Best gyms to Drop In at Indianapolis?

Tldr: Im here until Sunday afternoon, shout out your favorite weekend open mat/competition class plx!

Long form: My wife is doing a women's only weekend camp in Indianapolis, and I'm here for moral support. What are the best gyms to drop in at for me?

I'm a competitive purple belt (won a few ibjjf tourneys) and ideally I'd prefer to get a couple hard training sessions in with other competitors since my training partners at home are pretty limited. I dont have any problem with paying a drop in fee, or doing drilling or open mat or whatever, as long as I get some good stiff rolls in too!

Right now I'm sitting in the parking lot of Decatur Central googling for open mats...

10th planet Indy (had to drop the obligatory 10p gym but jay Watkins runs a top notch gym with an really nice facility)

Also try Indiana Brazilian jiu jitsu academy. James clingerman has got to be one of the best instructors and grapplers in the Midwest and he has a killer comp squad

I train at IBJJA...as far as I know comp training is still on at noon-2 Sunday if you can make it. Best class of the week; guaranteed good rolls.

Edit: for Saturday open mat go to to Carlson Gracie on the other side of Greenwood. Their Saturday open mat is solid.

I dropped in at the Carlson Gracie affiliate about 15 mins from downtown. Had a great time and some fun rolls. Teacher was really welcoming and super technical.
