Coach Mike and Becca are great teachers. I had a ton of fun in class, the other students were very welcoming and I got a great work out too.

I cannot recommend SBG Calgary enough. From the moment I walked through the doors, Mike and his instructors made sure I was welcomed. A highly supportive and friendly community that genuinely cares about your progress and well-being. The instructors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and approachable, always breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand for both beginners and advanced practitioners. The classes are well-structured, balancing technique, drilling, and live rolling, ensuring you get a great workout while consistently improving your skills. They also emphasize the importance of safety and respect on the mats, creating an environment where everyone can train confidently, no matter their level. The facility itself is top-notch—clean mats, excellent equipment, and plenty of space to train. Whether you’re looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or dive into competitive Jiu Jitsu, this gym offers something for everyone. Joining this gym has been a game-changer for me, both physically and mentally. If you’re thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to do it! Less

Great place for the entire family to learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Coach Becca and Coach Mike are knowledgeable, professional, personable, friendly, fun and more! They support you daily, classes are fun and there is a great community!

Mike and Becca are great instructors! Have trained with them many times even before the SBG calgary was opened to showcase their training methods.

After a few years away, finally got back to training and found SBG the perfect fit. Mike and Becca have a great approach to teaching the skills, which makes learning easier for me as an older student.

After a few years away, finally got back to training and found SBG the perfect fit. Mike and Becca have a great approach to teaching the skills, which makes learning easier for me as an older student. They focus on core principles like posture, position, control making space and closing distance. With these elements, I find I am learning the skills much faster and I can apply them in more that one situation, rather than simply learning isolated techniques. They have also created a fun community around the gym, with events for kids and adults to take part in. Things like Holiday Pot Luck, Gym Bingo, and Parent Nights Out. Thanks Mike and Becca. See you on the mats. Less

Coach Mike and Coach Becca are amazing. I had a great time training. Would definitely recommend it if you're in Calgary 👊🏼🤙🏽👏🏻

best place to learn jui jitsu..my daughter loves it..coaches are awesome.mike and becca.

If I could give beyond 5 stars I would, Mike and Bec personally check in on you, reach out to see how you’re doing and making sure you’re having a great time. They see you beyond just another head count. These coaches invest in you and your progress with BJJ! Joining SBG is joining a community of amazing individuals who are passionate about self improvement

Coaches literally welcomed our baby with a jiu jitsu onesie. You can’t get better than that.

Thank you so much!! Bec and Mike are an incredible network and resource. Studying under them is one of the best investments we’ve made. If you want coaches that care about you as a friend as well as your bjj progress, come to SBG Calgary. It’s not just a place to train but a community of people who share the passion for self defence, health, and fitness

A new gym to Calgary with clear instruction from 2 well organized, thoughtful Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt coaches. SBG emphasizes solid BJJ fundamentals to newer students, be they children or older adults. It is a very clean, specious environment with an emphasis on safety. If you’re looking for a sweat filled gym filled with hyper athletic dudes in their 20s beating the poop out of each other - this isn’t it. With that said, there IS a large group of highly talented kids many of whose I expect to turn into real competitors in the near future! As someone with several years experience wrestling, kickboxing and grappling I can recommend Mike and Rebecca and the Straight Blast Gum to anyone wanting to develop a solid, solid BJJ foundation!!

good facilities, abd a great place to do kickboxing and play basketball

Super friendly place Mike and Becca are awesome. Very Flexible schedule so you will not gonna miss any lesson.

Great place to train I started my jiu-jitsu journey a month ago I think mike and Becca are really good I always feel welcome

One word: AMAZING. Mike and Becca truly make this class engaging and fun. Not all just playing around though, as at the end of each class I feel like I've learned something new, or more deeply. I feel like I'm moving closer and closer to becoming a professional, every day. These people know what they're doing.

Очень приятно заниматься здесь :) Geat place for treaning! :)

Very friendly

Shoutout to our awesome jiu-jitsu coaches! Your dedication and support make training an incredible experience. Couldn’t ask for better mentors.

I enjoy SBG more and more,, every class is creative , challenging and works the mind and coordination, all with the physical fitness so needed. I highly recommend the class even if it is only once a week.

