SBG Bury Jiu Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts

Glyn is very welcoming and creates a friendly environment to which each student can feel safe and know that they are in good hands. With great attention to detail structured throughout each of his sessions, its a certain fact that everyone walks away with more knowledge that they came in with. Personally, I highly recommend attending SBG Bury under coach Glyn Powditch or any of his designated head coaches as you will have fun and learn a lot! I've trained for 10+ years and he is undeniably one of the top coaches in the UK.

Glyn is a fantastic coach, with many years of experience, which is very evident with the way he is able to communicate concepts to all levels , from white to black belt. The other coaches are great as well, and there is a very welcoming and friendly environment. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to fight, or defend themselves , or even just to get in shape.

Recently joined and was really nervous.I’m not athletic by any stretch of the imagination.

What I found was an awesome set of people. From Glyn the coach to every student , all have been and continue to be really supportive. So if you are thinking about it and have some trepidation, my only advise would be to just walk through the doors. You will not regret it.

I was super impressed by Glyn’s ability to articulate his teachings in a clear and concise manner, which is a testament in itself to his knowledge and dedication of the craft. BJJ moves can be quite complex initially for anyone’s brain to navigate - so this was super beneficial. Glyn and the rest of SBG Bury were also super welcoming (especially Zeeshan) and I can’t wait to return in the near future!

Started training at SBG Bury one month ago as a complete beginner, training mainly with Glyn, and every class has been brilliant. Glyn and the other coaches are highly knowledgeable and articulate techniques in a way that’s easy to understand. The classes are structured in a way that not only allows you to learn HOW to perform a technique, but also WHY it is done that way, which has massively helped me understand the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu.

The rest of the group are also very welcoming & friendly and happy to give advice to help you improve.

The club runs plenty of classes 7 days a week to fit around any busy schedule and there are also children’s classes which I definitely plan on bringing mine too in future!

I started training ju jitsu at the start of summer at SBG Bury. Glyn and all the coaches were so welcoming and everyone else training there is friendly. The quality of coaching is very high but also easy to understand. I could say so much good about this club but the most important thing I believe I can say is come down and give it a go. I’m sure you’ll soon see the physical and more importantly to me the mental benefits that I have received from training.

My ten year old son started BJJ in September, he absolutely loves it and has made massive progress in this time. Glyn is a fantastic coach, would recommend to anyone.

This is a great gym. There is a friendly atmosphere led by the coaches and continued by the regulars. The coach to person ratio is better than could be expected, with ample opportunity to ask any questions. I have been coached mainly by Glyn, and he is always eager to go the extra mile help you improve - something not always the case with coaches in general. A great place to learn and, of course, let off some steam!
