    My former coach at ISR-Matrix recommended this place to me when he found out I was living in Dublin, so I could keep my skills sharp. Good facilities, friendly and welcoming reception staff, superb coaches, and most importantly, a training culture that emphasises looking after your training partners. All of these have made my training experience safe and enjoyable so far. As a complete beginner in BJJ, I appreciate how the coaches break down techniques and encourage us to practise at a slower pace so I can get plenty of high-quality repetitions. And as SBG offers various types of classes for members, I believe they're going to benefit me in different ways. Looking forward to more training, and wishing SBG continued success! BTW, I still can't get over the fact that they have a stairlift connecting the training mats 🤣

    I visited SBG hoping to sneak in a few rolls during my vacation in Ireland. Getting to this gym was an easy 25 minute train ride from central Dublin. I was greeted at the front desk by Jordan, who graciously gave me a tour of their massive 2 floor facility, including letting me take pictures and bounce around a bit in their exact size replica of the UFC octagon and WBO boxing ring. They offered both beginner and advanced grappling classes for visitors. I opted for the advanced"Ultimate Athlete" BJJ no gi class. Before i could change for class, i realized I forgot to bring athletic shorts, and the gym shop didnt have my size shorts. Looking dejected and heading back to my hotel, who comes to my rescue, but UFC/Bellator Fighter Lee Hammond! He was able to find some shorts I could use and we spoke briefly about BJJ/MMA. It was cool as sh1t, and I'll remember that encounter for the rest of my life! The grappling class was excellent. I rolled with a mix of blues, purples, and browns (most of whom compete regularly) under the attentive and helpful coach Nerijus, who was helping everyone in the room understand the technique of the day, which was single to double leg to bodylock ouchi gari takedowns. The grappling was very intense. 6×6 minute rounds, starting from stand-up, wth some of the more elite students ripping pull-ups afterwards. After class, I showered in their massive/fancy change room, and picked up a t-shirt on the way out. A dream come true. Thank you SGB for having me. It meant the world to me to train where the Mac-King trained!

    I came to SBG last year and walked in just to see the gym where Conor trains. Being a huge fan I loved it. The staff were awesome and welcoming. They had a section of gear for purchase and an impressive set up for a MMA gym. I lived in Ireland for years and was very pleased to finally make it down here and see the gym in person.
