From the reviews
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!
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!
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.
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.
New to BJJ? Start at Springfield Fight Club
Springfield Fight Club comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Springfield Fight Club
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.
