SBG Bury BJJ & MMA

Soooo happy I finally plucked up the courage and joined SBG's jiu-jitsu beginners classes. I kept putting off joining as I was so nervous - it was something entirely different to anything I've ever done. Now I wish I had joined years ago! Everyone is so welcoming. As soon as you enter the gym any fears of being intimidated or being on show completely go away and the awesome instructors help you feel comfortable, focus on building up your skills, as well as your strength and confidence. I would really urge more girls to join - if you've been thinking about it don't put it off any longer! I'm 7 weeks in and loving it! More...

I am happy to say I feel like a long distance student to Glyn and the Bury BJJ & MMA staff! I routinely have access to their instruction through their Facebook group including some student filmed videos of technique and vital concepts. If I didn’t live in the states, I’d definitely be making my way to this gym. Join their Facebook group, ask questions and enjoy the fruit and conversation of people passionate about the art! More...

I’m very new to BJJ and like many beginners who start rolling, it’s felt rather like being toyed with by polite gorillas. Glyn’s approach is about teaching and linking the fundamental, underlying principles that make BJJ so effective . Even at this early stage, he’s really helped me start to grasp the thread that seems to run through BJJ - bio mechanical efficiency. Glyn is an excellent teacher and quite simply, you’ll get better through his classes whatever your belt. More...

If you have ever been remotely interested by BJJ or learning a full contact martial art get in touch with Glyn. The way in which he teaches is accessible and the members of the club are welcoming no matter your level, age, gender or level of fitness. I've been training with Glyn for 4 years now and his skill and teaching is world class. His ability to analyse and teach the fundamental skills of BJJ are amazing and my skill as a practitioner has grown accordingly. More...

Coach Glynn has one of the most intelligent minds in Jiu-Jitsu, his attention to detail blows my mind every time I’m lucky enough to attend his sessions at SBG camp. I would 1000% recommend you join SBG Ramsbottom/Bury BJJ if you are interested excelling in Martial Arts More...

SBG Ramsbottom has not only taught me BJJ, but they have taught me patience, resilience, strength and self-discipline. Talking as a tiny, nervous girl who struggles graciously with overwhelming anxiety - grappling with a load of huge men seems like the scariest situation to ever put yourself in. After 3 sessions, I've quickly learned that it's actually the most empowering thing I've ever done. Starting BJJ is ultimately the best decision I ever made for my confidence, my physical health but mostly my mental health. The coaches at SBG ensure you are safe and happy at all times, giving nothing but praise and encouragement throughout a session free of judgement and pressure, while tailoring their lessons to be relevant - i.e. relating a specific move to a real-life/self-defence situation which I believe is essential for everybody to learn. If I can do it, anyone can. I highly recommend you come for a session, but be warned, you'll become addicted and want to come back every day. More...

My boys trained with Glyn for the first time this week.They had loads of fun and learnt so.much in an hour. Best of all, they learnt how to practice safely at home. Glyn is a great teacher and took the time to make sure they felt very included in the group.They can't wait to go back next week! More...

This is my second time being taught by Glyn, he came to SBG South Shields to teach a seminar and immediately you can tell you are in the hands of a top coach. Everything he teaches makes sense, is usually a very simple adjustment and I immediately felt like a better grappler after both interactions. He's world class at what he does, is very approachable and an all around great guy. If you're in the area you are spoilt having him so close and you should take advantage. It will be worth it. Thank you mate More...

Glyn is a friendly, articulate and very knowledgable instructor.
