Top 3 Questions:
"Why should I join? We already spar at my school/gym."
"Nonprofit? FREE?! What's the Catch?"
We'll be back soon!
When Covid-19 hit, we had to shut down sparring events in our network. Unfortunately, we have yet to resume this project. When time and resources permit, we'll begin building this network again.

"Why should I join? We already spar at my school/Gym."
Because you don't know what you don't know. You may be training in a place offering high-quality martial arts training. Someone else is training in a place just as good or better...in a very different way. If you just want to get better at your particular sport or discipline and you are in a quality training environment, then you are good to go. But if you want to expand your horizons and become a truly well-rounded martial artist capable of handling yourself against completely unpredictable and uncooperative opponents in real violent situations, you have to venture out into new terrain where you will have the opportunity to encounter things that you've never seen before. New problems to solve. This network provides organized opportunities for you to do just that. We welcome you to join the movement.
Many combat sports gyms cross-train quite often. We welcome MMA practitioners but this network is specifically inspired by the void that we see among traditional martial artists, who often do little to no pressure testing against martial artists from other styles. Many of us sincerely want to grow as martial artists and yet have no interest in picking fights in the street or entering competitions. This network is a space for us to come together without all of the hoopla. No crowds. No prizes. No egos. Just martial artists, "martial arting" together.
"Nonprofit? FREE?! What's the Catch?"
Sparringclub.com was founded as a community resource, not a profit-generating business. Of course, we’d like to be able to cover our expenses at some point so we may offer products and services. There is a small RSVP fee for some sessions that goes towards us promoting and expanding our local sparring club network. Our one and only mission is to create a network of responsibly managed local sparring clubs that offer martial artists opportunities to test their skills and continue growing. Our pledge is to keep our online community free to join and our network of local clubs accessible to all sincere, formally trained martial artists seeking to invest in their growth.
We are happy to support YOU in starting a local club in your community using our proven organizing method and club management process. Click Here and fill out the form to find out how you can become a pillar of your local martial arts community by starting a local sparring club.
What Makes Us Unique?
This is a real network for real people, so we're breaking the rules of social networks. There are no users hiding behind cryptic names and talking trash. All profiles must contain your photo, your real first name, and information about your martial arts background.
Quality over Quantity.
This is a network exclusively for active martial artists sincerely looking to expand their horizons through sparring opportunities. Although we encourage members to respectfully interact and share ideas online, our primary goal is for members to connect and coordinate sparring sessions. Trolling, spamming, and other disrepectful conduct will not be tolerated.
A Punch and a Smile.
Our goal is to maintain a community of respectful, honorable martial artists who bring positive attitudes and show great sportsmanship. Leave the ego...bring your gear.
