MARTIAL ARTS VS traditional sports

SEE HOW NEW WAVE MARTIAL ARTS COMPARES

See how New Wave Martial Arts stacks up against traditional sports and other activities. From real-world self-defense to unmatched personal growth, our programs offer benefits that go far beyond the game!

Traditional Sports

  • Less Focus on Character Development

    Traditional sports often prioritize physical performance, leaving behind critical traits like emotional resilience, confidence, and integrity.

  • Exclusion Based on Skill Level

    Team tryouts and benching can leave some kids feeling left out or discouraged from participating in physical activity.

  • Winning Above All Else

    The pressure to win can take away the joy of the game, placing more value on results than growth, effort, or personal achievement.

  • Little One-on-One Coaching

    Large teams and fast-paced practices can make it hard for coaches to give kids the personalized attention they need to truly grow.

Training No-Gi Jiu Jitsu

  • Builds Real-World Self-Defense Skills

    Without the grips of a uniform, No-Gi teaches students how to control opponents in realistic scenarios—perfect for practical self-defense.

  • Improves Athleticism & Conditioning

    No-Gi training is fast-paced and physically intense, boosting agility, endurance, and explosive movement.

  • Encourages Problem Solving in Motion

    With fewer grips and constant movement, students must think strategically and adapt quickly under pressure.

  • Creates a Team-Oriented, Ego-Free Culture

    No-Gi fosters an environment of mutual growth—where students push each other to improve, not to compete for status.

Members Feedback & Reviews

We’ve had such a positive experience here! Sensei Mario is absolutely fantastic, so patient, encouraging, and truly skilled at working with kids. My son has grown more confident and disciplined. The environment is supportive and welcoming, and it’s clear that Sensei Mario genuinely cares about each student’s progress. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great martial arts program for their child!

New Wave Jiu Jitsu has been a great place for me to train. I have been here for a little over a year now and have made some good friends. The instructors are great. I absolutely love their attention to detail. I think I am the oldest person that trains consistently but I still feel like a put up a decent fight with the young bucks that are half my age. The students are eager to learn and willing to help others improve. This is a place where you can be serious as well as crack a joke from time to time. The establishment is clean and well maintained. It offers tons of amenities as well as other classes like Judo and Kickboxing. Everyone is very welcoming and you never feel left out. I encourage any and everyone to come check us out.

I had the pleasure of training here during a work trip to Indianapolis, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The students and staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly right from the beginning. The gym itself is immaculate, modern, and equipped with all the amenities an athlete could desire. Gabriel, one of the instructors, is a highly skilled and technical practitioner who ensures that the lessons are easy to understand and applicable to all levels. I will definitely be training here again the next time I'm in town. Thank you for having me, Tahir!

Gym owner (Tahir) is not only a great dude but an outstanding coach. Professor Gabriel is a great black belt, great teacher and fun to be around. He makes class about technique but also gives the opportunity to compete.
Dalton Rogers
My daughter has been attending judo classes here with Sensei Mario since it opened and she absolutely loves it. She enjoys learning new throws and building relationships with the other students. Sensei Mario is so patient and encouraging with his students. Anyone interested in giving judo a try either for your kid or yourself (there are adult classes too), I would absolutely recommend checking out New Wave.

Great training. I’m in my 40’s and started almost a year ago and the improvement in my cardio and strength has been amazing. Jiu Jitsu is one of the hardest most rewarding things I have done.
