From the reviews
A great gym that wants to better a community, to bring people together, and to instill confidence in the adults and youth of Ponca. The gym leaders always are willing to help their students. I have such great memories and classes with these people! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!!
I’ve been training at Combat Syndicate since October 2024, and it’s been an awesome experience. The environment is always friendly and welcoming, which makes it a great place to train no matter your experience level.
They have phenomenal employees, instructors all the way down to even the owner, it's not all about the money that you actually care about the community's well being and go above and beyond showing that! Would choose this gym over any other, any day!
Combat syndicate fosters a friendly environment for beginners and competitors. The gym facility is truly elite with great equipment which is always well maintained.
New to BJJ? Start at Combat Syndicate
Combat Syndicate comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Combat Syndicate
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
