A positive and supportive learning environment with an excellent staff and instructors. Brand new to jiu jitsu or other martial arts? Not to worry! They'll be with you every step of the way, from your first class onward. As a woman, it is an especially great place to train as they take care to create a comfortable, and welcoming training environment in a largely male dominated sport. They have an excellent facility with special emphasis placed on safety and hygiene. Highly recommended, no matter your previous level of experience. P.S. the new location is bigger and better than ever! So much space to learn and get a good workout in.

I went to watch my nephew get his first belt and this place was awesome! The coaches were great with the kids and able to keep their attention the whole time. In the next room there were adults practicing advanced movements and I felt like I was learning something just by watching. I would definitely recommend this place for adults and parents who want to learn Jiu Jitsu and add some structure / discipline to their lives. I wrestled for over 12 years and it was refreshing seeing a professional gym in action.

Literally life changing! 1 year ago I weighed about 330 pounds and had no real social circle. Now I weigh 268 pounds and hangout with people I have met in the gym in my free time outside the gym. This place has made me more health conscious, more humble and much less stressed. The people are amazing, the instructors are world class and you will not find a better, more friendly place to train anywhere. There are a ton of different classes too: MMA, Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Fitness Kickboxing. There really is something for everyone here. I am a year in and I am excited for may more years to come. Come train here, and I believe you will be hooked by the end of the first lesson.

This is truly a friendly and caring gym. I love the fact that if you miss a class or two they are emailing/texting to let you know that you are missed. The coaches are very encouraging to the beginners - just keep coming and you are going to improve. Everyone definitely wants you to be able to be the best that you can be.

The instructors are amazing as are all the kids and parents who attend. We enjoyed it so much I recently started bringing my 4 year old as well. It gives them both something healthy and active to look forward to every day. I cannot rave enough about how great the staff and trainers are!

Im 47 years old and started 10th Planet JuJitsu in Springfield almost 1 year ago. I have no experience in Jujitsu otherwise. A flag advertising for Springfield Superheroes 10th Planet JJ happened to be placed down the street from me one day. My wife and I had just moved from Tucson, had a new baby, new jobs and were very new to this area. However, once I decided to ignore my trepidation of starting something totally different and unknown, I will say from day 1, everyone treats you like family. To include the potlucks, themed open mats, seminars from highly regarded Jujitsu experts, numerous class schedules to fit just about any lifestyle, and most importantly a safe place/environment for your kids to develop to art of Jujitsu. When our son turns 4 we will have no hesitation to enroll him with this Gym. Mike Dewitt, the front desk staff, instructors and students have changed my life.

The community you gain from joining a 10th Planet gym is worth the time and investment alone. On the fitness side you'll never have more fun getting in shape than practicing BJJ, and you won't find a more welcoming gym than 10th Planet Springfield. All are made to feel welcome, from the once a week practitioners to our teammates who compete nationally, everyone gets the time and attention they need to advance.

Superhero Jiu Jitsu is such a fun place. I go for the kickboxing classes and have been going off and on for a year. It’s a super friendly environment and they are extremely welcoming, even to people who don’t consistently show up. They always greet you and ask how you’ve been, etc. The instructors are funny and encouraging, and the workouts are hard.

My husband was searching for a jiu-jitsu class for our son to get him more active and socialize more with kids his own age as well as because my husband used to practice Jiu-Jitsu and loved it. My husband found Superhero Jiu-Jitsu and fell in love with this place. This place has been a blessing for our son. Our son loves coming to practice every week and has also taken up the wrestling portion of this Academy. Hands down best decision ever to apply and send our child. Thank you so much for all the lessons you have taught our son. You all are amazing and we appreciate you so much.

Superhero Jiu Jitsu 10th Planet in Springfield is truly a special place. I’ve never met so many dangerous killers that happen to also be incredibly kind. Not only is Coach Mike a specimen and highly experienced in jiu jitsu, he is also a brilliant instructor; relatable and inviting to everyone who walks in the door. This teaching style permeates through his entire staff, which had lead to a successful offering of multiple classes including MMA, kick boxing, Muay Thai, and of course, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The community established at the gym is inclusive and individual expectations are well communicated and held to a high standard. The sub-community of women at this gym is especially noteworthy; with a women’s self-defense program as the gateway to introduce jiu jitsu in a safe and and supportive environment. This gym is life changing for so many and allows people to come as they are while opening up opportunities for new experiences.

I started here a few years ago in the fitness kick boxing not even knowing what jiu-jitsu was. After looking over at all these weirdos trying to break or choke each other with huge smiles on their faces I decided to give it a shot... LET ME TELL YOU, it rewired my brain. I gained confidence through the ability to defend myself, I shaped my ego to be used productively, and I learned how to build healthy relationships. Before I even realized it I lost 40 pounds! This place is my home away from home, when you come in and try it out you will be positively welcomed! My kids also train here and love it! Coaches are fantastic and obviously love what they do!

