Absolutely the best instruction around. Family first environment, and Glenn the head instructor/owner will absolutely give the shirt off his back and food from his plate to help others around. The culture at this gym builds great fighters and even better humans.

My kids and I love 417bjj. Great family program and pricing. Early morning and evening classes can fit most schedules.

Sorry for the crazy accusations and reviews. i really upset some kid on facebook by making fun of his motorcycle and this is his messed up way of getting back at me. none of the recent 1 star reviewers know me or have ever been to the gym or even springfield, mo, as far as i know. Thanks for understanding.

Wonderful gym to be a part of. Glenn is a great coach with a great curriculum for his students to learn the art of jiu jitsu. Great facility with great people inside of it.

Glenn is one of the most kind hearted people I know! He’s great at making everyone comfortable and his passion truly is helping everyone, over just making money like a lot of gyms are!

I recently attended 417 BJJ for the Gun and Knife Self Defense Workshop with my future in laws that go regularly. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but I’m so glad I went. It might be a personal preference but as a person who is a beginner I never felt I was being sold anything or physically injured with the techniques that you practice. The owner of the gym Glenn has a great sense of humor and loves telling stories from his life experience as a prison guard/army/etc, they are both interesting and applicable. He is very concerned with keeping things safe and practical. He loves to take random questions and expand on the subjects and scenarios, which helps create the extra layer of comfortability for people who want to be a part of something. If you do go to one of their workshops, I would recommend bringing someone on your skill level to practice with that you can be comfortable with learning the techniques. And the workshop included a rubber gun and knife to practice at home, it was like Christmas!
