If you’ve been searching for 9Round Kickboxing in Bozeman, Montana, you may already have discovered that the former Bozeman location is no longer operating.

If what you liked about 9Round was the idea of getting fitter through punches, kicks and high-energy striking workouts, there is another option coming to Bozeman.

SBG Bozeman is launching a new kickboxing programme on 15th September 2026.

But there is an important difference.

At SBG, the goal isn’t simply to give you a kickboxing-themed workout.

We want you to get fit and learn a skill.

9Round became popular because it made striking-based exercise accessible.

Its model combined punches, kicks, bags and conditioning into short workouts built around a nine-station circuit.

For plenty of people, that is more enjoyable than running on a treadmill or repeating another conventional gym workout.

And we think there is a lot to like about that idea.

We just take it one step further.

At SBG Bozeman, your workout also teaches you how to actually kickbox.

Instead of learning combinations primarily as a way of burning calories, you gradually learn:

How to punch correctly
How to kick with balance and control
How to move around another person
How to defend yourself
How to manage distance
How to recognise openings
How to put techniques together
And eventually, how to make those techniques work against someone who is moving and reacting

You still get the fitness.

You simply don’t have to choose between getting fit and getting good at something.

Perfect.

You don’t need to want to be a fighter to learn real kickboxing.

In fact, most people who train martial arts aren’t interested in competing.

They want to:

Lose weight
Improve cardiovascular fitness
Feel stronger
Develop confidence
Reduce stress
Learn something interesting
Meet good people
Have an activity they genuinely look forward to doing

That’s exactly the kind of person we want in the SBG Bozeman kickboxing programme.

Learning legitimate technique doesn’t mean someone has to hit you in the face on your first day.

Training can be introduced progressively.

A beginner can start by learning movement, balance and technique through pads and carefully designed partner exercises before gradually encountering greater movement and resistance as their confidence develops.

The goal isn’t to prove how tough you are.

The goal is to make you better.

There are often two extremes in the kickboxing world.

At one end is fitness kickboxing.

You punch bags, follow combinations, work hard and burn calories.

It can be a fantastic workout.

But the bag doesn’t move.

It doesn’t defend itself.

It doesn’t change distance.

And it doesn’t punch back.

At the other extreme is the traditional fight gym where beginners can sometimes feel as though they’re expected to prove themselves from day one.

That’s not particularly intelligent either.

SBG Bozeman is aiming for the space between the two.

Real coaching. Real technique. Intelligent progression.

You can have a challenging workout without turning every class into a fight.

And you can learn genuine kickboxing without needing any ambition to step into a ring.

There is another advantage that isn’t immediately obvious.

Fitness is temporary.

Skill accumulates.

Do a hard workout today and the cardiovascular benefit gradually disappears unless you keep exercising.

But learn how to throw a technically sound jab, move your feet properly or recognise an opponent’s reaction and you’ve acquired something.

Tomorrow you can build on it.

Then build on it again.

After six months, you’re not simply fitter than you were.

You can do things you couldn’t do before.

That’s one of the reasons martial arts can become such a sustainable form of exercise.

There is always another problem to solve.

SBG Bozeman’s striking programme is being built for ordinary adults, women and men, who want legitimate coaching in a friendly environment.

You can expect training to develop:

Learn effective mechanics for jabs, crosses, hooks and combinations rather than simply throwing your hands as fast as possible.

Develop balance, power and technique while understanding when and why different kicks work.

Learn how to move around another human being while maintaining balance and positioning.

Understand how to avoid, block and respond to strikes.

Learn the aspects of striking that are impossible to develop entirely by hitting an inanimate object.

Expect to work hard.

Kickboxing naturally develops cardiovascular fitness, coordination, speed, strength and endurance.

The difference is that your fitness work simultaneously develops a skill.

Absolutely.

You don’t need:

Previous kickboxing experience
Martial arts experience
Exceptional fitness
Flexibility
Any desire to compete

You just need to be willing to learn.

Training starts with manageable problems and becomes progressively more challenging as you improve.

Nobody needs to be thrown into the deep end.

We’d particularly like women searching for kickboxing classes in Bozeman to come and try the programme.

You shouldn’t have to choose between a choreographed fitness class and an intimidating fight gym.

There is a third option.

You can train hard, learn legitimate striking, become fitter and more capable, and do it in an environment where intelligent coaching matters more than ego.

The former 9Round Bozeman location appears to have closed. If you’re looking for kickboxing training in Bozeman, SBG Bozeman is launching its new striking programme in September 2026.

No. SBG Bozeman and 9Round are separate organisations. This page is intended to help people who previously trained at, or are searching for, 9Round Bozeman find an alternative local kickboxing programme.

There are similarities. You’ll punch, kick, improve your fitness and get a demanding workout.

The biggest difference is that SBG’s programme is designed around learning functional kickboxing skills and gradually applying them against movement and resistance rather than following a fixed circuit workout.

No. Beginners are welcome.

You don’t need to arrive ready to spar. Contact and resistance can be introduced progressively as your skill and confidence develop.

Absolutely. You don’t need any intention of competing. The difference is that while getting fitter you’ll also be learning legitimate kickboxing technique.

SBG Bozeman is at 2320 West Main Street, Unit 5, Bozeman, Montana 59718.

The planned launch is on 15th September 2026. Join the priority list to receive the confirmed timetable and information about introductory sessions.
