Brian Moore by ref stoppage. Philip Mulpeter by first rd stoppage. Conor McGregor by big tko. Paddy Holohan drew (see below)

Great nite of wins for SBG!!!!!!!

by Tuatha De Danann on Sunday, 13 February 2011
"Just back from Chaos 8 in Derry - excellent venue and a great atmosphere. Kieran "Brock" Davern came through a tough first round during which he came close to an early finish with a couple of tight Guillotine attempts that were toughed out by his opponent. In the second, Brock managed to open up his opponent's right eye with strikes fom the bottom which led to him sinking in a tight triangle for the finish - the icing on the MMA cake. However, the cake left a bitter aftertaste when SBG's Paddy "The Hooligan" Holohan had to settle for a draw after a fine display of Jiu Jitsu and an obvious victory during which he had his opponent in various submission attempts for 11 of the 15 minutes of the bout. Disgraceful decision is an understatement. But all in all a great night of MMA."

MMA Seminars at Straight Blast Gym

2011-02-09T10:56:00.000-08:00

SBG was always the place to be for seminars from the top MMA guys around and 2011 is no different.

Last week saw Luke "the Killer" Corcoran doing a one day Judo for BJJ/MMA seminar which was a great success. Along with gripping tactics and tactical techniques he taught some essential judo takedowns used in BJJ and MMA on the Irish Circuit also the Koshi Garuma (head and arm throw) and o-soto-gari (outside sweep). Luke said that since competing in BJJ and MMA these techniques and their variations are the most common takedown attempts and if you dont learn them then you'll get caught by them!

Our next seminar is March 5 - Ricco Rodriguez for one day only.
Former UFC HW champ and BJJ Blackbelt Ricco with wins over Andrei
Arlovski, Jeff Monson, Randy Couture, Paul Buentello and Rob Broughton will be at SBG for 1 day seminar 'Grappling for MMA'

Fantastic opportunity to train with one of the greats of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

12.00 - 16.00 Sat 18th Sept 2010 - No gi seminar €50pp

Black Belt under 2-time world champion, Felipe Costa, Ryan Hall is one of the most successful American-born Jiu-Jitsu players to date. Since beginning his competitive career in July of 2004, Ryan has cemented himself as one of the most promising up-and-coming submission grapplers in the world, defeating some of the sport’s greatest champions along the wa...y (including UFC fighters and Black Belt World Champions, many of whom have been training decades longer than he has). Ryan is a CBJJ Mundial (world) and European champion who has also medaled at the Brazilian Nationals and twice been invited to compete at the ultra-prestigious Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling World Championship where he is one of only a handful of American competitors to have come home with a medal.

In addition to his competitive exploits, Ryan is an accomplished coach, highly sought after for expert seminars all over the world. When Ryan isn’t training for competitions or learning from world class athletes from around the United States and the globe, he can often be found instructing Jiu-Jitsu and Combatives workshops for the United States military, helping to prepare the soldiers for any unarmed situation they may face while in the field. Ryan’s students have competed successfully at the local, national, and international levels, rising rapidly through the ranks. He has also produced a series of instructional DVDs that have garnered wide acclaim and is the author of “How To Master The Triangle Choke,” the definitive resource for training information regarding this signature technique of Jiu-Jitsu.

Cage Contenders - July 24 2010

A word from our head coach John Kavanagh.....
now that the hard training is almost over i cant wait for this night now. This is by far the best training camp I've ever had leading up to a show. With 8 guys representing SBG and with 2 title fights this is going to be a great showcase for how we train. AFAIK this is going to be a sell out show....so 3000 people screaming on the night (+1000 sold at SBG alone!) with the best fight card on an Irish mma show this is going to be amazing!
Tickets can be purchased from the club

Aisling Daly added to Women’s Tournament

2010-06-24T16:00:00.000-07:00

Aisling Daly added to Women’s Tournament

CHICAGO, Ill. (June 22, 2010) - Aisling Daly, the best female mixed martial artist in Ireland and the world's No. 3-ranked 125 lbs. female fighter, is the latest addition to Bellator Fighting Championships' Season 3 Women's Tournament.
The 22-year-old Daly (whose first name is pronounced "ASH-ling") brings a pristine 9-0 record to the tournament, which will mark her MMA debut in the U.S. Her most recent win came against the previously undefeated Finnish knockout artist Maiju Kujala this past March.
Daly is the seventh announced participant in the tournament, each of whom is ranked among the world's 10 best in their respective weight classes. The others are Japanese MMA sensation Megumi Fujii - widely regarded as the No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world - 11-1 British tae-kwon-do black belt Rosi Sexton, 12-5 Seattle submission artist Lisa Ward, 7-0 Southern California striker Jessica Pene, 8-4 New Mexico-based submission specialist Angela Magana and 5-1 Las Vegas-based powerhouse Lynn Alvarez.
The tournament begins on Aug. 12 and will once again be televised LIVE in primetime every Thursday night on FOX Sports Net and during special weekend highlight shows on NBC, Telemundo and the cable network mun2.
"Bellator is the No.1 organization in the world form women's MMA right now so I jumped at the chance to sign," Daly said Tuesday. "They have all of the best female fighters in the world signed and I firmly believe that whoever wins the tournament is the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the world. That's my goal and that's what I'm coming to the U.S. to do ... nobody will remember who finishes second."
Daly got her start in combat sports at the age of 10 when she began training in karate. As a teenager, she picked up Brazilian jiu-jitsu and, later, boxing and wrestling. "When I put all of that together, I figured I'd give MMA a go," she said. As evidenced by her four career TKOs (three of them in the first round), Daly considers herself an aggressive fighter who looks to finish fights early. "When I go in there, I'm lookin' to make an impact. I'm lookin' to steamroll the person I'm fighting," she said. Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney said that trait should serve her well no matter which of the other top-ranked opponents she draws once the tournament begins in August. "Aisling's as tough as they come and she has all the tools necessary to be dangerous against anyone in this stacked women's tournament," he said.
