Indianapolis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy operates at 20 Executive Drive, Suite G, in Carmel, Indiana. Founded by professor and owner Greg Eldred, the academy provides traditional Gracie Brazilian jiu-jitsu instruction and practical self-defense education for youth, teens, and adults across the Carmel community. Instruction is led by Greg Eldred, a fifth-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who began his training at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance, California in 1991 and earned his purple belt from Royce Gracie before affiliating with Master Carlos Caique Elias. The teaching staff includes professors Ryan Marques and Travis Hawkins, instructor Anthony Cruz, and associate instructor Jess Brito. Academy curriculum pathways divide adult training into Adult Basics, Adult Advanced, and Adult Mixed sessions alongside weekend open mat rounds. Additional offerings include a structured kids program and women's self-defense clinics designed to build practical ground escapes, positional leverage, and situational awareness.
