From the reviews
I’ve been training BJJ at SBG Bozeman for just over 6 months now and can confidently say this is the best gym in Bozeman. If you’re looking for somewhere to learn or improve your jiujitsu in Bozeman this is the place to do it. The community is great and the coaches all have their own unique abilities to offer.
While visiting town I stopped in and asked to participate in a couple classes in order to get a feel for the gym. I was greeted with a friendly but professional welcome, and after participating in a couple classes I was highly impressed by coach Ricky’s knowledge base and more significantly his ability to convey his…
My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to train in Bozeman while on vacation. We happened across SBG and Cheryl called us to discuss classes. When walking in aaron greeted us with open arms. Giving us a tour of their new, incredibly large jiujitsu gym.
SBG has been a great place for our daughter to learn bjj while making friends, but the best part is how the SBG coaching team takes the time and effort to incorporate real life skills for these young kids. Coach Jess and Coach Crosby lead by example and the kids respond well to that.
New to BJJ? Start at SBG Bozeman - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts - Gym
SBG Bozeman - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts - Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at SBG Bozeman - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts - Gym
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
