WE HAVE OVER 20 YEARS OF MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE.
Here at Corral’s Martial Arts our students consist of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced. We offer classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Wrestling, and Female Kickboxing & Self Defense.
Corral’s Martial Arts’ first academy opened in 1997 at Azatos School of Karate located at the intersection of Rt. 41 and Rt. 30. Over the years we searched for a place to call our own and finally settled into 2 great locations in Schererville and Portage, Indiana. At our academy you will find students seeking martial arts training for many different reasons, therefore we focus on every person as an individual to help them accomplish his or her personal goals. Many of our students consist of kids, families, sport jiu-jitsu competitors, college students, local law enforcement, teachers, military personnel, and others.
At Corral’s Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is what we specialize in. Our academy is known for its technical ability on the mat and we have some of the highest ranking instructors in the region. All of our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts have been training for 10+ years and our academy is certified by the IBJJF International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OUR BLACK BELT INSTRUCTORS
All of our black belts have trained at Corral’s Martial Arts from white belt through black belt and are registered members with International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). These are important aspects for teaching a consistent curriculum to our students, as well as instruction by practitioners experienced in competing at tournaments. In addition to providing expert technical instruction, safety is always kept in mind and all instructors are CPR certified and undergo background screenings through SSCI, Southeastern Security Consultants, Inc., who specialize in background screenings for youth sports organizations.
