Mixed Martial Arts & Submission Wrestling in South Dublin
>Tonight Kevin Croke destroyed his opponent at the Ring of Truth show in the National Stadium!
Kev warmed up with some pad work with his thai coach, Wayne, and some light clinch with me. Kev wanted to get in and work his Thai clinch and throw some knees. That was the game plan. But, should Tony [...]
For a while we’d planned expanding Spartan MMA and looking into getting our own place. Scoil Carmel has been good to us but it’s time we move on to bigger and better things. Although we weren’t planning to move so soon Zeus lit a fire under us (literally!) and forced us into action.
It turned out [...]
Tonight we headed over vast distances to reach Three Castles MMA. A stuffed up Dylan Costigan greeted us and we got to a thorough warm up.
After that Dylan introduced what we going to cover for the class – attacks following a sprawl. “Obviously most people want to take the back, but that’s not always an [...]

At the start of the training session, it looked like it could be nasty, as old Dublin rivalries flared up:
Luckily Barry managed to calm us all down and united everyone by [...]
Unfortunately for the Monkeys and Agoge there’s no training Monday and most likely Wednesday.
For the adults, we’re going on tour!

We’re looking for a new full time premises anyway, so if you know anyone with a very big garage, let us know.
In the meantime, [...]
I haven’t heard anything back from the school so training will be on tonight.
Dan and I were down on Monday and there wasn’t much activity, so by now it should be cleared up (at least for the hall anyway.)
See you tonight – Colm
There was a fire in Scoil Carmel last night.
Fortunately, no one was injured and the fire brigade stopped it before it gutted the building. However, due to works going on in the school today, there’ll be no training tonight for the Clever Little Monkeys, Agoge, or Spartans.
Sorry for the late notice but I only recently [...]
