WE HAVE BEEN ON THE MATS SINCE 1997
Corral’s Martial Arts offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids, adults, and women at our Schererville and Portage, Indiana locations.
Since 1997, we’ve built our martial arts academy around technical instruction, a proven curriculum, and consistent progression on the mats. Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been shaped over decades through a respected lineage of instructors, giving students a strong technical foundation and a clear path to move up the ranks. From first-time beginners to experienced competitors, students learn through detailed instruction, live training, and coaches who understand how to develop each martial artist’s unique game.
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ground-fighting martial art developed around control, positioning, leverage, and submissions. Our BJJ classes in Northwest Indiana bring together people from all walks of life who want to train, learn, and keep improving on the mat. With academy locations in Schererville and Portage, Corral’s welcomes beginners, experienced students, and competitors alike.
KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program follows a specially designed curriculum created for young students. Kids learn self-defense, build confidence, and develop pride in their accomplishments on the mat. Corral’s Martial Arts has a strong youth competition team, with students who have earned major BJJ titles and continue to represent the academy at tournaments nationwide.
WOMEN’S BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Our Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program gives women a welcoming gym to learn how to protect themselves. BJJ teaches leverage, timing, and control while developing skills that carry into self-defense, fitness, and competition. Whether you are new or train regularly, Corral’s Martial Arts will challenge you to grow on and off the mats.
KIDS TAEKWONDO
Taekwondo is known for fast, technical kicks and precise movement. Our Kids Taekwondo program follows a dynamic curriculum that helps students build skills step by step through forms, striking, and controlled sparring. Each class builds on the last, helping young students strengthen their technique and continue progressing.
WE HAVE A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TEAM
Our martial arts academy is home to over 200 families, with both adults and kids, actively training.
Our students continue to achieve results at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments at the local and international level. Corral’s is home to youth IBJJF World Champions, along with many more students who have earned podium finishes through training and competition. Our adult competitors have also found success across a range of IBJJF events. Below, we highlight some of the accomplishments our students have earned throughout their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey.
I became a student at Corral’s a few years ago and love it! There is a great balance of a professional and personable atmosphere combined with mentorship and guidance by fellow students. As a family therapist, I see the positive impact that the instruction and coaching has on children and teens. It is evident that Braulio Corral, owner and lead instructor, has developed a training method that inspires children to find their own inner strength, facilitating positive peer interactions while also promoting performance at a competitive level.

In searching for a martial arts academy, I went from gym to gym giving them all test runs. I was not very satisfied with most of them and I wish Corral’s was my first stop, because it would have been my only stop. The people there are very welcoming and I did not feel like I was out of place; everything was better than expected. Over the course of three years I can say whatever your personal goals are, you will achieve them at Corral’s Martial Arts.

Walking in for my free trial at Corral’s Martial Arts I was looking to get in shape while also learning how to defend myself. I did not know it at the time but luckily for me I had signed up at the best Jiu-Jitsu school in the region. Braulio Corral’s commitment to martial arts and teaching is second to none. They always quality instructors on the floor ready to show the details of any technique. Lifelong friends, confidence, and a healthy lifestyle are some of the most important things I have gained from training for the past 15+ years.

Brianne truly exemplifies her passion for fitness, which is inspiring for all her students. Her class offers a constant challenge that keeps my body in shape and me feeling healthy. There is always something new to learn which keeps the class exciting. I love the laid back atmosphere of Corral’s and the devoted instructors who are willing to help with any questions you have.

Corral’s Martial Arts is an outstanding establishment dedicated to excellence in martial arts and sportsmanship. Sensai Braulio and his wife have created a safe, positive, and fun environment for our kids to learn and grow. This husband and wife team is excellent with children! I would absolutely recommend CMA to anyone considering Jiu Jitsu or other martial arts for themselves or their kids.
