“My name is Tom, and I have been training at SBG for 8 months now. My son started at sbg before me he was being bullied. His confidence and his situational awareness improved with in months of training. This was enough to stop the bullying. I fell in love with the friendly coaches and the infectious ... learning environment, so i had to try it out. You will learn so much more than the most efficient way to choke out an attacker! My son and I love SBG! The above I wrote 2 years ago, and I would like to elaborate on my experience here at SBG. I didn't understand what TRIBE meant. I didn't understand what it meant to belong to a community of like-minded people looking to make a positive impact in eachothers lives as well as our community. I didn't know the TRIBE would provide so much. If you take the time to cultivate a community and put your fair share of energy in. The outcome is life changing! I truly feel blessed to be a part of SBG! Oh and the jiu-jitsu is pretty good also.”
