Testimonials

"SBG has taught me a lot of things, but most important; control, discipline, and to think before you do something."

- Sabian Wheeler (SBG Kids Class, Jiu-Jitsu white belt):

"SBG Bedfordview is without a doubt one of the best BJJ/MMA gyms available in South Africa today. Amazing vibe, incredible coaches and a world class training ethic. Not only a great place to train, but also build long lasting friendships. One Tribe, One Vibe."

- Danny Viola (SBG MMA competitor, Muay Thai practitioner, Jiu-Jitsu white belt)

I've learned that self-control is key and that the little things count. (think before you do something)

- Luke Kent-Brown (SBG Kids Class, Jiu-Jitsu white belt/Beginner)

“Wide variety of training from stand up boxing and MMA to Jiu-Jitsu GI and noGI classes. High degree of skill in the coaching helps to cater from the average Joe to our current competition fighters. But the best of it is the family friendly orientated vibe that leaves egos at the door.

- Dale M Clarke (ACMA CGMA UK)

“SBG changed my life. It has made me more humble and confident. It has introduced me to a passion that allows me to grow as a person.”

- Dean Bagnall

"I have known coaches Sergio, Kay and Paul for a long time now. Besides being great people, their training methods are very functional, relevant and enjoyable. Their coaching curriculum was further enhanced when they aligned with SBG International where the training content and methods are very practical and the results or outcomes have been very successful. I can recommend SBG Bedfordview to anyone, regardless of age. Whatever your objectives or goals are within combative sports, SBG Bedfordview and the coaches will help you accomplish them.”

In the words of Jocko Willink: “Send your child to Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo or boxing. Please. It will prevent them from being bullied and it will prevent them from becoming bullies themselves!"

- Darren Bagnall
