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!
Love this gym. Felt welcome and comfortable right away. Great coaches, vibes and environment. Highly recommend
New to muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at War Eagle Fight Team
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
