About Me


SBG UK Manchester is the UK headquarters for Straight Blast Gym International. Based in central Manchester, it attracts students from all over the north west of England. There are classes held 7 days a week in Brazillian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, vale tudo and submission grappling.
The gym also caters for individual training with private lessons held every day. SBG UK has hosted seminars with many top national and international instructors including Matt Thornton, the president of Straight Blast Gym International.
If group classes are not your thing or you just want to supplement them and therefore you would like a more personal approach, we also offer private lessons. This gives you the opportunity to work one to one with one of our full time professional coaches who will devise a program to meet your individual needs. Private lessons can be booked as a one off or as a block booking. To discuss your requirements, just drop into the gym or e-mail us at [email protected]
You can take privates on any aspect that the gym offers - specific BJJ or nogi grappling lessons, MMA lessons, standup fighting, boxing, sport specific conditioning, general physical conditioning etc...
