A safe space for open communication
Since 2018, my daughter Elizabeth and I have bonded over Jiu Jitsu at SBG. It's more than a hobby; it's strengthened our relationship, providing a safe space for open communication and mutual growth.
It changed the overall view of myself
Training BJJ at SBG has boosted my confidence and reshaped my self-perception as a woman. The supportive environment fosters a sense of safety and community, particularly within the ladies' BJJ group.
Quality of the programming and attention to detail
Two months with Amanda enhanced my BJJ with quality, detailed programming. Her expertise shines through, and I eagerly anticipate each month's plan.
Tremendous program for my prenatal journey
Amanda's tailored prenatal program kept me strong and mobile during pregnancy. Her personalized approach ensures specific needs are met. With her guidance, I'm confident about returning to the mats swiftly post-pregnancy.
This program is phenomenal
At 44, with decades in martial arts, my focus is on recovery, injury prevention, and longevity. Amanda's program is phenomenal, keeping me on par with younger practitioners.

Have Questions About Muay Thai Kickboxing Classes at SBG?
Here are some frequently asked questions. If you still have questions about the program, please click the button below to contact one of our coaches.
Contact usDo I need any experience to start?
Absolutely not. The vast majority of the new students that enroll at Straight Blast Gym don’t have any prior experience in martial arts For our Muay Thai program, we have Foundations classes set up so that you can learn your new art alongside other new students, while training at a more moderate pace. Our Foundations program gives you the opportunity to learn the fundamental, and most important, aspects of Muay Thai alongside other beginners and in a very controlled environment. We want to set up every new student for success, and this means we will NOT just throw you into a class full of experienced athletes where you’re forced to sink or swim.
Do I have to fight or compete to participate in the martial arts programs?
That would be a big NO. Roughly 5% of our students actively compete in martial arts competitions. You are much more likely to find a 35 year old father of three, who wants to lose 20 pounds and have fun while training, than you are an 18 year old who wants to be the next Ultimate Fighter. At SBG, you will never be expected or pressured to compete in martial arts.
But what if I do want to compete in Muay Thai? Do you have programs for that?
Oh yes. Make no mistake, we are a legit martial arts gym and we produce legit martial artists. SBG Buford has had plenty of athletes (both men and women) compete in Muay Thai/Kickboxing, and you’ll have ample opportunities to do so if that interests you. Not only will we help you prepare for your competition, but we’ll walk you through the entire process of how to register, make weight, etc. The state of Georgia has a vast amateur-fight program set up for those who want to compete but have little to no experience.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Every member of Straight Blast Gym is on an active membership agreement, but the length of your agreement is entirely up to you. We offer membership agreements that range from multiple-years, to month-to-month. As long as you’re excited about training with us and ready to make some awesome changes in your life, we can craft your membership agreement to suit your individual needs.
