Legendary fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu savant Royce Gracie will attend and will host a ladies’ self defence class from 12-1.30pm, while also participating in a drive to raise money for charity.

Contributions on the day will be matched in full by Bellator MMA for the benefit of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

“It’s been incredible to see SBG grow from its humble beginnings to what it is now,” Kavanagh said of the new facility.”I’m so proud of the team and all we’ve created so far and am looking forward to seeing all we’ll achieve in our new home in Inchicore.”

The gym is located at Unit 13 of the Goldenbridge Industrial Estate on Tyrconnell Road in Inchicore, Dublin.
