From the reviews
SBG has an excellent BJJ program. My son started 3 years ago and it has done so much for his confidence. He did the youth program and the leadership program and is now taking the adult classes. Coach Michael and Coach Kaylee coach with respect, kindness, and discipline.
It was a long day today at work. The heat didn't help, but no matter what. I always need to get the reps in either running miles or hitting the gym, but lately, it has been Jui-Jiu-jitsu in the mix. Life will always challenge you, always test you. This past year has definitely done that to me.
SBG New Braunfels provides the perfect environment for anyone looking to train BJJ. The open atmosphere is conducive to children and adults, beginners who are interested in self defense training or BJJ and experienced individuals looking to continue their training.
Meeting Kaylee day one and seeing how she and the coaches work with the kids have been so much fun. They truly care about the techniques and the kid's safety in and out of class. Sarah has been very helpful and eager to answer and questions that come her way. This feels like a tribe/family.
New to BJJ? Start at SBG New Braunfels Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School
SBG New Braunfels Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 New Braunfels Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School
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.
