Straight Blast Gym Buford

I couldn’t give enough credit to the coaches and everyone at SBG. Whether you want to put yourself or kids into martial arts, SBG is the way to go! The entire staff will take care of you! I was a member a few years back and had to leave and take care of personal issues. I came back and i was treated like I never left! All of the coaches get hands on and help you get your technique just right whether it be in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai or any of the classes. Not only do you feel like a member of the Tribe from day one you are! All of the coaches are super articulate and help you not only learn new techniques and skills, they teach you to not get hurt and to train smart. I could go on and on in this review. But to anyone reading this and wondering whether it’s the right move, I will tell you from experience... Just jump in and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

By far the best gym I’ve ever been to. Every single coach in that gym from coach are super nice, super friendly, super respectful and encouraging. For the first time doing jiu jitsu at SBG..It was the best decision I’ve made. Since this was all new to me I didn’t really know If this was going to be for me but with jiu jitsu I’ve learned so much of what my body is capable of doing and the fact that you have friends( feels like family) to just push and encourage you is great. They offer private lessons as well if regular classes get big so improvement is always there if you’re willing to show up and put in the work as well. If you’re looking for a safe and fun environment for you or kids to learn any martial arts, this is a the place for you.. you will not regret it. And the merchandise they have is so fire, love wearing their stuff and representing SBG. Thank you SBG for making my new experience so welcoming and can’t wait to grow in my jiu jitsu journey! Much love and respect to every single coach at SBG and couldn’t be more thankful and blessed that I get to train at the best martial arts gym in the world.

I have been going to Straight Blast Gym for 8 years and it has been a truly life changing experience. The coaches all consistently deliver incredible programming and focus on each individual's pace and needs. No matter your level of fitness, you will be encouraged and pushed to achieve your best results. SBG truly is a strong tribe of supportive coaches and members.

I signed up during the quaranteam deal and haven’t regretted it. I had previous experience in bjj with another school and am glad I found SBG. The biggest difference I have seen is the attention to detail and time dedicated to new members with little experience via the foundations program. This introduction has made it more inviting and held my interest. Other schools throw you in with everyone and you essentially just serve as a crash dummy for the more experienced members. SBG makes sure you have a good foundation so you can enjoy the process rather than just throwing you to the wolves. Awesome gym!

This is the greatest thing I have ever experienced in my life. Not just the gym (which is phenomenal), but martial arts in general. It has taught me so much about my body, humility, passion, and hard work. The coaches here are amazing, they make it very easy to acclimate to all the new techniques. I'm very grateful for this place, and I recommend anyone who wants to train, practice, work out, or simply learn, should definitely check out SBG Buford. It has a family vibe, you feel at home. It's a place of recluse and refuge for me. And though I came with the intention of getting good enough to compete, people of any skill level or goal can come and benefit from the amazing coaches and staff. A very special shout out to coachs Pat, Phil, Sean, Woo and Jim. They have really been patient with me throughout my process. I know I must be a difficult student to handle, because I'm not that good yet, but I have a drive that they nurture, and it's not just me, they treat everyone like that. So it doesn't matter what age, skill level, or intention, I HIGHLY recommend any and everyone to give Straight Blast Gym a chance. It changed my life for the better, and I'm sure it will be a similar experience for you as well.

Joined a little over a month ago, when I was looking for a new gym to call home. I have been so impressed with the coaches and staff at SBG. I’m learning so much every class and genuinely feel like I matter. They truly embody the ‘one vibe one tribe’ mentality and I love it. Looking forward to an amazing future at SBG!

I wanted to continue my practice of BJJ but was not sure what to expect changing gyms. I found SBG Buford which happened to be close to my house and wandered in and absolutely fell in love with how the gym is set up and how they teach all the forms of MMA. It's not simply just get in and start rolling/striking. They teach you fundamentals that really improve whatever you are practicing. I can't say enough how much I really enjoy this place.

I’ve struggled with finding a gym that I truly like because I enjoy both CrossFit and Kickboxing. These two are rarely offered at the same place. SBG offers both and they alternate the 9:30 AM class. SBG makes it easy for me to choose to do kickboxing one day or performance (crossfit) another day without changing my workout schedule. I love the energy that SBG brings into the workouts. I also like that the workouts are different every time I come in. The trainers are very knowledgeable and correct my form so that I am safe, comfortable, and yet doing what’s most effective. The fact that the restrooms have “showers” and “child care” room is a game changer! Most kickboxing or CrossFit gyms do not offer those two things. Pricing is cool for all that’s being offered!

From the day i signed my son up for their chimps program almost 2 years ago, the staff and coaches there have been amazing! They communicate real well with the children and the parents. My wife and I are never blind sided. My son loves it! It encouraged me enough to sign myself up for muay thai and bjj after a 2 year layoff on working out due to being injured on deployment and having to relearn to walk. They were very aware of my injury and have done their best to show me ways to modify my movements and positioning so as to not injure myself any further but still perform. It has now become a family affair for us with my wife signing up and once my 2nd son is old enough, i can assure you that he will be involved as well. To say i love SBG is an understatement. Keep up the good work!

This is a long overdue five star review. I have been a member at sbg for many years and have always had a fantastic experience. Jim and Phil are great guys and run a fantastic gym. Sbg is always clean, always staffed with knowledge and professional people, and is a family environment I would recommend to anyone. If you want amazing results and to have fun doing it, check out sbg in Buford. World class gym.
