Straight Blast Gym Scarborough

🥊 The Power of the Team 🥊

"Just like when a fighter is training for a fight. It takes the whole gym family to get them ready." 💯

Behind every personal milestone is a dedicated team pushing you forward. While it takes individual hard work to succeed, having the right community makes all the difference.

We absolutely love getting feedback like this from our members, it reminds us exactly why we do what we do. 🥰

We don't just train, we grow together. 🦅✨

🌎 Two Legendary Teams. One Roof. 🌎

​In martial arts, lineage shapes your foundation. It’s the blueprint for how we train, evolve, and compete.

We are incredibly proud to stand as part of the worldwide Straight Blast Gym (SBG) organization under Matt Thornton, the founder of SBG and a 6th-degree BJJ black belt known globally for his functional, conceptual approach to the mats. 🧠🥋🦍

But our roots run deeper. We also hold a direct connection to the legendary Team Scorpion under Kru Paul Tudlong, a 3x Canadian National Muay Thai Team Coach and former WKA Pro K1 Champion. 🦂🥊💥

Here is what sets us apart: We are the only gym on the planet where these two powerhouse heritages come together. 🦍X🦂

When you step onto our mats, you aren't just joining a gym, you are training under a world-class standard backed by proven champions and innovators.

If you want to train with purpose, logic, and the best foundation in the game, this is where you belong.

Drop a 🦍 or 🦂 in the comments 👇 if you’re proud of the mats you train on.

✨ The standard starts from the ground up.

It’s one of the most frequent compliments we get from visitors: "Your gym is so clean."

In a close-contact sport, a pristine facility isn't a luxury - it’s a direct reflection of gym culture and athlete care. Every time we scrub the mats, it’s about respect, safety, and keeping you healthy so your training consistency stays on track.

We hold our environment to the exact same high standard as our coaching.

Come check out the space and see the standard for yourself. 🥋🥊🦍

🥋 Miss the team environment of high school sports?

​If you’re 35+ and looking to get back in shape, staring at a gym wall or running on a treadmill isn't the only option.

​Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) gives you that competitive drive back, builds functional fitness, and teaches you how to realistically defend yourself and the people you love.

​"But isn't Jiu-Jitsu just for 20-something competitors?"

​Not on our mats. We definitely have our young competitors, but our culture is built around everyone training together safely. Our classes are packed with parents, professionals, and adults who have to go to work the next morning. We focus on a safe, controlled environment where we look out for one another and solve problems together.

​You don’t need to be in shape to start—you start to get in shape.

Incredibly grateful for the mentors, pioneers, and friends who shaped my path and showed me what it means to lead with integrity. These photos show only a handful of those that have influenced my journey. Honoring the past by showing up for the next generation every single day. 🦍

​Thank you for setting the standard. 🥋🧠💪

Huge thanks to Marcus for the deep dive into the inside heel hook last night! 🔥

​Ready for round two with the outside heel hook session this Thursday at 7pm. 👠🪝

The journey is better together. 🤝

Swipe through to see what happens when you combine time, consistency, and an incredible community. Some of these faces started with us years ago, and watching their growth - not just as martial artists, but as lifelong friends - is hands-down the best part of what we do.

​To everyone who has trusted us with their journey and made this gym a second home: we appreciate your dedication more than words can say.

​Thank you for being the heartbeat of our community. Here’s to many more years on the mats!
