SBG Athens

SBG Athens on Collins Industrial Boulevard has been training martial artists in Athens, GA for over 23 years, making it one of the longest running combat sports gyms in the area. Brothers Adam and Rory Singer own and operate the gym, which offers Brazilian jiu jitsu, mixed martial arts, group fitness through the TFW system, and dedicated kids programs split by age: Micro Monkeys (3 to 4), Spider Monkeys (5 to 6), Chimpanzee (7 to 9), and Juniors (10 to 14). The gym's "Girls in Gis" women's only BJJ program has earned particular recognition for fostering inclusivity in a traditionally male dominated sport. A notable piece of history: former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin trained at SBG Athens, connecting the gym to the highest levels of professional fighting. With a 4.8 star rating across more than 123 reviews, the culture centers on respect, support, personal responsibility, health, and positivity. The facility provides enough space for full MMA training, and the coaching balances competitive development with personal growth for students at every level. For Athens residents interested in martial arts, self defense, or combat sports fitness, SBG Athens brings 23 years of experience and a legacy that includes a UFC champion.
