Just started with my 18 year old son. The coaches are top notch with real experience and the culture is fantastic. They know how to ease you into the training while creating a sense of respect and fun. There's a virtuous cycle here: they're awesome people and so they attract great people to their space. We plan on being here for a long time.

Finding this gym has been amazing! Not only have I gotten in shape with the TFW classes, but I've also gained a community of the best people supporting me. I've been going to TFW for about a year now and I just started martial arts to learn self-defense and the coaches were great at easing me into it and helping to build my confidence. Great place to work out, and to build community.

I’ve been training at Sbg for a little under 2 months and so far my experience has been nothing but fantastic. The coaches are incredible in both their knowledge of the fight game and as people in general. They create an environment that is both fun and challenging, while also ensuring that everyone is getting better every time they step in to the gym. If you’re interested in mma/bjj this is the place for you!

SBG Athens is the best gym I've ever been to. My whole family started training here in 2018 and it quickly became my favorite place to be. The coaches are world class, the environment is welcoming, and the people you train with are awesome. I really can't say enough good things about this gym.

"One Tribe. One Vibe." Man, everyone at SBG Athens Fitness, MMA & BJJ In Athens Georgia is straight vibin and yet again it makes for a bitter sweet goodbye. I'd like to thank Lee Curtis McMichael for taking the time to contact me when I …

Rory and Adam are two of the best, and most caring, coaches you will ever come accross. Despite being known for their success in MMA, you'll find that the vast majority of people inside of SBG are 9-5, working class men and women who are looking to get in great shape and actually have fun while they're doing it. I live an hour from Athens, but I make my way over there whenever possible to train with the SBG team. That says a lot about how welcome I feel, and the quality of their product.

My wife, daughter, and I truly enjoy all aspects of SBG Athens. The kids martial arts program and coaches are exceptional, and my daughter truly enjoys her time there with these exceptional adult role models. She has made new friends and is developing a love of physical activity and confidence/comfort in her own skin.The Training for Warriors (TFW) program is an outstanding physical fitness program in which my wife and I participate weekly. We have seen physical, mental, and emotional improvements in ourselves thanks to TFW.The adult martial arts (BJJ/MMA) program has been a huge benefit to me as well. Not only has this program helped to improve my overall physical fitness, but it has helped improve my overall outlook on life.The most important thing any of us can say about SBG Athens is that we have made so many good friends because of this gym, that we never would have met otherwise. Because of this tribe our lives are better.

I don't yet know very much about good Jiu-Jitsu, but I do know that the path leading to it is long and arduous. I often question whether it is a path for which I'm cut out.. and I frequently feel inadequate, and unworthy of this tribe for which I've signed up, this amazing collection of individuals who are striving so adamantly to find better versions of themselves. This is solely a reflection of my own insecurities, and it is nights like tonight that keep my perspective on this in check. I train at one of the best facilities in the WORLD, SBG Athens. I train under some of the best MMA/BJJ coaches to ever play this game, Adam Singer and Rory Singer, and the amazing staff they have cultivated through many years of chasing good people, not just good Jiu-Jitsu. I have so many amazing training partners that I don't even know how to begin thanking them all. Everyone who I had the pleasure of rolling with tonight brought the perfect energy, and it was energy that I had been needing. I'm not perfect, but I'm here, and I'm trying. And I'm in the right place for it. I'm at SBG, and I'll be ok. Thank you all so much for reminding me.

Rory and the tribe have been exceedingly welcoming and encouraging. My son started going twice a week and we really liked the atmosphere and the people so I decided to join the beginner classes for adult. We look forward to every time we are at the gym and the coaches are phenomenal at what they do. My son and I both are excited to see where our journey with the tribe takes us.
