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

At SBG Cork, we practice K1 Kickboxing, which combines traditional boxing movement with knees and elbows of Muay Thai in a blend that’s very applicable to MMA. This is a great stress busting workout where you can take out your pent up frustration on the pads and bags.

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.
