  Our Year 1 children took part in a jujitsu session at SBG, and it was a fantastic experience. The session was run exceptionally well, with instructors who were friendly, encouraging, and highly professional. They worked wonderfully with the children, helping to build their confidence and resilience. Even our more sensitive pupils felt comfortable and thrived in the supportive environment.

  SBG South Shields is the epitome of an environment where you are surrounded by a team of super capable and caring coaches. They offer a range of physical activities like MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, striking, wrestling and functional fitness. They are able to transfer the knowledge in simple but stimulating ways. Classes are convenient, consistent and engaging. The members are really great people and everyone has their own goals but want the overall level to be of a high standard. There is a good mix of different activities for everyone to attempt and commit to. Alex and his team care about people. The facility is welcoming, world class and brings out the best from everyone that comes through the doors. Highly recommended it; whether you are a parent wanting to have coaching for the kids or teenagers wanting to learn life skills. There is a class structure for young adults who want a healthy outlet for their energy and everyone that trains across the various age groups can take the path to work towards being a pinnacle competitor. More mature adults also can participate at whatever level suits your fitness goals or transformation. Best mat to be on in the North East any day of the week.💪🙏👍

  I have visited the club while away with work a couple of times now and am always blown away by the club. The facilities are huge and very clean, whilst Alex's coaching incredibly detailed with tonnes of enthusiasm. The atmosphere is great and everyone is very welcoming!

  Spoke to Coach Alex regarding setting up PT lessons. All the coaches at SBG are extremely welcoming and it honestly made me feel like I’m home from the first lesson. Coach Alex possess a wealth of knowledge and go above and beyond just training you for combat sports. There are life lessons to be learned from time spent with him as well. The open mat area is HUGE and very clean before and after the classes. One thing I really like about SBG is how affordable classes and memberships are and how there is a parking area right in front of it.

  My son (who was 16 at the time) started SBG in 2023, walking through the doors on his own, (not knowing anyone or having any experience in MMA) I can hands down say it was one of the best decisions he’s ever made. After a few weeks of consistent training every night he could, I started see a real passion starting to take hold of him and a love for MMA starting to grow. Months past and he stayed consistent and dedicated himself to wanting to learn, develop and strive to take in all he could from his brilliant coaches as well as other people of all ages who were also training at SBG South Shields (either to get fit, learn/develop a new skill or training for fights) After less than a year and some inter-clubs he was then given the opportunity to fight and won his first K1 and then followed by his first MMA debut which he also won. Now as a parent of a teenager I can not express how happy and proud I am that not only has my son developed and learnt so many amazing skills, but he is building confidence and tactical skills he will take with him through into adulthood. All of the fantastic coaches at SBG have not only trained and developed my sons ability to learn MMA from a beginner (and continue to do so) but they have helped him gain that amazing feeling of becoming a winner and he’s gained a second family. A safe place to go and learn to channel a passion and love for MMA that he’s developed through simply walking through those doors at SBG South Shields, and that just continues to grow with the support of his coaches and his dedication to want to keep learning and get better. I honestly could not recommend SBG South Shields enough, not only for the skills, development and fitness, but for a safe place to build confidence and a passion for something in a safe sensible way. I can’t thank Alex, Mitch and all of the coaches at SBG enough for the amazing journey my son has started and is on with them and can’t wait to see where it goes! Honestly the Best decision you will ever make is to send your child to SBG South Shields, or even walk through the doors yourself as an adult! 🦍One tribe, one vibe 🦍
