Inferno Martial Arts Springdale-BJJ & Kickboxing

Inferno Martial Arts Springdale-BJJ & Kickboxing brings a long-running martial arts tradition to Springdale, led by Coach Kaleb Plank. Coach Plank’s martial arts journey began at home with his father, a black belt in Judo and Karate, and continued with formal classes from age six. Over the years, he expanded his training across the country and internationally, working with veterans from the UFC, Pride, and Strikeforce. Alongside close friends and fellow instructors Mike Page and Sparks, Plank returned to Arkansas to found Inferno MMA, shaping a curriculum that blends traditional martial arts, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. At Inferno, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught under the guidance of Coach Plank, a third-degree black belt in BJJ who also holds black belts in Taekwondo, Aikido, and Joe Lewis Kickboxing. Coach Mike Page, a BJJ black belt and Pan American Championship medalist, is known for making complex Jiu-Jitsu concepts accessible to students. The academy’s instruction draws from a blend of formal training and real-world experience, with a focus on both gi and no-gi grappling. The BJJ program is available seven days a week, supporting a range of training goals from self-defense to competition. The gym’s schedule reflects its commitment to all ages, offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and specialized programs for kids and teens. Inferno also provides Rock Steady Boxing for individuals with Parkinson’s, and maintains wheelchair-accessible facilities. The curriculum encourages students to explore different martial arts paths, whether pursuing traditional disciplines or mixing grappling and striking. The academy’s longstanding presence in Northwest Arkansas comes through in its multi-generational instruction and deep roots in the local martial arts community.
