From the reviews
Very awesome place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and judo. Strong community and team focused atmosphere. Very accepting of new people. Feels like a family! Great place for women to train, too. The coaches and workers care about the success and happiness of the students.
My son has trained at this gym for almost 6 years now, and we can’t imagine going anywhere else. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. The families who train here, along with the staff, have become a second family for us. The training is top notch, and the kids class works hard but always ends with a game.
I have been going to S&G for several years. Both my kids are in the kids program and I take in the adult classes. The kids program is really impressive, with a lot of technique boiled down to basics that my 5 and 7 year old understand. They have fun too because most classes end in playing a game.
Incredible place to train! Every instructor is highly talented and experienced. As someone who may not be among the strongest of people, it's amazing how the coaches have been able to create a game plan for me. "There's a game out there for everyone". Each person I have trained with has been welcoming.
New to muay thai? Start at SG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
SG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 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 SG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
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.
