Adult and kidos judo classes. This dojo doesn't not mess around when it comes to getting the sweat going. Techniques, conditioning, respect l, discipline and fun environment that pushes those starting out, as well as those who have been playing longer. (Photo credit to Providence Star Taekwondo)

I was traveling to Indianapolis for a short trip from New Jersey, searched for any local dojos to drop into. Carmel Judo was the perfect choice, Natasha responded quickly to my email and made my sessions enjoyable, and Sensei Jordan was a pleasure to meet. A competition focused dojo, hard training, detailed technical instruction, and an excellent facility. Highly recommended

Carmel Judo has been so welcoming to my daughters and I. The dojo feels like a family and the coaches are dedicated to your growth in judo skills. At 37, I never thought I would be confident enough to continue training, yet here I am ready for my first competition this month! This has been a great experience for my young daughters and I, and has given me so much confidence in my everyday life! Highly recommend this dojo!

If you are looking for a judo club seriously look no further. Carmel judo provides an environment designed for learning and has a mission of getting better every class. The instructors are very knowledgeable and welcoming to new and visiting students from white belts to brown. They also have always been open to exploring new techniques and how to appropriately apply them. Whether you are actively competing or learning a new hobby / self defense they have it all for you. By far the gem of this club is the vast amount of classes and times they offer. From 6 am morning sessions to classes after work they offer plenty of times for you to get to the mat. I cannot say enough great things about Carmel Judo please check them out they have earned all the praise!
