As a husband and father, staying fit and healthy is paramount—not only for myself but also for my family. In 2020, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart arrhythmia, a wake-up call that pushed me to make drastic changes to improve my health and well-being. That’s when I found Springfield Fight Club. Springfield Fight Club isn’t just a gym; it’s a community dedicated to transformation. If you’re looking to break away from the couch and truly challenge yourself, this is the place to be. Their programs are packed with competitors and coaches of the highest caliber, all of whom are committed to helping you become disciplined, focused, and resilient. Training here has done more than improve my fitness—it’s made me a better husband and father. The positive changes in my life extend beyond the gym, and I can see the impact on my family as well. Springfield Fight Club has helped us become something greater together. If you’re ready to transform yourself and enrich your life, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Couldn’t recommend this place anymore. The place has changed my life for the better. Also if you have a kid you should definitely have them try the kids program. They even have a family class where you can do jujitsu together as a family! Awesome place 10/10

Springfield Fight Club is the most well established and prestigious gym in the area, no question. I’ve been doing martial arts for over a decade, I’ve trained at some of the best MMA gyms in the country. SFC’s coaching staff and culture rivals any of them. The kids program is amazing, very inclusive and friendly instructors, they make the kids excited to learn and eager to come train. I’m excited for the day that my son is old enough to join the program! Whether you’re a day one beginner, or an experienced martial artist, SFC has classes for all levels. If you’ve ever considered training martial arts, go check them out. Your first week is free, I promise you won’t regret it!

Our Daughter loves the Kids Classes here! Everyone is so friendly and the Atmosphere is very inviting. The Instructors are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend to anyone who has ever thought of learning JiJitsu! They also have a Great Womens Class on Saturday Mornings!

I cannot recommend Springfield Fight Club enough! My seven children attend classes here, and we have all been incredibly impressed with Professor Ryan. He has a natural ability to connect with the kids, and they listen to and respect him immensely. We also love the Saturday women’s class with Coach Andrea. She is truly incredible and has helped build my little girls' self-esteem so much. The supportive environment she fosters is inspiring and empowering, making it a wonderful space for everyone. The skills my children are learning go beyond just martial arts; they're about building confidence, discipline, and respect. I've seen such a positive change in my kids since they started training here. If you're considering a martial arts program for your children or yourself, I truly believe Springfield Fight Club is the place for you. We’ve had a fantastic experience, and I’m sure you will too!

Dropped in for a class, instruction was great, rolls were amazing. Mats were clean and everyone was friendly and technical during the sparring rounds.

Springfield Fight Club is an absolute gem! As a student, my schedule mostly limits me to the 5 AM classes, and I can’t say enough about how incredible Coach Brett is. His skill and attention to the small details have really enhanced my BJJ game. He has a knack for breaking down techniques and ensuring I understand the fundamentals, which has made a huge difference in my growth as an athlete. The 5 AM regulars are equally amazing; they’ve gone out of their way to take me under their wing and invest in my BJJ journey. What really sets Springfield Fight Club apart is the sense of family. The community is so encouraging, creating a motivating atmosphere where you feel right at home. I genuinely believe joining this club is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Plus, the flexible hours mean I can always fit in a session, no matter how busy school gets. If you’re looking for a place that feels like family and helps you grow, Springfield Fight Club is the spot!

I have been a student at Springfield Fight Club for a few months now. Having trained at a few different facilities in the Springfield-Branson area, I can confidently say that no one is doing it quite like SFC. This place is phenomenal!!!! Highly skilled, intelligent coaching along with world class athletes and a great atmosphere!

Absolutely outstanding. The Instructors/Coaches, members, everything. Can't begin to express how great it is here. The dedication and patience the Coaches have with you if you need help with a setup/sequence or technique (BJJ, Kickboxing, and/or MMA), and the other members getting excited when they see a new face start to become more of a regular. This is the type of camaraderie I was hoping to find.

