Straight Blast Gym of Bend

Specialty Athletic Training a year ago

We were visiting Bend on vacation, and my 5-year-old grey belt had an upcoming tournament, so he wanted to get some rolling in while we were here. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming! The coaches were patient, encouraging, and created a fun, structured environment for the kids. He had a great time training, getting some solid rolls in, and learning new skills. It’s clear this gym values both technique and community. If we lived in Bend, this would definitely be our go-to spot for jiu-jitsu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly and high-quality training experience!

We normally train at the Straight Blast Gym in Portland but decided to get some rolls in while on vacation in the area. What an amazing gym with very welcoming and knowledgeable instructors. We will definitely be back and wished we lived closer, I hope all that do decide to check it out!

SBG Bend is not only a beautiful gym but the place and the people have heart. If you’re looking for a community in Bend that makes it really easy to love yourself, others and most importantly the art of jiu jitsu, this is the gym for you. And guys, there’s a sauna, come on!

This is the place in Bend where I feel like I'm the best version of me. I've been going to SBG for about 10 months now. Having no martial arts experience, I remember feeling terrified sending a text to Coach Brian asking to check out the space and then I was even more scared to walk through the doors. But as soon I walked in, I was greeted with so much warmth by Coach Brian, Coach Natalie and Coach Courtney. The community I've found in the women's grappling class and the fitness class is incredible. Coach Courtney and Coach Natalie balance laughter, joy, and silliness with serious learning and the practical knowledge needed to defend ourselves in bad situations. I love learning alongside a great crew of brilliant, strong, and hilarious women. I have never felt healthier both physically and mentally. If you're thinking of sending that first text, do it! You just might find your people :)

We were looking for the right place to get our daughter and son involved in Jujitsu (ages 5 and 6) that was based on merit and skill. This place is everything we were looking for and more! My husband started taking striking class and morning classes before work and talked me into taking the women’s class in the evenings. We’re hooked. Great instructors, great vibe and we’re always looking forward for next class. Highly recommend
