When I reached out to Rich you could just tell that his energy is unmatched and I soon found out so was his knowledge about martial arts and life in general.

Joining SBG has been the best thing we could have done for our anxious child, he coping better, made new friends outside of school, and is so much more self assured than he has ever been!

What stands out is the quality of the coaching. Head Coach Rich Beaupit and the assistant coaches are not only technically proficient, but they also operate with integrity.

It starts with our culture. We’ve built SBG Niagara around great coaching, safe training, and a supportive community where people genuinely want to see each other succeed. You’re not just joining a gym—you’re joining a tribe.
Absolutely. Most people who come through our doors start with little or no martial arts experience. Our classes are structured to help beginners feel comfortable, learn at their own pace, and build confidence from day one.
Welcoming, positive, and supportive. We work hard to maintain a training environment without intimidation or unnecessary egos, where beginners and experienced students can train together, challenge themselves, and help each other improve.
SBG Niagara has been serving St. Catharines and the Niagara Region for more than 30 years. That experience has helped us develop programs for kids, teens, and adults that combine quality martial arts instruction with a strong focus on personal growth.
Come meet us and experience the gym for yourself. We’ll show you around, answer your questions, and help you decide whether SBG Niagara feels like the right fit. No pressure, no intimidation—just come see what our tribe is all about.
