We are taking beginners again at Point Blank Gym, and already have a good few sign ups after Tribal Warfare a couple weeks back and they are still coming along. The Introductory Course is one of the best ways of getting started in Martial Arts whether your interest is competitive, fitness, weight loss or for fun. Here are a couple things you might not know about training in Mixed Martial Arts - 

• anyone can do it!
• you never have to fight
• the techniques work for everybody, regardless of shape or size
• you don't need to be fit to start.
• you will never get punched or kicked in any of our classes

So don't be put off by seeing all those Ultimate Fighters on TV, they are only representing a tiny fraction of a per cent of the people that do MMA, most of us just want to lose a few pounds, learn to defend ourselves or find another pass time! Only about 2% of the people training at Point Blank ever get into a cage or enter a competition of any kind, the option is there if that kind of thing interests you, but you can gain all the benefits of our programs without ever taking a match.
At Point Blank Gym - anyone can train like an Ultimate Fighter!

After the successful inauguration of the Tribal Warfare Shield event between Point Blank and Kilkenny at the last show, Tribal Warfare 4 will feature another Shield event this time at amateur level between Pankration Academy Limerick and Point Blank Galway
The shield consists of three fights with the team holding the most wins out of the three taking the shield back to their home gym.

This year Point Blank Gym will be throwing their Gis in the ring with the other SBG Training Groups and SBG to try and get a step higher on the coveted BJJ ladder. Matt Thornton, president of SBGi , and John Kavanagh's coach is one of the best instructors I have had the pleasure of training with.
