Boxing

If that’s true, SBG has been the recipient of countless compliments from our competitors. When SBG started in Portland over 25 years ago, people were teaching Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, and other similar arts, but almost no one was teaching boxing, the grandfather of all functional striking arts, for self-defense.

Boxing and its cousins, kickboxing and muay Thai, are the most effective striking arts ever developed! Whether it’s for self-defense or competition, these arts are powerful, and they’ve been proven to work. Now, more than 25 years later, there is no shortage of places that ‘claim’ to teach these amazing arts.

Since 1992, SBG has had a long, world-renowned history of success. Our professional coaches have built up not just world champions but everyday people—people just like YOU.

People who wanted to learn how to box, kickbox, and use these arts for self-defense, fitness, and confidence. Most people don’t plan on being a “world-class competitor”. Most people just want to have fun, lose a few pounds, and learn practical self-defense.

Our classes are designed specifically to create an environment that allows anyone, regardless of”
