Our programs help students become masters in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo while teaching them to embody the principles of martial arts off the mats. Offering specialized programs for kids, adults, females and competitors, the community we've built welcomes individuals of all ages and experience levels.

Jiu-jitsu builds physical fitness, self-discipline, and confidence. Constraint based games, engaging techniques, and sparring sessions help kids learn valuable life skills while also having fun.

Andrew Trace
Coach
A lifelong martial artist, Andrew started his grappling career at the age of 5 with wrestling, a sport he took into college. As a professional MMA fighter he competed against multiple athletes who went on to fight in the UFC and ended his MMA career with a 7-2 pro record and an undefeated 11-0 amateur record. Not only is Andrew is a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Rafael Lovato Jr, training for nearly two decades in the sport but he holds a brown belt in Japanese jiu-jitsu as well. Blending these disciplines into his own unique style of "Tracejitsu", Andrew is a regular coach at our week day classes.
Vlad Eydelman
Head Judo Instructor
Sensei Vlad began studying judo at 10 under Sensei Takayuki Yoshinago, 8th Dan, and is himself a San Dan (3rd degree black belt). As a strong youth national competitor, he restarted the IU Judo Program in 1991 which thrives today. Vlad's instruction focuses on strong fundamentals, leverage, timing and the principles of safe & respectful training. His vision is for our judo program to develop well-rounded athletes, with emphasis on physical and mental health as judo requires both a disciplined mind and a body capable of executing with confidence, timing & control.
