Matt Thornton
As SBG enters into its 25th year, we are closing in on more than 100 locations. We can be found on every continent on the planet (except Antarctica). We have some of the world’s biggest and best MMA champions. Our BJJ athletes can be found medaling, every weekend, all across the planet. Our coaches have helped to revolutionize law enforcement and military curriculums. And SBG as a whole has helped to lead a revolution in the Martial Arts. What Bruce Lee talked about when he spoke of Jeet Kune Do, is what SBG became – science based, focused on truth, where the individual, not the established style or system, reigns supreme. And while all of us who are part of SBG are proud of all of that, it sits a distant second to the thing that matters most within this organization – its people.
From leaving Jeet Kune Do, to being one of the first MMA gyms, coaching Randy Couture and spreading the SBG organization across the whole globe including places such as Korea, Africa and Australia - this is the story of Straight Blast Gym International and how it came to be, told by its founder Matt Thornton

Why do women learn technical jiu-jitsu faster and better than men?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is designed to allow someone smaller and weaker to never be defeated. Rickson Gracie''s father weighed only 130 pounds and developed BJJ to be the perfect weapon against bullies.
