My fiancé and i were staying in Illinois our way to Iowa. We planned our trip to stop at SBG Illinois. We aren’t SBG... members but attended Spring Camp 2019 in Georgia and we loved the the Tribe & Vibe and the instructors with SBG. So now our vacations and travel plans center around trying to hit an SBG on our trips (got SBG Ireland in the plans for 2020). SBG Illinois did not disappoint! Thanks to our instructor Lou this morning who packed in a lot of knowledge and emphasized all the details! Great gym overall and great mat space! Thanks for letting us drop in!read more

Deciding to join SBG Illinois was easily one of the best decisions of my life. Coach Paul Sharp is a top tier coach who... teaches not only sport but functional/self defense BJJ along with striking and judo mixed in as well. This, along with the amazing facility at the Endorphin Effect, has really taken my training to the next level. I cannot recommend this facility enough.read more

Paul Sharp, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 1st degree black belt, coached arguably the best session at SBG Camp in Athens... Georgia. He showed some self defence details around using simple every day items many of us take for granted like a belt that can be used in conflict situations where defending against an armed assailant with a knife and you are unable to run. He also taught two very efficient takedowns that could be used against anyone. I highly recommend training with Paul if you get the chance!read more
