I met Glyn when he came to our gym to deliver a seminar; not only were we all blown away with the tech, but he spent... time working on our warm-ups and talking us through concepts and philosophies that have stuck with me. Since that time, Glyn has stayed in contact and has helped deliver online support to me personally, and through online webinars. He is generous and forthcoming and I would highly recommend his teaching.read more

You can tell a lot about a club by the way beginners are treated and the welcome you get at your first class. A good... club makes you feel part of the group immediately and not like an outsider looking in. This is exactly how I felt when I joined SBG Bury. Glyn and the other instructors made me feel like they were glad to have me there and that I was genuinely welcome at the club. This has been reinforced by the other members I have met since, who are all really friendly. I have had 3 different instructors already and each of them has been excellent. Their classes have been fun and interesting, whilst the atmosphere has been friendly and relaxed. As a result, I am really glad I joined and look forward to training with such a nice group of people. If you have ever been interested in trying BJJ, or just want to learn an effective martial art, I highly recommend coming down to a class. You will be glad you did!read more

Glyn is a fantastic coach, with many years of experience, which is very evident with the way he is able to communicate... concepts to all levels , from white to black belt. The other coaches are great as well, and there is a very welcoming and friendly environment. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to fight, or defend themselves , or even just to get in shape.read more

Made my son feel very at ease and comfortable, explained what to do very well and made it fun. Great class, the group... isn’t too big so everyone gets as much attention / guidance as they need. Very welcoming. Couldn’t ask for a better coach. Would very highly recommend 10/10read more

A great gym and full of friendly members who make you feel welcome from the start. Glyn Powditch has incredible... knowledge and this comes across in his classes where you’re taught everything you need to know whether it’s for BJJ as a sport or for self defence. I’d highly recommend SBG Bury.read more

I’ve trained with Glyn a number of times over the years whenever I’ve been within a commutable distance... of his gym. It’s worth travelling just to experience his teaching style. He’s a critical thinker and doesn’t adopt fads easily and in that way his style of jiu jitsu is a very effective one which is easy to absorb and execute. I’ve recently moved back to Manchester and with a number of gyms closer to me, I’d rather travel to train with Glyn. If I’ve left you in any doubt, just give it a try. If you’re new to the sport, you’re in luck, you will learn a pure version of BJJ. If you’re experienced, you won’t want to go anywhere else.read more

Honestly the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Around a month ago, I got in touch online with admin at the... Bury BJJ - SBG and within a day one evening (after a looong week at work) I was training with an array of individuals with mixed levels of experience. Everyone at the gym whether coaches or athletes have been incredibly welcoming to someone who hasn’t ever been involved in any form of martial arts ever before. I can see interest growing with every week and it’s truly a testament to the internationally recognised black belt lead coach, Glyn Powditch, his students/the coaches and the athletes. Thanks BURY BJJ - SBG 🙏🏾read more

Did not have the pleasure yet to train in this gym but have had the pleasure to train with coach Glyn Powditc for a day... in SBG HQ Dublin. To me this was a seminar that stood out with easy great learning and attention to detail under amazing guidance . With all training you learn great techniques which happened here but Glyn went into breathing techniques this was one of the biggest positives I have ever took from any class and has changed my experiences in every roll since . As a white belt we panic waste energy and don’t breath but now I stay calm ,breath and can roll for twice as long with twice the efficiency. I do not have the luck of having this gym with this incredible coach in commuting distance of my home but anyone who does should not think twice of getting involved with this gym. This type of training has helped me deal with weight loss , anxiety and depression and look forward to next opportunity I have to train under these coach’s or train with thier students. Could not recommend this place anymoreread more

I dropped in to this BJJ club as a visitor. Don't be put off by the fact that it's not immediately obvious from the... street - you're in the right place (surrounded by the rolling hills). Glyn and the group were extremely welcoming and they also have a women's only session which can be harder to find. The sessions were great and there's a supportive dialogue between Glyn and students; lots of great questions and answers. Though I was just dropping in, I felt immediately at home. Keep up the great work.read more

I am happy to say I feel like a long distance student to Glyn and the SBG Bury staff! I routinely have access to their... instruction through their Facebook group including some student filmed videos of technique and vital concepts. If I didn’t live in the states, I’d definitely be making my way to this gym. Join their Facebook group, ask questions and enjoy the fruit and conversation of people passionate about the art!read more

Glyn is very welcoming and creates a friendly environment to which each student can feel safe and know that they are in... good hands. With great attention to detail structured throughout each of his sessions, its a certain fact that everyone walks away with more knowledge that they came in with. Personally, I highly recommend attending SBG Bury under coach Glyn Powditch or any of his designated head coaches as you will have fun and learn a lot! I've trained for 10+ years and he is undeniably one of the top coaches in the UK.read more

I have not been to SBG Bury.... yet. However, I have nothing but great words to speak for Mr. Glyn Powditch. I met... him then first time at the SBG spring camp. He talked to us for about an hour after the camp had already finished. Excellent instructor, everything is clearly explained and immediately applicable. Please go see this gentlemen if you are in the area. I will be traveling from Ohio to do so soon. Keep up the good work sir.read more

Glyn is a true gentleman of the BJJ world with a passion and knowledge for coaching & personal development that you... will find hard to match anywhere in the world. My only advice is if you are in the area drop in for one session and it will change your life forever. You have to be somewhere in 10 years, why not be a blackbelt!

I've trained with Glyn for nearly 5 years now. At SBG Bury, you get the best SBG worldwide has to offer. In the heart... of Ramsbottom, you've got an instructor who regularly travels the world teaching seminars and discussing fundamentals with the best coaches out there. Glyn teaches "fundamentals" not "moves". If you're interested in BJJ or martial arts in general, beginner or seasoned vet alike, you'd be crazy not to stop by SBG Bury. The tribe up here are really good looking too.read more

I started training with Glyn about 9 months ago as a complete novice and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the classes... I've taken with him. Glyn focuses on teaching and applying the fundamental principles from the foundations up, and emphasises the efficient use of skills and technique over any physical attributes like size and strength. He has a great group of very helpful and welcoming students, which has made my journey to date all the more enjoyable and challenging. The fact that several of these students are willing to drive for long distances on a regular basis to attend his classes is also a good indicator of the value they receive from Glyn's training. Tom Bates' Wednesday night beginner's classes are also excellent - I only wish I could make it to more of them, but sometimes pesky family commitments get in the way 😉read more

I’m very new to BJJ and like many beginners who start rolling, it’s felt rather like being toyed with by... polite gorillas. Glyn’s approach is about teaching and linking the fundamental, underlying principles that make BJJ so effective. Even at this early stage, he’s really helped me start to grasp the thread that seems to run through BJJ - bio mechanical efficiency. Glyn is an excellent teacher and quite simply, you’ll get better through his classes whatever your belt.read more
