and building confidence, but you will also love the endorphins that come with the physical work.

Fantastic experience: I first walked into Corral's Martial Arts over 7 years ago and thankfully I have been there ever since. My journey with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been a great experience and I am very grateful to be at a school which nurtures your progression through the art. The academy utilizes modern teaching techniques, both in person and online, which are laid out through a curriculum to ensure that you are constantly moving in the right direction. Through those teaching methods, hard work, and the abundance of quality training partners, you will surprise yourself at how well you do on the mats. The CMA academy yields alot of quality talent, all the way from white to black belts, and over the years everybody has been become like family!

Fantastic experience: CMA has a great atmosphere and the instructors (and students) are eager to help. I don’t see a ton of egos which is awesome because it’s a humbling enough experience being the new guy in a BJJ gym without having to deal with negative personalities. It’s a very cool culture in that building. Well done! Braulio is a great teacher and very welcoming. Also, I wanted to mention that Paul, Andy, and Tony are all great guys and instructors.

Fantastic experience: My son and I have been looking for a good place to train since we moved to NWI. There are a few reasons that I decided to stick with Corral's. This place is such an awesome environment for my son. They have an awesome kids program with a really great structure. They have videos you can view online to help you review the curriculum from home. They have everything laid out for me in order to help my little man advance in the program. The skills needed to advance through each stripe and belt are laid out ahead of time so you can maximize your training. The adult program is also top notch and I everyone I train with is very nice and welcoming. The gym is also very clean. I am grateful to have a found a new home to continure my jiu jitsu journey.

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending the BJJ classes for almost a year now. He was always reluctant to sports in general, especially because it doesn’t come naturally to him. It took him a few months to get the hang of it, but I’m so glad we stuck with it. He absolutely LOVES going. The instructors are supportive and encouraging, and all the students are awesome teammates. They have fun, work hard, and support one another. As a parent, it’s SO nice to have your kid dragging YOU to their activity, and not the other way around. I highly recommend this.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Corral's for almost 2 years. In my time here, my life has improved in all areas due to the mental and physical benefits of jiu jitsu. The professionalism and high level of instruction I am very thankful for. I live about an hour away and still make it in to train at least twice a week. Very comfortable and clean atmosphere, and multiple people training st every belt level will always help you out. If you're even thinking about getting into jiu jitsu, just take the dive and come check out one of Corral's 2 locations. You definitely won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for doing what you do, so well. I’ve experienced another school in the Schererville area, and Corral’s is the superior choice. Both of my kids, Addi (10) and Jax (7), love Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do at Corral. The instructors are masters in the art and excellent at teaching it. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is very structured and easy follow. The requirements and skills achieved are trackable on any smart-device. The students are able to watch videos to help perfect their skills and accelerate their learning. My kids are confident and strong. Thank you Corral Family.

Fantastic experience: We have been bringing our 7 year old son to Corral's Martial Arts for four months now. He goes to the Scherrillville and Portage location five days a week to learn Taekwondo and Jiu-Jitsu. It's amazing to see his transformation in respect, strength, courage and self confidence. He loves to go to class everyday and it's never a struggle to get him to go. All the Instructors go above and beyond to teach each and every child. We love our Corral Martial Arts family and plan on being with them for many more years!

Fantastic experience: This is a really good place to train. I come here every time I visit family in Indiana and everyone at Corral's is just great. There are always at least five black belts on the mat and they all take time to roll with you and help you out with your game. No one goes ape on you during sparring and colored belts are willing to share what they know even if its something they picked up in a seminar. You'll definitely get some good rolls in and make new friends here.. I did.

Fantastic experience: Corral's Martial Arts in the best in the business. My son has been studying there since March. Every single one of the instructors have a patience that cannot be matched! They use iPads to maintain documentation of student's achievements/requirements. Parents have access to their children's "report card" so that they and their children can monitor progress from home as well. They also post videos to show the requirements for each rank that the student is working on so that they can view and practice at home. We truly feel so blessed to have found Corral's!!! If you are looking, this is the place for you!!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: My daughter first started training here about three years ago. Now she's a national champ! What a difference it's made in her strength, agility and self-confidence. The coaches are among the best in the Midwest and really invested in the success of their students. This led me to start training as well. I can't say enough about the quality of the people who train here. Higher belts are eager to teach and help those just starting out. No egos. We call it a "team" but it definitely feels more like a "family."

Fantastic experience: We have been taking our grandson Dominic there helping out our daughter and son in law sometimes with their schedule. The teaching there is fantastic they are great with kids. The parents are super. I would highly recommend this school for martial arts. Braulio the owner is great with how he interacts with both parents and the kids. Great school.

Fantastic experience: Started taking my 4 year old son in November. At first I was worried because he is smaller then the other kids but also because he was becoming a (fournager) and not listening to mom and dad at all . 6 months later, it's like night and day. He is respectful and very focused. His pre school teachers have also noticed a changed at school. He helps other children and very is attentive. I just want to thank all the instructors at Corrals Martial arts. We plan to be part of Corrals Martial arts family as long as we can.

Fantastic experience: Corral's Martial Arts is TOP NOTCH!!! Sensei Braulio and his highly proficiant staff have been AWESOME with my kids! Before enrolling my kids at Corral's, I looked at other schools in the area. Needless to say, My wife and I are pleased with our decision to choose Corral's. There are so many class times availble for Teakwando and Jiu-jitsu that even the busiest of families are acommodated.We enjoy the growth we've seen in our kids . Our boys truly look forward to going to class .While in class they learn discipline and vital skills in protectig themselves .Our kids have gotten much more than we pay for at Corral's. All in all this school is AWESOME! !!!

Fantastic experience: My granddaughter has been with Corral's the last nearly 4 yrs. We enjoy the great family atmosphere there. She continues to learn from the best . They are the most dedicated and respected staff . The best school of Martial Arts in the area, hands down.