Mike and Becca they're great mentors, my son Noel is very happy to train with them.. thank you 😊

My Son recently got invited into CAP class and he absolutely loves it! Mike and Becca are very passionate about running and amazing organization and it shows.

Becca's Strike & Sweat kickboxing class is exactly that -- you'll punch, kick & sweat for an awesome, fun, exhausting hour of fitness. Her knowledge, patience and smile make every class worthwhile. Highly recommend!!

I registered my son in Jiu Jitsu class. He is learning self defense by Mike. He is best teacher we have ever met. He teaches him with so much dedication and patience. He is enjoying his class so much. He was having anxiety and was hesitant to start. Now he is getting confident day by day. Would strongly recommend his coaching. Very satisfied.

Fantastic gym! You’ll be well taken care of here with a top level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program for kids and adults!

Not a person to provide reviews really but this gym deserves one. Coach Mike and Coach Becca are fantastic in helping me in my martial arts journey. Inquiry: I was looking for a martial arts class and found this highly rated gym through Google. I called to inquire and was invited by Coach Mike to try a Jiu Jitsu class for free and see if it was what I was looking for. From the perspective of someone without prior martial arts experience, other than school PE, the atmosphere of the class had a good energy for learning and was not intimidating at all. Location: The gym is located within the YYC Active Sports Complex, with other sports classes. So entering the facility, the atmosphere has always been lively and energetic. It's also conveniently near the C-Train station, making it easily accessible. Enrollment: Payment was an easy process. After the trial class, I had a sit-down with the coach, who explained my options to pay one-time or monthly. Class Schedule: The adult foundations class has many sessions per week, making it easy to work my training time around my schedule. Ongoing Experience: I have been attending the class for more than two months and have not encountered any issues. The learning is hands-on, and safety has been the priority in every sparring/rolling session. I get partnered with various people, making the learning experience different in every class. Coach Mike and Coach Becca have always been great and patient in explaining the theories and steps for each lesson. Less

Becca and Mike have the experience and patience to teach you the benefits of practicing JiuJitsu. They have that magic touch with children passing on their passion for the sport and life skills that will be very useful in the future. Registering my daughter at Straight Blass Gym Calgary was our best decision ever, it has changed our life for the better.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Mike and Becca put emphasis on learning the fundamentals and student safety.

muy buena experiencia entrenar en SBG, he participado en las clases fundamentales y explica de muy buena manera las técnicas y todo el proceso y variables que se puedan dar.... Los coach MIKE y BECCA siempre positivos y preocupados por sus alumnos.....OSSSS

I have never done martial arts before and when I saw a BJJ gym open near my house, I had to check it. By the first interaction with Mike and Becca, I knew I wanted to sign up for lessons. In just a few short months I've gained the ability to defend not only myself but my wife and kid. Straight Blast Gym is a must if you are looking for a gym that treats you like family 🤝

Excelent team

It all started when I was helping a customer print some documents. I noticed the document Im working on was a flyer for a Jiu-Jitsu class. Something about it caught my eye, so I struck up a conversation and found out he was the coach [Mike]. On a whim, I asked if I could join his class, and he welcomed me with open arms.

That spur-of-the-moment decision turned out to be one of the best I've ever made. It’s been just over two months since I started training, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. I’ve learned techniques and skills I never thought I could master, and each class brings new challenges that push me to grow stronger, both physically and mentally. I'm proud of how far I've come, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me next. I've been training with Mike and Becca for a while now, and I can confidently say that they are truly incredible at what they do. Both are highly experienced in close combat arts, and I feel incredibly lucky to have them as my coaches. They’ve got my back every step of the way, making me feel like part of a tight-knit family here in Calgary If you’re considering joining Jiu-Jitsu classes, I highly recommend training with Mike and Becca. You won’t regret your decision. Man, words can’t even do it justice—being in Jiu-Jitsu class is next-level awesome. I’m gonna have to find a better way to show just how grateful I am soon enough🙂‍↕️✨😃😀 Less

We are so happy to be part of the tribe .....

