Martial Arts is a passion for Pollaro’s Martial Arts founder, Nick Pollaro.  Years of training and dedication have shaped his life, both personally and professionally.  Nick is certified as an instructor in both Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Martial Arts.  He holds the rank of Third Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  Within the world of Martial Arts, Nick found his calling.  In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he found a sense of home.

Excellence in Martial Arts demands not only physical strength and skill, but also strength of character.  Along with dedication to service, these values served to guide Nick in his career as a police officer.  The same values continue to guide him in his current position as Defensive Tactics Instructor at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.

With the support of family and friends, Nick opened Pollaro’s Martial Arts in 2009. Pollaro’s has become a place where students can learn, grow and challenge themselves in a supportive environment dedicated to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students are taught both self-perfection and self-preservation regardless of experience, age or physical ability. Pollaro’s Martial Arts is more than a school; it’s a place for positive change.
