    Tony Souza is a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu directly under Ralph Gracie. He’s a long history of working as both coach and fighter with Team Ralph Gracie and we’re delighted to announce that Tony has now officially joined the coaching team at Kokoro MMA, Dublin. We made Tony’s arrival official, with a BJJ for MMA workshop, this weekend and we had a blast!

    For anyone interested in training No-Gi BJJ under Tony Souza, he will be coaching every Tuesday & Wednesday evening from 18:00-19:00 at the Kokoro MMA Dublin gym.