Straight Blast gym is a very welcoming and fantastic gym. Great location and closer to my home. Mike and Becca are knowlegable and they teach you very well too. i want to learn grow, and improve more on BJJ and im glad to be part of the gym and community.

Mike and Becca are awesome instructors. They always help and guide me when i am struggling with BJJ. The members are amazing too. I am a beginner but I feel that my skills are progressing and improving. The classes makes me motivated to come more even if i have a tough schedule at work. I love going to SBG and will continue to learn and improve my BJJ with everyone and SBG.

I'm not martial arts specialist, but I know my 6 years old son and I'm watching closely his transformation since he joined SBG. He is someone else on both physical & psychological regards in mere couple of months. Becca & Mike have it all! professionalism, patience, kindness, commitment, the know how .. you name it. I mostly like the sense of responsibility they creat in kids, where those homeworks they provide are as important as classes making Jiu Jitsu a healthy daily routine and moreover, a way of life I wish my son would keep forever. SBG is my son's first attempt to tackle dedicated sport, and I feel lucky about it and as a new comer parent I believe it is the second best thing I provide to my son other than making it to Canada. I'm trying to make a long story short, but it is not that easy with SBG's huge impact on my son's life and ours as parents in turn. Becca & Mike .. thank you. SBG .. HANDS DOWN. Less

I'm really glad and satisfied I enrolled my 8 year old daughter in the classes. The coaches (senseis) work really well with the kids and are good with helping keeps the students focused. Recommend to anybody and their children as well.

Amazing facility with top-notch instruction and awesome gym culture!

Great instructors and a very welcoming environment for beginners. I recommend if you've been wanting to pick up a new hobby.

From beginners to advanced competitors this is a great place to train. My son trains here and it is extremely good for kids. The schedule is so flexible and easy to manage, they offer classes almost everyday of the week. My son is always looking forward to training, we love it here! Coach Becca and Mike are amazing!

First rate coaching and even better people, highly recommend!!!

My boys 11 & 9 have been coming here for over a month and Becca has been amazing with them. My kiddos are homeschooled so the mid-day training time is perfect for us. I sometimes bed-wrestle with my kiddos and my younger boy actually used jiujitsu techniques on me this morning! I was momentarily stunned but super proud haha.. glad my wifey found SBG Calgary 👍

One Tribe, One Vibe

I signed up my two boys and I am so impressed with their progress and the enthusiasm they have for learning Jiu Jitsu from Mike and Rebecca. The SBG experience has been super positive and I would highly recommend it.

My kids have been learning BJJ from Becca for the past month or so. Both my boys have been loving it. They look forward to their classes every Monday and are motivated to get stripes on their belts! Becca has a way of making children feel really comfortable and teaching them in a fun way. I'm so glad we discovered this place! 😊

What a safe and fun learning environment! As an adult woman with little to no martial arts experience, I was really apprehensive about joining a BJJ gym. For someone who feels like learning techniques never comes naturally, I was worried about not being able to keep up in class. I also feared that the environment would be intimidating (I pictured myself getting helplessly squashed like a bug in a class full of big and scary guys...) Safe to say that all my fears were completely unfounded! As soon as you join a class, the warmth and enthusiasm is immediately palpable. You are greeted by two incredibly capable and friendly black belts(!) and can't help but to feel excited for Mike and Becca to begin teaching. Classes are always organized, engaging, and taught with super clear direction, so even the most awkward of learners never feel left behind. And without fail, every class is FUN and leaves you feeling accomplished. Any maneuvers that seemed too complicated or impossible to do at first end up being achievable by everyone at the end of the class. This is all thanks to the thoughtful and patient coaching by both Mike and Becca. The SBG community here is undeniably positive and friendly, and includes many other awesome women (and non-scary guys :) ). It provides a comfortable environment for women to learn practical self-defense techniques. I whole-heartedly recommend the Calgary SBG gym to everyone, especially to those on the fence about joining! Come join us and have fun! Less

Great program! Flexible schedule and super fun. My son a little nervous but is doing great every time. They learn strength and discipline in a playful environment

My husband and 2 boys love Becca and Mike. They are very engaging and have a wealth of experience. They take their time with each group and never rush in between classes. 5 star hands down !

