Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
A sport combining Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and Thai Boxing and the world's fastest growing professional sport. Here at SBG we have expert coaches teaching MMA as a complete sport and its individual component sports in more detail.
BJJ
A martial art focusing on grappling and ground fighting, developed to use the principles of leverage and technique to overcome bigger, stronger opponents. In these classes you will be taught all aspects necessary to compete in BJJ tournaments at the highest level, both in the Gi (traditional uniform) and without the Gi, and to learn the most effective martial art created for self-defence and self-improvement. While far from an easy sport, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu involves the least physicality and reflexes and is therefore ideally suited to recreational martial artists who still wish to be able to actually fight, as well as older starters and those who do not wish to train with strikes.
Wrestling
A sport focused on taking an opponent down to the ground from a standing position and pinning them there, as well as preventing being taken down and escaping back to the feet from the bottom position. Separated from Jiu Jitsu mainly in philosophy and extra physicality while sharing many common techniques and positions. An essential part of MMA competition.
Thai Boxing
A striking based martial art and sport which uses every limb to its utmost potential for both attack and defence. Ideally suited to MMA due to the use of all limbs and ranges, allowing practitioners to transition from unconnected striking to clinch and bridging the gap between striking and wrestling.
