From the reviews
I could not recommend this gym enough. I started training MMA in Lynchburg, VA where I went to college. Coming home to Georgia for the summer typically meant training at home, but this past summer I was determined to find a good local gym.
I've been a member of SBG Buford for close to 3 years now. Great gym with a very safe and welcoming community. All of the coaches are amazing and really do care about your progression and investing in you as an individual.
The instructors are very fun, knowledgeable and get the most out everyone. Coach Alex is does a great job coaching the Muay Thai classes as well as the kickboxing classes. Since I’ve started I have learned so much and become much more disciplined in my fitness regimen.
Joining Straight Blast Gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I’ve been training jiu-jitsu here for almost six months now, and the experience has been awesome.
New to kickboxing? Start at SBG Atlanta - Buford
SBG Atlanta - Buford comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at SBG Atlanta - Buford
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
