Stephen is an absolute amazing coach and gym owner. I will always recommend him and his gym. Couldn’t be a better place to train in Springfield.

If you’re interested in training jiujitsu, kickboxing, learn self defense or get in shape. This is the best place to be.

American Jiu-Jitsu is hands down one of the friendliest and most welcoming gyms I’ve visited on my travels across the country. From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of the family, no matter your experience level. The owner/ instructor (Stephen) brings incredible skill and a wealth of knowledge, having trained with some of the top grapplers and coaches in the jiu-jitsu world. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, there’s so much to learn and gain here. If you’re looking for the best gym to challenge yourself and feel supported every step of the way, this is it!

I was travelling through the area and came here for a one off session, the coach and everyone else at the gym couldn't have been more welcoming. Great rounds, great atmosphere.

I trained here for about a month and a half while I was in the area for work. A great no gi gym! Steve is very knowledgeable, nice professional, and one of the best instructors I’ve ever had! He tailor’s the training to everyone at their pace and skill level. I’ll definitely be back if I’m ever in the area for work again. A welcoming gym to experienced enthusiasts and beginners. There’s no douchey meatheads in there trying to hurt anyone. It’s a truly great well rounded gym to train at.

Stephen is an extremely knowledgeable teacher and great human being. My daughter cross trains with the team and is always welcome. We visit him regularly for no-gi competition prep. He is a must visit in the Springfield, IL area.

This gym has a very welcoming and supportive environment, as well as great coaching for both jiu jitsu and kickboxing. All coaches are life long martial artists and experts in their field. I have trained here for about 6 months now, and I can truly say no one understands the leglock game like Stephen.
I have learned a ton here and the training is top-level, with training partners of all skill and size ranges. If you're traveling, it's also a great place to pop in and train! I encourage anyone to come train with us and learn to defend yourself!

Can't say enough great things about this gym. The instructors are positive and incredibly knowledgeable. The other students are a fantastic group, excited to learn and enthusiastic to share what they've learned with their juniors.

This is a solid space to become educated in kickboxing & jujitsu, to get a killer workout, and most importantly, to have a ton of fun.

American Jujitsu is without a doubt one of the best gyms in the area. I drive 2 hours round trip to train with Coach Stephen and it has been beyond worth the effort. Stephen brings to his students some of the highest quality instruction in the state. American Jujitsu is a safe place for beginners, as well as a place for some solid advanced training. All members are courteous, respectful, and helpful when it comes to training, drilling, rolling, and everything in between. Stop by and try our classes out for a week, you won't be disappointed.

Okay , where do I start . I’ve been training with Coach Steve and Coach Austin for over 4 years now . This is a powerfully positive location that has not only changed my life but saved it many awesome ways. I’m humbled to be a part of this energy and I have 0 regrets . The technical skills and classes taught are of the highest caliber within the grappling community . Practitioners are encouraged to come as it is a very welcoming environment. I wish I could go everyday . Thnx AJJ for having to place to train and thrive !

Great place to train in central Illinois, their leg lock game is on point! Stephen is a great instructor and structures the class around a couple techniques, positional sparring, and live rolling. He gives you the time and repetition needed to actually learn a technique and start using it in your game. The other students are very friendly and respectful, no big egos, and I feel comfortable rolling with the all the guys. It's a little hard to find at first, when you pull into the parking lot keep going through the chain link fence and you'll see the door to the back of the CrossFit gym, that's where you enter for American Jujitsu.
