Enrolling our 10-year-old daughter at SBG New Braunfels has been a truly life-changing decision…read more After trying four other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms in the area, we finally found the perfect fit here. Since joining, we have seen a massive shift in her confidence and assertiveness. Beyond the mats, she has learned the true importance of discipline. The "ripple effect" of her training has been felt across our entire household; she has started stepping up in so many ways and now finds her daily chores and responsibilities to be more meaningful as they align with the monthly character development lessons. SBG runs a wonderful program. They are incredibly intentional--it's not just about the technique, but about the overall growth of the individual. The coaches/ staff are all fantastic, and the facilities are always clean and welcoming. We 100% recommend SBG and love being a part of this family! Our only regret is that we didn't start sooner.

As a retired combat athlete and former pro-wrestler, I decided to take up yoga and jiu jitsu to…read morekeep active. Coaches Mike and Kaylee have been incredible! The tribe they have built through providing a safe place for people of all ages and skill levels is just incredible, patient, and kind. Even though some things are challenging for me as an amputee, they help me figure out how to adapt and overcome my challenges. The quality of the jiu jitsu coaching is exceptional, and the yoga (an awesome form of Korean stretching performed on the floor) has helped me maintain my mobility and improved my flexibility beyond what physical therapy offered.

I recently brought my 3-year-old son to try this karate class. He absolutely loved it, and as a…read moreparent, I was excited for him to learn structure, discipline, and focus -- which is exactly what martial arts is supposed to teach young kids. Unfortunately, after the class, the instructor told us that because it was hard for him to focus and he accidentally hit another child, we should 'bring him back in a few months.' While I understand every class has different teaching styles, it was discouraging to hear that instead of working with him where he's at, they suggested he come back when he's already more disciplined -- which, ironically, is what we hoped the class would help him with. I want other parents to know that if your child is energetic, hyperactive, or still learning self-control (as most toddlers are!), this may not be the right fit. I hope in the future the program will feel more welcoming to all kids, including those who could benefit most from what martial arts teaches.

Do not waste your money, coaches are not coaching. One wears dirty " white" Gi without a rush guard! Disgusting! No respect for mat, people are allowed to sit on it with their shoes on. Find a different location or school if you are serious about jiu jitsu.

I trained at this academy regularly, competed with the team, and for most of my membership…read moreconsidered the gym and its members an important part of my life. I learned a great deal, developed meaningful friendships, and previously had a positive relationship with the coaches. As a veteran, Jiu-Jitsu had become more than a recreational activity for me. It provided structure, community, purpose, and a constructive way to manage the transition out of military service. This context made the end of my membership particularly significant for me. Management developed concerns about my communication style, but I was not spoken to directly or informed that my membership was at risk. I later learned that the coach's wife had been discussing her concerns about me with one of my close friends for approximately one month. My friend repeatedly stated that she believed I was joking rather than intending disrespect and offered to speak with me about it. She was told that the coaches would handle the matter. No coach raised these concerns with me directly. And because my personality had never changed and had previously been accepted and interpreted positively, I had no reason to believe it was suddenly unacceptable and that a narrative was being built. When I later became aware that a joke in the team group chat had been interpreted as disrespectful, I sent my coach a private apology and explained that disrespect had not been my intention. I did not receive a response. This shows that once aware of issues, I was willing to adjust, apologize and communicate. It also shows that my coach and his wife are incapable of direct communication. Shortly thereafter, my membership was terminated by phone. The decision was communicated by my coach's wife. I did not receive a direct explanation from the coach who had worked with me most closely, mentored me, and had been preparing me to compete. During the call, I requested a conversation to better understand the concerns, provide my perspective, and assess whether the situation could have been addressed differently. I was informed that the decision was final and not open for discussion. I was not given a warning, a clear opportunity to correct the behavior, or a detailed explanation prior to the termination of my membership and my involvement with the team. I felt betrayed and discarded by someone I looked up to, admired and wanted to make proud. To have someone you trust not deem you worthy of even a single conversation felt like the cruelest abuse of trust. The last thing said to me during that conversation was "I hope your next gym gets your sense of humor", which was just an unnecessary insult and clearly a veiled insult driven by a personal vendetta that I was not privy to. I understand that a privately owned academy has the authority to determine membership. My concern relates to how that authority was exercised. Concerns were discussed with someone close to me over a period of weeks while I was not informed. An opportunity for direct communication was not taken, my apology was not acknowledged, and the matter was concluded without a direct conversation with the coach who had mentored me. I remain appreciative of the training and relationships I developed while I was there. However, I would not recommend this academy to students--particularly veterans or others who rely on Jiu-Jitsu for structure and community--if they prioritize transparent communication, clear expectations, and an opportunity to address concerns before membership termination. Update following the response: I understand the decision not to discuss these supposedly existent "private details" in a public forum. However, the central concern in my review is that they also declined to discuss those concerns with me privately. I was not warned that there was an alleged "pattern of conduct", my apology was not acknowledged, and my request for a direct conversation with my coach was denied. Their response does not address that communication process, which remains the basis of my review. Do better, Steven.
