Carmel Judo: A Community of Growth and Strength

Where Tradition Meets Transformation on and off the Mat

Carmel Judo

About Our School

Carmel Judo connects all the positive aspects of Judo and martial arts. For starters, we provide a safe and fun environment that won’t force you into the toxic culture some dojos have. You are able to focus on just the numerous benefits of Judo, including helping children with attention span, confidence, and character development, all while learning self-defense. This includes our lessons from the Judo Moral Code, which teach children leadership skills through student involvement. Students also build trust and friendships on our mats (A key element since you throw each other around!) Do you want yourself or your child to learn these skills and sparring proficiency? Then join us and grow at Carmel Judo!

Our History

Carmel Judo comes from humble beginnings. After wrestling since the age of 4, founder Jordan finally started a dojo in his garage in 2019 with gymnastic mats. He left the garage, moving through different fitness centers, eventually leading to our current location on Halloween day of 2022, solely focusing on Judo. The journey for Jordan and Head Women’s Coach Natasha Wolf has shown them the impact they can have on their students. They’ve loved to see their students’ growth, leading to master degrees, law school, new jobs, and so much more. They continue their goal to change lives through Carmel’s safe environment for all that provides the best Judo instruction available.

My sons and I have been attending Carmel Judo for one year and love it. The coaches are excellent with children and beginners, and there is a lot of high level grappling experience to share with adults and more advanced players.

The gym really embodies the Judo spirit and feels like a community helping one another be better people.

I was traveling to Indianapolis for a short trip from New Jersey, and 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.

I started with zero martial arts or wrestling experience. It’s been a bit over 4 months now and I cannot express enough about how much I have learned. I’m so glad I took the plunge! The environment here is so welcoming. They are patient and supportive regardless of your experience. I wish I would have started sooner!
