I am really impressed with this gym and it's team. The instructors are extremely professional, loud spoken, and informative in such a way that the new kids can easily understand. They offer classes for all ages and family discounts if more than one member of the family joins. The teens bracket trains four times a week. In the short time of my daughter training here, she has boosted her confidence exponentially, and always looks forward to each day here. The environment is very welcoming and I would highly recommend them for anyone who wants to train, especially young kids. The progress my daughter has made in both training, and discipline outside of the gym has greatly improved and we are very proud of her.
SBG Vancouver is a special place to learn and train functional martial arts where you’ll get a workout that is not only fun and gets you fit, but will give you real skills to keep you and your family safe. Coach Matt, Coach Zach, Coach Nina and the rest of the SBG team are some of the most caring, knowledgeable folks. The instruction in jiu jitsu and kickboxing/boxing is both beginner friendly and high caliber. The gym is beautiful, massive, and always kept super clean (not the case in a lot of others gyms, unfortunately).
SBG has been a consistently great place to train across the handful of locations I've been fortunate enough to visit and I fully expect SBG Vancouver to follow suit. I've taken classes and rolled with Zach for a few years now and sincerely appreciate his commitment to safety and high attention to detail. Carlos is also a great teacher and fantastic with the kids he's been entrusted to coaching. I'm looking forward to training at the new location and being a part of the ever-growing SBG community
SBG is a premiere martial arts organization. This location continues to add to the record with a beautifully built and brand new facility, fantastic coaching, welcoming environment, inclusive culture, and supportive Tribe. If you and your family are in need of self defense, a great workout, confidence for yourself (or children), and an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself, SBG Vancouver is the right choice. Have fun learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with one of the best staffs around.
