| Jan 28th Fundraiser (posted 1/5/2012) |  Carrie Jenkins the mother of two of our Indianapolis Jiu-Jitsu students is co-organizing a fundraiser for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund has provided close to $120 million in support for the families of military personnel lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans. These efforts are funded entirely with donations from the public, and hundreds of thousands of individuals have contributed to the Fund. Carrie’s husband Chad is currently serving in Afghanistan.
The fundraiser will be held at the Fox and Hound Bar and Grill in Carmel, IN on Saturday, January 28th from 8 – 10 pm, during the UFC on FOX broadcast. There is no admission or cover charge. Private, smoke-free rooms are reserved, so all ages are welcome. In addition to watching the fights, you will have the opportunity to take home some amazing authentic sports memorabilia. These items range from NASCAR Drivers, UFC fighters, NFL Players to professional golfers, basketball players and baseball players. These items will be given away through raffles and silent auction. The list keeps growing! Carrie’s husband has also provided some items that he flew on recent combat missions. Carrie says they will also be joined by UFC fighters Chris Lytle, Matt Mitrione and Shamar Bailey and a true American hero Josh Bleill. We hope you’ll be part of this great fundraiser to support the men and women of the armed forces and their families.

| | Indy BJJ New Black Belt (posted 10/2/2011) |  Congratulations to Chris Keidel for receiving his Black Belt from Master Caique on Sept, 30, 2011. Chris started training jiu-jitsu in 1997 with Greg Eldred. He is a great student, instructor, and friend, and his loyality and dedication to Prof Greg Eldred and Master Caique is unmatched. Chris was promoted in a ceremony following a 2 hour seminar by Master Caique. We also gained two new Brown Belts that evening - Kim Freeman and Evan Mannweiler who both have great devotion to the art of jiu-jitsu. We are proud of everyone for these remarkable achievements.

| | Carmel Safety Day (posted 9/19/2011) |  John Hillman at Safety DaySept 17, 2011 Indy BJJ participated in the city of Carmel's Public Safety Day hosted by the Fire and Police Departments. This was a free event that included educational booths by local businesses and organizations designed to teach children and families basic safety techniques on a wide range of topics. Also, health and wellness booths were on display. Activities at each booth gave children and adults a chance to test their knowledge or ask questions about a given safety, health, or wellness concern.
Indy BJJ Professer Greg Eldred and his student John Hillman gave self-defense demonstrations, as well as taught visitors to the booth a basic wrist grab escape technique. We were very busy the whole day, and we're glad to be part of this event. We hope that people left our booth knowing more than they did when they arrived.
