Carmel Judo

Carmel Judo provides martial arts training and grappling education at 9450 Haver Way in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in a garage in 2019 before establishing its permanent Indianapolis dojo in 2022, the school serves students throughout central Indiana alongside a sister location in Bloomfield. Instruction centers on Dr. Kano's founding Judo Moral Code principles, emphasizing courage, respect, modesty, friendship, honor, honesty, self-control, and courtesy on and off the mat. The dojo was established by founder Jordan, who began wrestling at age four and later channeled his lifelong grappling experience into community instruction. He directs the academy alongside Head Women's Coach Natasha Wolf, who helped expand academy programming to ensure a supportive, small-group learning environment. Coaches emphasize technical detail, safe falling mechanics, leverage, and personal athletic development. The academy runs classes six days per week across both Judo and Jiu Jitsu disciplines. Programs feature Crawl Judo, Wolf Pups for ages three to five, Wolf Cubs for ages six to twelve, and combined Adult and Teen Judo and Jiu Jitsu, with new students receiving a two-class free trial.