Springfield Fight Club (SFC) is absolutely top notch and I recommend unreservedly to my friends and anyone who trains martial arts. The coaches are outstandingly good, and the atmosphere is supportive and challenging. I've been training here for a year and a half and plan to continue indefinitely.

This is my favorite place in the world. Great vibes, instant martial art nerd friends, and great instruction from coaches who follow modern Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. They offer a free trial week for new students, and Sunday open mats are always free and open to the public. Come try it out!

This place is special. I’ve been to many academy’s or MMA gyms in general all over the country and this is a top notch school. All of the instructors are amazing and back it up with incredible skills to match their philosophies. They know how to structure their classes and sparring in general so minimal injures happen. Ton of positive energy and hard work will be had in this place. Recommend to any age, weight, size, or experience level!

Been a student at SFC for a year. Every coach cares about every student, and their improvement. The gym is full of great people who are family. For self defense, exercise, or fighting, Springfield Fight Club is the best in the 417.

I've been a student at SFC for 3 years now. They're experienced, professional, fun, and very good at teaching. They have a ton of class times and several qualified coaches. The professors are well versed, but know how to make it graspable for beginners. The amount of coaches there allows people at all levels to get one on one details of what is being taught. I highly recommend Springfield Fight Club for the competitor, families, someone just looking for a cool hobby, and people who just want to come to work on their fitness. SFC has something for everyone.

So I'm am completely new to the world of jujitsu and kickboxing, but the staff was super helpful and more than willing to work with you. They were very patient and willing to show me things as many times as I needed. Everyone in the class was super encouraging and friendly! By the time I left I had the impression that everyone in that building just wants to help you be the best you possible. I can't wait to go back tonight!

As a female with no martial arts background, I felt immediately welcomed. Those who train here have varying levels of motivation: MMA/BJJ enthusiasts, trained fighters, or just learning self defense with a great kickboxing workout. Everyone is very respectful and the community dynamic is really quite moving. The coaches have a heart to help everyone at each level.

I’ve been training with SFC since 2009 and can say that it truly is an incredible place! It has a great atmosphere that is welcoming to beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. There’s a great sense of community and it doesn’t take long for people new to the gym to feel like they belong to something! I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train in martial arts whether it be for fitness, self-defense or competitive purposes!

Best place in town to train brazilian jiu jitsu! I looked into other gyms before coming to SFC, and after training there I felt at home. They are one big family. I have been training there for over a year now and hate it when I miss one day of training.

This is hands down, the best place to train in southwest Missouri. Top notch instruction and great people. You’ll feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Very professional facility with a variety of classes and class times to fit your needs! If you want to get in shape, be part of a big family, and learn to defend yourself, give Springfield Fight Club a try!

Great place to get into shape and learn self-defense. I was nervous coming here at first but the coaches and other people are easy to get along with and made the process pretty painless. It is a challenging and rewarding environment. I have had a couple of minor injuries that were outside the gym and haven't been super consistent but the payment process has worked around my situation. I recommend you take the first class and see if you enjoy it.

The name of the gym might be off putting to the conservative type, or maybe invigorating to the aggressive, but take note: this place is quite special! From my experience here, everyone welcomes new folks and encourages them in their individual journeys into the combative world. Spend your time and money here...oh, and bring the kids too!

My three daughters love the kid's classes. Well-structured with a good instructor-to-student ratio. Even my husband has started attending the Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing classes.

This gym is more like a family once you get to know the people. It may be intimidating for new comers at first, but check your ego at the door (or you will get humbled), and you will be ready for a great learning experience. This gym has built solid foundations for a couple successful professional/UFC fighters, based in Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu.

Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu, Submission Wrestling, Kickboxing, MMA. Most martial arts schools are run by old fat guys who think they know Martial Arts, or younger fit guys/gals who really only have mastered an ineffective form of dancing that will get them hurt in a real fight. Springfield Fight Club is the real deal.