Mike and Becca are amazing instructors. They are very experienced and immediately make you feel welcome. I am learning a lot, the classes are fun and a good workout. My mobility is Also improving which is not something I was expecting but is an added bonus. Thank you Mike and Becca!

What an amazing gym , I love the vibe and my instructor Rebecca is AMAZING. I see her working with kids all the way up to professionals and she does everything with GRACE. Ps. Both Mike and Rebecca are role models, I would leave my kids with them in a heart beat. They teach respect and kindness in a way no other sport can.

It's clear that Mike and Rebecca are among the elite of their field. Not only in knowledge and expertise, but also being genuine and great people. I've been involved with Hapkido, Karate, and Jiu Jitsu my entire life and I can tell you that there are not many who can provide high quality instruction for every skill level the way Mike and Rebecca do.

Mike and Rebecca (truly both black belts in the art, and the wisdom that comes with time and experience) are both a gem to Calgary. Zero hesitation in joining SBG Calgary.

I cannot say enough positive things about Straight Blast Gym Calgary! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by Becca and Mike, who are outstanding instructors.

I cannot say enough positive things about Straight Blast Gym Calgary! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by Becca and Mike, who are outstanding instructors. They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly, which immediately helped ease my nerves as a complete beginner to Brazilian jiu jitsu. The facility itself is great—super cool and impeccably clean. The atmosphere is enjoyable and supportive, which is perfect for anyone, like myself, who was initially anxious about trying something new. Despite having absolutely ZERO prior experience, I wanted to develop self-defense skills and get in shape, so I decided to try Brazilian jiu jitsu. Mike and Becca's expertise and patience have been invaluable. They take the time to explain techniques thoroughly and ensure you feel comfortable and included. I am so excited for my classes each week and am having an absolute blast learning. If you're considering trying Brazilian jiu jitsu, especially if you're a woman feeling hesitant or nervous, I highly recommend Straight Blast Gym Calgary. Becca and Mike create a fantastic environment where everyone can thrive and grow. Thank you Becca and Mike! Less

Fantastic Gym with great Coaches highly recommend 🙌

Absolutely fantastic Gym, Mike and Becca are fantastic Coaches so knowledgeable and the classes are so fun, after my first lesson I felt so good with what I had learned and can't wait to learn more, 10/10 recommend 🙌

Great classes

I started BJJ with Mike and Becca at SBG Calgary a couple weeks ago. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape.

I started BJJ with Mike and Becca at SBG Calgary a couple weeks ago. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape. I had 0 previous experience with martial arts and was looking for a place where I could have an introduction to Jiu Jitsu under someone with a lot of experience. Mike and Becca were really welcoming and are incredibly patient. The Foundations classes are organized per day, and even if you miss a class, it will be repeated afterwards on another day. The gym is inside a huge sports complex, so it is a living space for other people too. If you're on the fence about whether you should start BJJ, I highly recommend you take a trial class. BJJ is an awesome physical activity where you get to learn self-defense and meet inspiring people. Less

The coaches here are the best!

I’ve been training with SBG for two years now. If you want to learn Jiu Jitsu, an SBG affiliated gym is the way to go, to be sure of a high standard and a well established system, with relentless focus on technique and efficiency. This club will be a great asset to Calgary.

Straight Blast Gyms are an exceptional organisation for both beginners and experienced BJJ practitioners alike, great coaches and a superb training ethos. I’ve been a member for 16 months and LOVE IT!

When you train at SBG you can be safe in the knowledge that you’re getting the best training around. Top notch instructors making it accessible and safe for all ages and abilities. It can be intimidating to go to a BJJ gym but at SBG I’ve found that the people are really welcoming, supportive and everyone just wants to get better and learn. If you’re looking for a martial arts gym, go here!

