Welcome to SBG Cork
Home of Champions in Fighting and in Life
At SBG Cork, we are more than a gym – we are a tribe united by a commitment to personal, physical, and mental growth. Our experienced coaches offer alive martial arts training that is accessible to everyone, from beginners to seasoned fighters.
Classes at SBG Cork
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
BJJ is the mastery of submission grappling and learning to subdue an opponent with joint locks, chokes and pins. There are no strikes in BJJ, so no need to worry about being punched in the face and once you get started, it’s highly addictive and the most fun workout there is.
MMA
Combining the best of a range of martial arts styles, MMA is the Swiss army knife of fighting. From striking on the feet, wrestling in the open or against the wall and finally submission grappling on the ground.
Kickboxing
Wrestling
We study a fusion of freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling at SBG Cork. Using the fundamentals of human bio mechanics along with explosive athleticism, this style gives you a mastery of taking an opponent down and pinning them.
Strength & Conditioning
We have a range of S&C classes throughout the week to help our client to achieve their fitness and conditioning goals, as well as working on injury prevention and rehab.
Kids Martial Arts
Our Kids classes are divided into age brackets reflecting the maturity and developmental stages of our junior clients. Micro Monkeys are our pre-schoolers. Our primary school kids are our Growing Gorillas and our Silverback Teen Academy is for our moody teenagers at secondary school age.

Hannah Goff / MMA Camp Participant
Had the pleasure of training here at a female MMA camp. One of the friendliest and most welcoming gyms I have been too. The quality of the coaching is also superb. I would recommend this gym to anyone wanting train MMA or BJJ and would love to come back if I get the chance.

I did the Train Alta / WImp 2 Warrior program there in summer 2022. It was amazing! Liam Og is the primary instructor and he made it a fantastic experience while Marlene really took care of everything else.
