Fighting in this range pulls almost entirely from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Whether with a gi or without, BJJ is by far the most effective art for fighting on the ground. SBGi's Portland Gym has several BJJ black belt Coaches, giving members access to some of the best BJJ training available anywhere in the world! MMA is the combination of the above stated skill sets, integrated into one complete and effective game. The Coaches at SBG Portland will help you develop your skills in a fun, safe and healthy environment. An environment designed for people of all ages, backgrounds, and objectives. From our MMA fight team athletes, to a man or woman in their 50's who just want a fun way to get in shape. Our MMA classes will help you get there.