I've trained with coach Mike DeWitt for many years. His dedication and passion for 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is what separates him from other coaches. Having been a part of the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu affiliation for many years myself, I know that he is a valuable member of the team that has proven himself through competition for a long time. His members train for free at my school as well as all 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu schools. Join the 10P revolution and sign up today!

I started training here a year ago, with no athletic background at all. I was hoping for a friendly environment and good instruction, but 10th Planet Springfield surpassed all of my expectations. It might sound stupid, but the second day I came I was surprised to discover that Mike already remembered my name, and was glad to see me. I felt instantly welcome. It's little things like that which really set this gym apart. The environment is amazingly positive, and even complete newbies like me are made to feel totally at home. The level of instruction is extremely high. Mike doesn't hand out belts very often, and when he does, it's because someone has really earned it. The blue belts are amazingly skilled and athletic, but they're all so sweet and friendly that even as they are constantly submitting me I still have a great time. I feel that I'm constantly improving thanks to the great instruction by Mike Dewitt and Dustin Castleberry. Please come and try it out! You won't regret it! It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I first came to super hero jiu jits a year ago because I didn’t like where I was in life. I needed a bigger sense of community, something to focus on and new friends, honestly. In this last year I’ve acquired easily 20 close friends, a much healthier body and mind and a genuine love for jiu jitsu. All things I got from this gym. This gym has become my favorite place to be and joining is easily top three best choice I’ve made in life.

When people ask me where they should train no gi jiu jitsu, I always send them to Superhero Jiu Jitsu to train with Mike Dewitt. The atmosphere that is provided at that gym is family-friendly and positive; this is due to the fact that Mike and his wife Ashley have curated a culture that allows for growth and improvement through positive coaching and immensely supportive teammates. They have a kids area in the gym which is so helpful for people with kiddos who want to train and they run lots of kids classes. Basically when you get signed up at the gym, you become part of their jiu jitsu family. They’re dependable, honest, caring, and extremely kind individuals that want to see your jiu jitsu improve. Mike will challenge you in ways that help you learn your own potential even when it’s hard for you to see it in yourself and he will also make sure you’re having fun at the same time. Trust me, I’ve trained jiu jitsu for 9 years and Superhero is where it’s at for absolutely awesome no gi instruction. You’ll make lifelong friends there and become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

This is by far the best group of people you can learn from. NOT JUST Jiu Jitsu, but sportsmanship, humility and down right family. I’ve trained intermittently for the past two years under Mike Dewit, he and his team are amazing. If you have the desire to try a new thing, the desire to better yourself, or are just curious about jiu jitsu. YOU NEED TO COME OVER TO 10th PLANET SPRINGFIELD SUPERHERO JIU JITSU. I promise you will not be disappointed.

This place is the snazziest jiu jitsu academy in town. All the cool cats gather here to practice their slick wizardry. I used to be a mere mortal man since joining 10th planet Springfield I have morphed in to a superhero with the ability to choke a person to sleep weather it be a muscle bound brute or an innocent old lady, witch basically means I’m better then most average people walking around on the streets. Anything less then five stars would be absolutely ridiculous .

Welcoming family atmosphere, skilled instruction. We started our 7 year old here about 6 months ago. We were amazed at the patience and level of skill the coaches brought to class. Kids class looked like so much fun that my wife and I decided to try the adult class. Adult class has got us both hooked. Everyone is helpful and kind, especially when we're sparring. The owner, Black Belt, Mike Dewitt Jr. is a friendly and talented instructor, and Chris Bettis is honing our skills in crack of dawn classes.

I've been involved in competitive martial arts for over 25yrs. Mike is the best instructor I've ever seen with kids. His patients and genuine excitement and love of working with the kids is obvious to anyone who sees. As for the adult training, the atmosphere is perfect for the everyday gym going looking to get in shape, the martial arts enthusiast who lives and breaths the techniques or the competitive minded individual. Mike mixes humor and knowledge with fun and detail to give everyone what they are looking for.

We loved this place but when we had to stop going due to scheduling issues they charged us for another month after we gave them plenty notice ... disappointed with their acceptance of our respectful leaving. Charged us $204 for a month we would not attend. Bummer. I'm expecting to get some kind of reply to that's what we signed up for in our contract, but, being a fellow local business owner, I'd have respected the 25 day notice vs the 30 day notice to a family that has paid on time every month for two years.... but thats just me

Brian Kittel

Called about getting my daughter into some classes. Staff was friendly and they were quick to set us up for a complimentary class to try out. They wanted to wait until after the class to discuss pricing. The reason for the low score is the high pressure sales tactics they use. After the class, when your child is pumped up, they sit you down in a very public space to discuss financials, poor form. Then, they hit you with a $400 joining fee which, is discounted to 200 if you sign up that day/night. BTW, there is still a $99 a month tuition. The 200/400 fee is a fee that simply gives you the right to pay tuition, you get zero for the 200/400 fee. So, one star because they use used car salesman tactics from the 70's...
