Part of a World-Class Martial Arts Movement
SBG International was founded over 30 years ago by Matt Thornton with a simple goal — find what actually works in martial arts and share it with the world. Built on the principle of ‘aliveness’ – training methods that are real, functional and pressure-tested — SBG quickly became one of the most respected martial arts organisations on the planet.
Today SBG International spans hundreds of affiliated gyms across the globe and has produced world champions including Conor McGregor, Mat Innman and countless others across MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
What makes SBG different is the curriculum. Unlike traditional martial arts schools that rely on choreographed techniques and rigid hierarchies, SBG’s approach is built on honest, effective training that works for everyone – beginners and champions alike. Every drill, every sparring session, every class is designed to make you better in the most direct way possible.
As a proud SBG International affiliate, SBG Bedfordview brings that same world-class curriculum and philosophy to Johannesburg. Our coaches are trained to SBG’s international standards and our classes reflect the same values that have made SBG a global force in martial arts.
When you walk through our doors in Bedfordview, you’re not just joining a local gym – you’re joining a worldwide tribe of martial artists who train smart, train hard, and genuinely look after each other. One tribe. One vibe.
