My son has been training at SBG Buford since he was 4 years old—he’s now 14! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the front desk, then the coaches. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. The curriculum is excellent, the vibe is positive, and the coaches truly care about your success both on and off the mats. SBG has been such a big part of my son’s life. We highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love the new SBG Buford facility & our SBG family - they just moved in December, and it’s huge new gym with incredible energy. From day one, the SBG tribe welcomed our entire family! We started training here in April, and it’s been such a great experience. Our kids are enrolled in jiu-jitsu and have gained both skills and confidence. My husband had taken the performance class and really enjoyed it and recently joined the kickboxing classes. John is an amazing kickboxing instructor & fitness expert - motivating, knowledgeable, and makes every class challenging and fun. From our family to yours, we highly recommend SBG Buford for families and anyone looking for a high-quality gym!

I've been training at SBG for a few months now, and it’s been an amazing experience! As a 17 year old I was a little nervous at first, but everyone here welcomed me right away. The coaches are incredible and are so supportive. The training is amazing as well, whether it’s morning classes, noon classes, or night classes. The energy in the gym is always positive and motivating. One of the best parts has to be when we compete together, the team spirit and support makes it so much fun! I highly recommend, such an amazing team!

If you are looking for an amazing gym experience that offers classes for ages 4 + teaching different types of skills and training that will help them in the future. My son has been a member of SBG for almost 3 years and he has learned so much and has learned discipline, leadership and lifelong skills that he is committed to the sport and I thank the amazing coaches who helped him get there and made it fun along the way! Coach Montana and coach Autumn for everything!

I've had a great experience training at SBG Atlanta. The coaches are very knowledgeable and take the time to break techniques down so both beginners and experienced students can improve. The atmosphere is very welcoming - everyone is respectful, helpful, and there's no ego on the mats, which makes it a comfortable place to learn and grow.
