From the reviews
Excellent staff of instructors training world class athletes in the Cape Girardeau MO! If you’re in the area, or even remotely close, you should train at War Eagle! Visit their Facebook or Instagram pages for information on classes, & to keep up with one of the best teams in the heartland
Amazing gym full of champion fighters. Coach Deray is an incredible striking instructor, and coach coty a world class bjj practitioner and coach. If you're in Southern Missouri you're doing yourself a disservice not training at War Eagle. Great vibes, great people
Coach Coty is one of the best and most well-respected black belts in the country! Having a hidden gem like this is Cape is a blessing!
Great staff and classes to fit anyone’s schedule, my nephew and I both attend and have enjoyed for years!
New to kickboxing? Start at War Eagle Fight Team
War Eagle Fight Team comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at War Eagle Fight Team
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
