Increased confidence, self-control and self-esteem are just a few of the character traits you will see in your child as a member of SBG Niagara.
We know there are many paths to success, which is why our Coaches work with the needs of your individual child.
Your child will experience a proactive training environment through 'alive training'. Through this practice, your child will develop interpersonal skills, and skills such as timing, coordination and agility.

"Growing Gorillas" - It's way fun! And way cool!

The "Growing Gorillas" model is the best method for students to develop their skills and is infinitely more fun than the traditional static training methods
used in most martial arts schools, and the kids absolutely love our play focused system.
