Straight Blast Gym of Bend

“We were visiting Bend on vacation, and my 5-year-old grey belt had an upcoming tournament, so he wanted to get some rolling in while we were here. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming! The coaches were patient, encouraging, and created a fun, structured environment for the kids. He had a great time training, getting some solid rolls in, and learning new skills. It’s clear this gym values both technique and community. If we lived in Bend, this would definitely be our go-to spot for jiu-jitsu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly and high-quality training experience!”

“SBG Bend is not only a beautiful gym but the place and the people have heart. If you’re looking for a community in Bend that makes it really easy to love yourself, others and most importantly the art of jiu jitsu, this is the gym for you. And guys, there’s a sauna, come on!”

“Absolutely fantastic gym and community here! My wife and I both felt incredibly comfortable in the classes as newcomers. Coach Brian has created a supportive, safe, and encouraging environment that is second to none. He really cares about his students and about fostering a community that gets the best support possible for each individual journey. Highly recommend checking SBG out if you are interested in any martial art!”

“My son started jiu-jitsu at SBG just a few months ago, and the growth we've seen—in his physical strength, confidence, character, and resilience—has been remarkable. The coaches and team are exceptional in every way. We've truly become part of a caring, supportive, and inspiring community of leaders, students, and families. This gym nurtures not only athletic development and safety but personal growth as well. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend it to anyone seeking something more than just a sport.”

“We normally train at the Straight Blast Gym in Portland but decided to get some rolls in while on vacation in the area. What an amazing gym with very welcoming and knowledgeable instructors. We will definitely be back and wished we lived closer, I hope all that do decide to check it out!”
