SBG Sparks

"Enrolled my daughter here in the teens class to learn some new skills since her friend was joining. Ray is an excellent instructor and great with the kids. He brings several years of experience to the table and his coaching style is easy to follow for the teens. The facility is clean and new, and the monthly membership is worth it. Coach Jason also is a great asset to the team. We hope to continue to train here and move up the ranks."

"My family and I have traveled extensively across the United States for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) competitions, and we have trained in various gyms along the way. Without a doubt, SBG SPARKS stands out as hands down the best of the best! From kids to beginners and advanced practitioners, our little family encompasses all levels of skill, and we can’t praise SBG SPARKS enough. This gym offers an exceptional learning environment that is safe, progressive, and fun. The variety of experienced and caring coaches creates a nurturing atmosphere where everyone can thrive. The instructors at SBG SPARKS are not only highly intelligent and driven but also genuinely care about their students. Coach Ray Price 3rd degree black belt , in particular, brings decades of experience in both BJJ and real-life situations, striving to ensure that no matter your weight, height, size, or gender, you’ll gain the knowledge necessary to confidently navigate challenging situations. The BJJ programs here are inclusive and cater to everyone—from the youngest children in the SBG’s "Growing Gorillas" class to beginners and seasoned adults in the Foundations and CAP classes. The facility itself is well-equipped, with a strong emphasis on safety, respect, and cleanliness, making it a wonderful place to train. Joining SBG SPARKS has been one of the best decisions my family and I have ever made. The improvements in my confidence and strength have been remarkable.
