Have you ever thought about doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Or maybe it’s not specifically BJJ that you are after but rather a fun activity that can teach you some self defense, where you can make new friends, and if you are someone who enjoys competing, that’s an option too! If these are the kinds of things you are looking for, you should definitely try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!

I have a friend that said (and firmly believed) that you can’t make friends after 30. I promise you that’s not true! Here at Roll Model Grappling Academy, in Greenwood, IN, new friends are being made every day! Some friendships that will last a lifetime!

The Roll Model Grappling Academy is run by me, Coach AJ Clingerman. I have been running a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy (or two) since 2000. For the first almost decade I didn’t get to train a lot because I was always working on building the school, but since about 2009 I have been absolutely obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu. I teach multiple classes a week, both women’s only and mixed classes with all genders. I also teach private lessons and self defense workshops, and most weekends I’m either competing, coaching, or teaching seminars across Northern and Central America. You would think that would be enough, but I’m so obsessed with BJJ that I also have 3 podcasts about it! You should check out Beauty and the Gi podcast wherever you listen to podcasts!

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love Jiu-Jitsu and the community and friends that I have made throughout the years, and I really want you to be able to experience that as well! That’s why we offer a free 30 day trial. I want you to come in and make sure that it’s something that you enjoy and that it’s a community you can see yourself in. But honestly, I know how intimidating it can be to start something new, which is why I want to give you a free private lesson to kick off your free 30 days. This will give you a chance to learn a few basic moves, we can show you around and get to know you better, and from there you can try out our facility for 30 days for free! All you have to do is give us a call or text at 317-709-4043 and we will get you set up!

I look forward to getting you started in your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Journey!
