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 🤝

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.

Have Questions? We've got the answers right here!

Super simple! Just click Get Started anywhere on this page to book your free intro session where you’ll get to tour the gym & meet our coaches.

Each class begins with a short sport-specific warm up. Your coach will then teach a series of functional techniques that you’ll get to practice with your chosen drilling partner. There will be plenty of time to ask questions too. We often end the class with a few “mini game” scenarios, allowing you to put your new techniques to the test. This leads us to the end of class where we share high fives and fist bumps and say goodbye until the next training session.

At SBG Calgary, we pride ourselves on being safe and inclusive. We train hard and crush our goals while still maintaining a safe and supportive training atmosphere. We have experienced Male and Female Head Coaches, a beautiful facility, and the absolute best people who will be your training parters and teammates.

Not at all! In fact, many of our students get involved to improve their fitness level! Not only will you be learning a valuable new skill, you’ll be learning how to move your body and workout in a different way. All of this takes time but you’ll quickly see an improvement in your overall fitness, cardio, and problem solving after only your first month of training consistently.

The order of belt ranking in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is: White, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black.

Everyone starts as a white belt, no matter their age, physical condition, or previous martial arts experience. As your knowledge and ability increase from attending classes and putting your newly-acquired knowledge into practice, you’ll move through the belt ranks. Everyone will progress at their own pace and will be promoted accordingly. “All good things take time,” my momma said, and Jiu Jitsu is no exception.

It’s worth noting that, unlike many other martial arts schools, at SBG Calgary, we don’t charge you for belt promotions or testing, nor do we make you compete. We follow the IBJJF guidelines for Youth and Adult ranking.

Although we have a few students who can only train with us once per week, we feel 2 sessions per week is ideal for beginners. This will give you time to adjust your body and brain to Jiu Jitsu, and help you to make it a part of your day-to-day routine. If possible, we recommend leaving a day in between sessions to give yourself a chance to recover.

The key to success in Jiu Jitsu is consistency and mat time! Set a schedule and stick with it and you’ll be crushing your goals in no time.

Right away! I often tell people that they will learn potentially life-saving skills in every single class and that includes the class you attend on Day 1.

Rebecca Sweeney

Head Coach

Becca’s athletic journey began in childhood, marked by her incredibly strong work ethic. Introduced to the martial arts when her daughter started training, she initially gravitated toward kickboxing and Muay Thai. Soon after, however, she immersed herself in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA, ultimately turning her passion into a profession by teaching at the academy.

Driven to test her skills, Becca achieved a notable 4-1 record in amateur kickboxing and Muay Thai. In 2006, she made a significant leap into professional MMA. Becca holds the distinction of being the first woman to compete in King of the Cage Canada, boasting an impressive 2-0 professional record. Additionally, in 2009, just under 20 years ago, she earned the rank of Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, becoming only the second Canadian female to have done so at the time.

Experience:

Over 20 years of Martial Arts Experience

Michael Sweeney

Head Coach

Mike is a dedicated lifelong martial artist committed to sharing his passion and expertise with his students. Training since his early teens, he has extensive expertise in disciplines such as Shotokan Karate, Jun Fan Gung Fu, Filipino Martial Arts, Combat Submission Wrestling and Muay Thai Kickboxing, and brings a wealth of diverse knowledge to his instruction. In 2007, over a decade and a half, Mike achieved the prestigious rank of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belt from his Nova União teacher, Wagnney Fabiano.

Affiliated with Straight Blast Gym since 2003, Mike and his wife, Becca, owned and operated a successful martial arts school in Kingston, Ontario for over 23 years. In 2018, they returned from international travels with the goal of using their extensive experience to create the ultimate jiu-jitsu training facility. They initially settled in the Okanagan Valley and immediately began sharing their knowledge with the vibrant community at Pacific Top Team Vernon. Simultaneously, they began formulating a plan to create their new facility in Alberta.

With Mike’s wealth of experience, commitment to growth, and a warm, inclusive teaching approach, you can trust that you’re in the best hands when you train at Straight Blast Gym Calgary.
