SBG ARTICLES AND NEWS
OUR latest to keep your mind fit
No Quit: Why Commitment is the Ultimate Martial Arts Skill (On and Off the Mat)
Commitment is the real secret sauce behind every success story at SBG Bend. Show up when it’s hard and you’ll forge the habits that unlock everything else—effective self-defense, lasting weight-loss, unshakeable confidence, bully-proof kids, real leadership. Quit early and you train the opposite. This article breaks down why consistency outranks talent, how sticking with the grind builds grit and delayed gratification, and why the mat is the perfect laboratory for life-long resilience.
Fundamentals in BJJ: What They Really Mean (and Why They Matter at Every Level)
At SBG Bend, “fundamentals” aren’t beginner tricks—they’re the timeless pillars of balance, posture, frames, pressure, and connection that power every sweep, choke, and escape from white-belt day one to black-belt decade two. Master the essentials, and the fancy stuff takes care of itself—at every age, size, or rule-set.
