Fun not FearIt’s a healthier way to train. We provide an environment where healthy competition is encouraged and the participants gain confidence in the self-defense skills they’ve earned -- as well as their improved fitness level. And, most importantly, the training is enjoyable. After all, if it weren’t fun, the members wouldn’t be coming back week after week... The skills are directly applicable to street self-defense situations. We emphasize awareness of the immediate environment, conflict recognition and de-escalation. Fighting, as it should be, is a last resort. Since members know that their skills are functional - they make them work against resistance, every practice - they can focus on the more important aspects of training: enjoyment and personal growth.

the principle of Aliveness, please check: Straight Blast Gym InternationalModCom is a Straight Blast Gym and part of Straight Blast Gym International. We owe much of our inspiration and direction to the hard work of the SBGi. They’re a great bunch of people. That’s exactly what the SBGi is, people. People with common training goals helping each other to grow… “The SBGi (Straight Blast
Gym International) is a group of individuals dedicated to, and held
together by their common belief in training ALIVE.
The SBGi is not any one particular Gym. It is not a group of buildings.
It is not a club, or social Organization. The SBGi is people. It
is made up of some of the most talented, intelligent, inspired,
honest, and functional Martial Arts Coaches you will ever, or could
ever meet.__Although the SBGi does place a large emphasis on the
beautiful, practical, and gentle Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and
most of the top Coaches for the SBGi hold Black or Brown belts in
this magnificent Art; the SBGi is not just a BJJ school.__Although
the SBGi does place a large emphasis on the grandfather of all stand
up fighting Arts - Boxing, and most of the SBGi Coaches have a strong
background in Boxing, Muay Thai, Savate, and other boxing based
Arts; (including former golden gloves boxers, pro boxers, as well
as Muay Thai Coaches and fighters who have competed in places like
Thailand and Japan) the SBGi is not just a Boxing, or Kickboxing
Gym.__Although the SBGi does place a large emphasis on the much
neglected Art of fighting in the clinch, including strikes (elbows,
knees, hands, headbutts, etc), takedowns and throws (as drawn from
Greco Roman wrestling, freestyle, and BJJ), and positional domination
(as drawn from Greco Roman, and Muay Thai), the SBGi is not a wrestling
Gym, or MMA "fight club". The SBGi is about people, and our goal is to offer the cutting edge in self-defense, combat athletics, fitness, and personal growth, to every type of human body that walks through our door. Not just 22 Year old Athletes (although they will certainly find their niche here as well), but to professionals who have to work 45 hour weeks. To women of all ages. To older people, looking to get into shape, have fun, and learn self-defense. To children of all ages who can learn the Arts in a positive atmosphere of friendship and fun.” For more information about SBGI check: www.straightblastgym.com The Locations and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association sections give a good idea of what SBGI is all about.
