As a retired combat athlete and former pro-wrestler, I decided to take up yoga and jiu jitsu to keep active.
Coaches Mike and Kaylee have been incredible! The tribe they have built through providing a safe place for people of all ages and skill levels is just incredible, patient, and kind.
Even though some things are challenging for me as an amputee, they help me figure out how to adapt and overcome my challenges.
The quality of the jiu jitsu coaching is exceptional, and the yoga (an awesome form of Korean stretching performed on the floor) has helped me maintain my mobility and improved my flexibility beyond what physical therapy offered.

Best decision we’ve made for my 9 year old. They teach him to be respectful and to be disciplined while at the same time having a great time! The coaches are great I've seen a big improvement in my son’s confidence. Definitely recommend all kiddos to join SBG New Braunfels.

The adult classes are run well. I trained for over 10 years at various gyms in various states but I then took about seven year break shortly after my daughter was born and although I missed the community, I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to get back on the mat. My priority was finding a place that not only had good instructors but also a safe environment for us slightly older folk that are trying to avoid injuries. It’s good to be able to train at 100% but you still have to know that your training partners don’t have a culture of being idiots and potentially injuring you unnecessarily. SBGI New Braunfels does a great job of attracting good people and after seeing how they ran things and meeting a few people, I signed up and I’m now back to taking classes.

We brought our 6yr old here for her very first experience in the Jujutsu world. Her first class we knew we were in the right place. They told her to get on the mats and start participating and i loved the hands-on experience. That is the only way to really show her if she was going to like the class. She was a very shy and timid girl and now she is super confident and can focus a lot more.
Love this place

I've been training at SBG Texas since the doors opened. It is the best Jiu -Jitsu school in the area without question. The owners are incredibly kind and have made the members a tribe. It's a family friendly atmosphere with adults of all ages, demographics and sizes training there. The kids’ program is exceptional and focuses on life skills and building the future leaders of our community. If you're interested in self-defence, , BJJ, and/or becoming a better version of yourself, come to SBG.

We’ve been taking our 6 year old son to SBG for a little over a year now and the progress we’ve seen in his focus, impulse control, and overall behaviour has been amazing. He’s learning a ton about jiu jitsu as well as goal setting and how to achieve those goals.

Coach Kaylee has been amazing and accommodating towards the kids as well as showing the kids what it means to be disciplined. Keep rocking SBG!

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. They focus on life lessons and techniques to use in the gym and real life. We are so happy we found them after trying out a couple of BJJ gyms before them. If you think you are interested contact them and they will allow you to attend some classes free of charge to see if it’s a good fit. SBG is a blessing to its members and the community.

My son has been attending since June and there has been a complete change in him. He is more confident, his listening skills have improved, he is more motivated, and has been excelling in school.
He loves going to class every week and says the coaches are AMAZING ! He always has fun while learning physical and mental skills he has started applying to his daily life. He says this is his forever gym. We could not be happier !

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. This January, I started my BJJ journey. When I met my coach, Michael Heinz, he explained what SBG was, the people involved, from that interaction that day I was in. Of course, I was nervous, intimidated on day one. But the SBG community was very welcoming and showed the way.
Each class Coach Michael, Coach Kaylee, and the other coaches break down the details of Jiu-jitsu so you can absorb as much as possible. It is awesome!! Each class keeps you engaged, and I find myself wanting to come back.
This past weekend was another layer to solidify me wanting to continue to learn and grow in the sport. I was able to participate in a seminar with my coaches, coach Dr. John Frankl 5th degree black belt. Two days of leg locks. Let me tell you that was another level of breaking down the fine details of leg lock. Literally from the toes on up. Thank you, Coach Frankl, for the amazing seminar. I look forward to the next one. Coach Michael and Coach Kaylee and SBG Family, it was a great experience.

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-defence training or BJJ and experienced individuals looking to continue their training. They have a developed curriculum for children focused on life skills and BJJ techniques, aimed at producing well rounded children both on and off the mats. They have a variety of classes specializing in kickboxing, yoga, and weight training. One of the highlights of this gym is its ladies only class / open mat! My family started our BJJ journey in this gym over 2 years ago. We love our SBG family. We cannot recommend SBG New Braunfels enough!

SBG Texas is a unique place where people from all walks of life come together to do Jiu Jitsu, but also do life. It doesn’t take very long to feel like you are part of a nice tight knit family that you look forward to seeing all the time. They also team up with other local business that members have ties to, which is pretty awesome. The classes are well structured and meant to improve your skill and understanding of BJJ. The coaches welcome and encourage question, which isn’t always the case in other gyms. They are also willing to work with you after class if you need a little more guidance. Overall, you get all the BJJ your heart desires, and then some. Try an introduction class and see for yourself!

SBG Texas is a great place to learn and train. Not only does it foster an environment conducing to learn BJJ, it has established a tribe. You tell that the owner and patrons deeply care for one an other. This is not your typical learn technique for 10 minutes then roll and get beat up for 50 minutes. All 60 minutes classes is focused on learning and improving technique. I can not say enough good things about this gym. I fill my BJJ has gotten five times better in the 6 months I have been going here. Thank you SBG Texas for the love and training that you have given me.

We have been apart of the SBG community for over 2 years now. We switched from another gym in town and it has been the best decision. No other gym in town compares to the SBG growing gorillas program for kids. They provide a fun but structured environment that both of our boys have thrived in. The coaches not only focus on Jiu jitsu techniques but also incorporate real life skills such as leadership, independence and focus that will help set kids up to be successful in life. For the adults, SAFETY is the number 1 priority at SBG. The adult program will teach you many practical self defense techniques in a safe environment. You will not regret joining the SBG tribe!