SBG is a global brand. I caught the BJJ bug a few months ago and would highly recommend it to anyone of any age and any ability. The instructors are excellent and will always help you out. Give it a go. You won’t regret it

It's SBG. I've trained with SBG for 5 years. One of the joys of training jiu jitsu with a global organisation like this is that wherever you go in the world you know that the instructors at an SBG gym will be world class and there'll be a great vibe. That's the standard. You don't get to put SBG above the door unless you're completely legit. If you're in Calgary, your choice of jiu jitsu gym ju... More

Mike and Rebecca are vastly experienced mixed martial artists with multi degree black belts in BJJ amongst others. Rebecca is also hugely respected as a Muay Thai coach. I cannot recommend them enough

I’ve had the pleasure of being Mike and Rebecca’s student at two gyms. I love the experience and enthusiasm they bring to their classes. I absolutely received top tier instruction. I can’t wait to visit in Calgary and see the new gym!

Mike and Rebecca are each outstanding athletes, instructors and people. They put 100% effort into their own development and inspire others to do the same. Training with them means you are part of their family and that will last a lifetime.

Really good at explaining and teaching

Professor Mike and Rebecca have Helped my daughter and I so much with our self defense and sport Jiu jitsu. There's so many details I wasn't aware of until going to their classes! Keep up the amazing work! John and Aya

Mike and Rebecca are really wonderful technical teachers! I wish I could have made more evening classes when they were teaching!

Great classes. Excellent knowledge, fun intensity, friendly, motivating, and approachable.

Rebecca and Mike are amazing instructors. Both have lots of experience and very knowledgeable. I have trained with both of them and I plan to go to Calgary to train with them! This will be a very good and safe place to train!

Mike and Becca are fantastic coaches! Their passion and expertise is evident in every class. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on self defence and real world application of techniques and principles.

Was a privilege to learn BJJ from Mike and Rebecca for the last couple years. They have incredible knowledge and the ability to teach it exceptionally well at all levels. Highly recommended.

Mike is a great teacher. Many years ago, my six year old son was very shy and the training he received from Mike helped to grow his confidence. He trained with him until we moved to a different city four years later. I would highly recommend him and his school.

Mike & Rebecca are exceptional martial arts instructors. Their practical coaching style and mentorship have made a significant positive impact on my life, both on & off the mats. I would highly recommend Gracie Jui-Jitsu Calgary to anyone looking to level up on their martial arts journey!

Mike and Rebecca are phenomenal teachers/coaches/instructors. Their knowledge and dedication of the sport sets them at the top. If you’re serious about learning MMA professionally, for fitness or just for the fun of it I highly recommend signing up. You will NOT be disappointed 👊

I have known Mike Sweeney since the 1980’s. Not many instructors I have come across over the years have his skill and teaching ability, anyone who trains with Mike and Rebecca are fortunate indeed! Bob carver

Mike and Rebecca are very good and detailed instructors. They have been an absolute wealth of knowledge and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Mike and Rebecca are two of the best coaches in western Canada. I highly recommend Gracie jujitsu Calgary for people of all ages and skill levels.

I've known Mike and Rebecca since the 90's. They are incredible examples of what it means to be a true martial artist. They are genuine, humble, and want to share their passion with others to help them earn their 1% better each day. They are gifted teachers, and anyone that decides to train with them will be better for it.

Mike and Rebecca have offered some of the most technical classes I have ever participated in. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable but easily help you understand the mechanics of why things work the way they do and why it is so important to implement these principles.

Mike and Rebecca teach jiujitsu in a functional practical way. You are destined to be great training at this club. Friendly vibe, focus on fundamentals and the most fun you've had with exercise.

Mike and Rebecca might be new to Calgary but they are pioneers in the Canadian Jiu-Jitsu community. I got to know them while they were in Vernon and can say with confidence that the instruction and attention you will get from them will be second to none.

Mike and Rebecca have a diverse variety of martial arts skills and a great coaching style. It was a privilege to train jiujitsu and kickboxing under them and i hope to do so again in the future.

Mike and Rebecca are excellent instructors. They are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

I’ve trained With Mike & Rebecca Sweeney at Martial Arts Planet in Kingston Ontario. I never thought I’d achieve my Mauy Thai certification but with the push and support by Mike & Rebecca I did. It’s been my favorite achievement ever. They are second to none

Mike and Rebecca have a wealth of knowledge and experience between the two of them. Their school is a great option in Calgary

Mike and Rebecca taught at my school in Vernon until recently 5 stars all the way. They will be missed. Calgary is lucky to have them.
