I highly recommend SBG. I was quite out of shape and had a little experience in Mauy Thai and was given lots of time and support by the more experienced coaches and fighters. Sessions are well planned out, safety is really considered (including hygeine) and theres a great inclusive positive vibe. Definitely give it a go!

I have been to two other MMA gyms in the area and this place was by far the cleanest. Students are encouraged to sanitise their feet prior to stepping on the mat which is a plus for avoiding infectious skin diseases (If you’re new to the gym/martial arts environment, try to read up on antibiotics resistant Staph, Herpes and Ringworm which are more commonplace than you imagine). The class sizes at SBG are decent and do not feel ‘factory’-sized. Students are mostly men of mixed demographics and ages however everyone is highly respectful, supportive and welcoming. You will need to go through the fundamentals to get graded in order to begin sparring which helps students to be more aware of their technique and safety while physically engaging with others. Head Coach Ben is a patient, friendly and skilled teacher. The other instructors are also equally great people. Would definitely recommend this place if you have been considering it.

Coach Ben was a fantastic teacher and cares about every students. Treats everyone with respect and the knowledge is absolutely phenomenal. David

Awesome gym. Did the Alta program at SBG and all the coaches and participants were super humble and welcoming. Facilities really good. Highly recommend training here. Thanks for everything guys. Orion

Fantastic place to train!! World class innovative techniques grounded in rock-solid fundamentals. Modern facility with the highest levels of hygiene and a super-respectful, welcoming gym culture. Growth mindset and skills development with regular encouragement towards improvement. It’s great to train alongside new rising stars of MMA. Very grateful to Ben and his team of high-level coaches for sharing their knowledge and fostering my own BJJ and martial arts journey.

Amazing facility and tutoring atmosphere! Head coach Ben is really friendly and energetic!Recommend for all people willing to learn martial art.

Having moved around a bit I have trained at quite a few places. This has been the best spot by far. Ben is an extremely good coach; conceptual, systematic, and relevant. The team culture is very friendly yet focussed. I think I improved more in 2 years here than I did in 4 years elsewhere.

Great gym, great coach. The short time I was there the team was welcoming and great to train with. Ben and the other coachs/team where great. If I didn’t move I’d be there still. See you guys again one day!

I had the pleasure of attending this martial arts gym for a bit less than a year, and it was a great experience. I joined with the goal of improving my fitness level while learning both kickboxing and jiu jitsu. The coaches at this gym are incredibly knowledgeable in their respective disciplines. Their expertise and passion for martial arts are evident in every session. They provided clear instructions and valuable feedback to help me improve my skills. Not only were the coaches exceptional, but the members and fellow trainees were also friendly and welcoming. There was a high level of hygiene maintained throughout the gym. The facility was clean, and proper sanitization protocols were diligently followed. I had to leave this gym due to relocating back home. If circumstances were different, I would have undoubtedly continued training here. I definitely recommend this gym for anyone looking to pursue martial arts training. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this gym offers top-notch coaching, a welcoming community, and an overall fantastic experience. Yashwin

Excellent space with a great crew and fantastic process. Inclusive environment with all skill levels working together. this creates an environment where you really can get as much from the experience as you put in. super supportive crew, great chance to build up your mma skills for competition or just for personal training

A great MMA gym with a very strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu core with many high level and experienced coaches, and a very welcoming environment. Reasonably priced for a MMA gym and many classes and open mat sessions throughout the week

Great Gym, Ben is an excellent teacher, very patient, goes over the drills in detail and has made me feel very welcome! I would highly recommend🙏

Perfect place for any level you are at. There are a plenty of different classes at different skill levels to work on your ground game and striking. You will get out what you put in thanks to the coaches.

Very well structured MMA gym. Coaches are very knowledgable in BJJ and grappling with a great foundation for striking technique. Gym and members are very open and friendly which is a rarity in many MMA gyms filled with ego's. Couldn't recommend more for anyone looking to build a foundation in MMA.

Would be surprised to hear that this isn’t the best place in Sydney to train for mma. Have been to another one but this place seems to offer the best training structure, expertise and space. Great inclusive vibe, awesome training and overall good team that has a strong engagement in mma competitions and fights. Recommend

Visited the Gym while on a work trip to Sydney - I’m so glad I did. The coaches are all brilliant, the instruction excellent and everyone was incredibly welcoming. Felt like I was at my home gym! Can’t recommend highly enough - and looking forward to visiting again.

great gym friendly people training- no egos. Gym is super clean hygiene and cleanliness is very important part of the gym. Head coach Ben very approachable and professional. Looking forward to getting back into training when doors open back up

Highly recommend coming here to learn the fundamentals before progressing to their higher level classes. Teaching is very thorough with classes and movements broken down well, you really learn a lot and have fun doing it!

Pro MMA school, great staff and very clean training area. Highly recommended!!

I’ve been going to SBG Leichhardt since November ‘21. The facility is amazing, the coaches are fantastic and members extremely friendly. Quality vibes all around.

Having trained martial arts for 20+ years, I am sticking with SBG for several reasons: - very friendly atmosphere - clear focus on individual development, questions are always welcome - no fuss rules, no need to buy branded equipment, no fees for grading, etc - great sessions times, lots of choice from mid day to week nights to Sat morning - adapted for recreational practitioners, competitors and mma fighters

If you're interested in mma/fight sports and are worried about having to face down gym gunkies/beef heads/overly aggressive dudes then I can guarantee you won't get that here. Absolutely everyone I encountered at this gym had a good attitude, were there to teach/learn and were always open to helping you out, especially ben then owner. I started with no previous experience and have enjoyed every second of my time there.

Super friendly community with great coaches. Love it!

Amazing gym, coaching quality is incredible and probably the best available for MMA in the inner west. Highly recommend!

I have been training at SBG Australia for a couple of years, and can without a doubt say that the quality of the coaching, the friendliness of the students and the degree of knowledge coming from the coaches is world class. Would strongly recommend anybody interested in self-defence, mixed martial arts or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to attend the free week.

As someone who's trained at multiple MMA gyms I can honestly say this gym has the most warm and professional atmosphere towards women I've ever encountered. Ben (the head coach) is an absolutely fantastic person, communicator, and coach. He is one of the most elite athletes in his sport (jujitsu), and has cultivated a respectful, fun and competitive environment to train in. Cannot recommend this place more highly!

I signed up with Ben and the community just after end of lockdown and was the best decision I made of 2020. Awesome community of girls and guys, great open and inclusive culture and very supportive, accessable and great instructors for all levels. Would recommend to family and friends and anyone looking for a new fighting gym in Sydney. Thanks Ben and team!

Good and experienced coaching team! Friendly atmosphere and a good set of classes. Highly recommend!

Had trained a few years before coming to SBG and it is honestly the best gym I've found!

Fantastic gym, great coaches. Just an overall amazing place to train, would recommend it to anyone interested in bjj. 👍👍👍
