    yes you can turn up and leave as suits :)

    yes there is showers

    yes i've a load of lastminute.com jobs to do for the 5pm opening...:eek:

    Any info on the pricing structure, monthly, weekly?, per class etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    That's all been finalized but unlike sbg longmile there will be a pay per class option

    Don't forget first week opening is completely free so come down and try it out :)

    i would also like to know this. is it the same as longmile or is it different? when you say offers for students is that on pay as you go or monthly?? great to see sbg expanding and really great coaches available here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    Over 20 people on the mat for our first ever class :)

    Pricing will be all finalized this week....just get down and train as much as u can this week as training is free!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 715 ✭✭✭HellsAngel


    Had a quick look this evening. Weird I thought, John Kavanagh is training in Brendan O'Toole's old TKD venue at Exchequer St while Brendan is now training at John's old BJJ venue in Harold's Cross......Anyway, excellent facility, JK and SBG go from strength to strenth.


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭thelibertyboy


    was wondering wat the craic was with the pay as you go student prices ?:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    over 50 people showed up for day 1 :D

    looking forward to seeing more tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 963 ✭✭✭Richy06


    Great to hear! Sickened I'm working today and tomorrow :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭Be like Nutella


    Did the lunch time BJJ class today... great set up... Good mat and thick padded Walls for clinch and wrestling ... Loadsa room... Found out how unfit I was quick enough....Didn't matter tho... good craic

    Feeling it today. Deadly craic. Definitely an impressive set up down there and with the added location it's bound to do well.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    Any idea if/when you'd be adding wrestling classes? I don't mean an exact date or anything now, just a general timescale?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    not sure...
    but we are adding judo next week :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf

    15 minutes easy stroll.. Or run and get there warmed up!.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Bagels90

    more like 30 minute walk in my opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    There is actually Open Mat on
    Mon-fri 12-9pm
    Sat 12-2pm
    anytime there is not classes scheduled

    So members can drop in anytime for a roll or hits pads etc


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭thelibertyboy


    i must say its a nice setup but tbh 12 for a class dont think you will get many students paying that like if i had the money but im a poor student :(

    You must not be getting taught punctuation!

    Is there any price for Longmile members going in at Open mat times? Or is it the 7/5 euro?


  • Registered Users Posts: 83 ✭✭tysonslovechild


    I hope the new place works out, good to have it right in the heart of the city. 15/12 euro per class is a bit higher than i would of tought but with high rents in and around the city centre its not surprising. Im sure its all well worth it though. good luck with it


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,917 ✭✭✭Barry.Oglesby


    €15 is about standard for a "drop in" rate anywhere in Ireland. Remember when you drop in you're taking up a regular member's mat space.

    It looks great from the photos. best of luck with it John and SBG.


  • Registered Users Posts: 695 ✭✭✭Liam_B


    New Place looks Great! will drop in next time I'm in Dublin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭tommyl2010

    have to disagree there, id only be up in dublin once a week at most and only really have time to do one, max 2 sessions per week so dont bother fully joining a gym because i never know where i will be. So to be able to pay €12/€15 to trainw ith some of the best guys in the country at my own convienence, no brainer really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭Jason McCabe


    People love complaining about prices but I was looking at Gokor's site yesterday and he charges 300 dollars a month for his unlimited

    thank you very much for all the well wishes!


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 shinobi academy


    The place looks great, best of luck with it. 15 euro for a drop in is perfect when you take into consideration, location, bill and the best coaches around. You get what you pay for!

    Will give the 'striking' a go tomorrow night!

    What exactly is it? Kickboxing, Muay Thai or a mix?

    i'm not sure how you read that into what i said? apologies if it came across that way, was not my intention.
    i was just pointing out we're not so much into labels in training. just if they work or not. i dont like the 'brazilian' in BJJ, just jiu jitsu would do imo. and in fact i dont even like 'jiu jitsu' anymore, would prefer to call what we do just 'grappling' as our techniques are influenced from wrestling, judo etc etc.

    if someone was looking to join my gym and was very specific in wanting to learn 'thaiboxing' then i would recommend they join a 'thaiboxing' gym as we are not one. if they just want to learn 'stand-up' fighting then i believe we can help them with that as it relates to MMA. SBG fighters/coaches like owen roddy, conor mcgregor, keith coady, myles price etc have some of the best striking in irish mma.....in my opinion of course....although looking at their performances i think most would agree.

    I could almost take the first line of your post and repost it here :D

    It wasn't a dig or snide comment in any way - just a 'funny in my head' moment (you get the dodgeball reference in it I hope!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭SBG Ireland


    (you get the dodgeball reference in it I hope!)

    i actually didnt...:o although in my defence i have man-flu and am on quite the concoction of painkillers right now :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭Be like Nutella


    I see Judo has been added... awesome... Would love to try it... Are we talkin with the costume : ) or Karo style mma judo ? Can it be taught (or learned) without the gi or does it make a difference?
