SBG Kalispell - Montana - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts - Gym

SBG Kalispell was founded as part of the SBG Montana family by Travis Davison, a 3rd degree black belt under Straight Blast Gym International founder Matt Thornton. Travis, who received every belt up to black directly from Thornton, opened the academy to bring world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts training to Kalispell and the Flathead Valley. The school draws on the larger SBG tradition, emphasizing practical training, skill development, and a curriculum refined through years of coaching and competition. The coaching staff at SBG Kalispell brings deep experience and a hands-on approach to every class. Travis Davison leads the team, joined by Kisa Davison, the founder and head coach of the Growing Gorillas Kids program and a BJJ brown belt under Matt Thornton, as well as Leah Taylor, a first degree black belt and multiple-time IBJJF World Champion. The coaches are known for their investment in each student’s progress, whether guiding young children through their first martial arts experience or preparing seasoned athletes for competition. The Growing Gorillas program, developed by Kisa and also run by Leah, is a cornerstone of the kids’ curriculum, with classes for children as young as three and progressing through teens. Training at SBG Kalispell covers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at all levels, alongside judo, boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and self-defense. The academy’s schedule includes early morning and evening classes, as well as age-specific kids’ groups: Micro Monkeys (3–4), Spider Monkeys (5–6), Chimpanzees (7–9), Juniors (10–12), and Teens (13–17). Adults benefit from fundamentals and advanced classes, with options for fitness and yoga as part of the overall program. SBG Kalispell maintains ties to the wider SBG network, giving local students access to a global community of coaches and practitioners.
