🔥Did you know…🔥

Behind every class, every roll, and every belt earned, there’s a story.

Our SBG Sparks blog is where those stories live.

It’s where our coaches pour into the community and where we continue learning off the mats.

This is what makes our tribe different. đź’™

This mom & daughter duo put in the work and it SHOWED! 🦍💪🏻

After completing all 16 Foundations classes with consistency, discipline, and a whole lot of mat time, they stepped up to the challenge of their 3 five-minute coaches rolls. Going round after round with Coach Ray, Coach Jason, and Coach Breau, they didn’t just show up… they rose to the occasion and earned every bit of it!

Congratulations Amber and Kennadie!
Your journey is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see you level up in CAP classes and continue becoming more dangerous on the mats!

https://sbgsparks.com/2026/06/15/reclaiming-space-my-journey-into-jiu-jitsu-as-a-woman/ As a coach, I’ve spent more than two decades watching people transform through Jiu Jitsu. I’ve seen shy people become confident, anxious people become calm, and individuals who doubted themselves discover strengths they never knew they possessed.

When Shannon first started her Jiu Jitsu journey, I saw many of the same doubts that I have seen in countless beginners over the years. Like many women, she questioned whether she was strong enough, tough enough, or capable enough to belong on the mats.

Jiu Jitsu didn’t change who Shannon is, it revealed who she has always been. Through every class, every challenge, every difficult round, and every small victory, she developed a deeper sense of confidence, resilience, and self-belief. I’ve seen her become more comfortable taking up space, trusting her instincts, setting boundaries, and embracing her own strength.

What follows is Shannon’s story in her own words. An honest reflection of what many women experience when they first step onto the mats and the lessons that can be learned through the process. The hope is that if you’re a woman who has ever wondered whether Jiu Jitsu is for you, you’ll see a piece of yourself in her journey and realize that you don’t need to become someone else to start, you simply need to take the first step.

🦍SBG Sparks Expansion Day 🦍

Last Saturday, after the training ended, the real work began.

What started as another day on the mats quickly turned into a day of sweat, sawdust, teamwork, and progress as the SBG Sparks tribe came together to expand our home.

With the leadership of Head Coach Ray and the hard work of Coaches Cory, Olga, Josh, Jason, Travis, Shannon, and Jose along with Ben, walls came down and the mat space in the main gym grew. It was a long Saturday filled with heavy lifting, problem solving, and plenty of hard work, but by the end of the day the mission was accomplished.

The new space isn’t just about having more room. It’s about creating more opportunities for our current members, welcoming future teammates, and continuing to build something special here at SBG Sparks.

Jiu Jitsu teaches us that progress comes through consistent effort. Saturday was a perfect example of that lesson. No spotlight. No medals. Just a group of people willing to sacrifice their weekend to make the tribe stronger.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, picked up a tool, moved mats, tore down walls, and helped make this vision a reality.

One Tribe. One Vibe. One Team.

Welcome to the next chapter of SBG Sparks.
