From the reviews
Everyone is very patient, even towards a slow learner like me. The training in fundamentals and positional control for BJJ is explained in great detail. The professionalism from the coaches is beautiful, and consistent. Look forward to learning martial arts from a well trained staff, and safe environment.
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.
This facility is all brand new, clean, and hard working staff who know what they are doing. SBG has a good reputation of awesome classes and they definitely show that. They have amazing programs to choose from and more equipment on the way soon.
This place is absolutely amazing! Big padded area for large classes, amazing instructors with in-depth knowledge, after completing the foundations courses- unlimited classes, positive atmosphere and great clientele. I'm older and have no interest in competitive fighting, but the skills and exercise are top notch.
New to muay thai? Start at SBG Vancouver
SBG Vancouver 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 SBG Vancouver
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.
