MMA in DIT

The Volt

Is there currently or would there be anyone interested in starting an MMA club? Attended one session in Spartan in Tallaght at the start of the summer then got a job so I couldn't continue. Would love to have the convenience of a club in DIT.

Anyone else interested?

MikeyCyrus

used to do boxing so i suppose i'd be interested

The Volt

I used to do Karate for a while myself so I'd be pretty much a beginner with the whole UFC thing re submissions but would love to see this kind of club get going

MikeyCyrus

same, never done it before really..

I'd be interested in setting up an MMA class here at DIT. I'm currently finishing off a Masters but have been training BJJ / MMA at Team Ryano (based in Baldoyle) for the past 4 years. If there are enough of you interested, I'll go talk to the DIT Sports people this week and try and get something sorted out.

Cheers
Peter

MikeyCyrus

The Volt

Maybe if it gets the go ahead we could meet up before the start of the lectures?

Hi Lads,

Good to hear there is interest in this. I will go down this week and find out more about setting up the club. Ideally I'd like to do two / three classes a week so we can get everyone up and going.

I'll give you a shout when I've got more details.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Guys,

It's great to see so much interest. Still trying to get in touch with someone from the sports department. They aren't answering their phones today!

Hopefully, I'm in the same boat as you.

As this would be the first year, the class would be geared towards beginners.
