There is nothing in Athlone as far as I know, though feel free to correct me anyone who knows better.

One of my fighters Enda "The Conundrum" Fenton travels from outside Athlone to Point Blank three times a week, you could car pool with him perhaps?

i have being looking for mma or thai boxing in athlone the last year or more. there is nothing. i'm surprised that there hasn't being a proper club set up as there seems to be a lot of interest. its a pity because i reckon it could do very well.

From an earlier post on Boards.ie "Mullingar Grappling club is now on its feet, it is running on Saturdays from 6.30, in St Brigids hall, Harbour st, Mullingar. Contact :0872358043 for any further details or search for mulligar grappling club on bebo"
I know Philip "Sid" Allen from Athlone who trains with this club and a few of their members have competed in the mma league.
Hope this helps.

I'm going to Athlone too for 10 weeks doing phase 6 of my apprenticeship in FAS. I'm from Dundalk but have no transport so i'll be busing everywhere. Any updates on the thread? Thanks lads.

I know that Sid and Renauld (spelling probably wrong) are trying to set up a grappling/wrestling club in or around Athlone. I don't know what stage that is at though.
