Portrait of Paddy Holohan

Head coach and MMA

Paddy Holohan

“I am passionate about taking both average and naturally athletic people out of their comfort zone and into something new.”

Tallaght born, raised in Jobstown. He went to his first jiu-jitsu class at 18, turned professional at 19 and fought on the 2016 UFC Dublin card. Now his full attention is on this school, and he is as passionate about beginner kids as he is about the fight team.

First visit

Your first step. We'll take it with you.

What do I bring?

Sportswear and a gum shield. Ask the team about a rash guard and Gi before buying any equipment, and ask what you need before your first MMA session.

I have never trained. Is that OK?

Yes. The Emerald programme is built for beginners and people coming back to martial arts. Beginner striking builds the mechanics without sparring, and there is no expectation to compete.

How old do kids need to be?

Growing Gorillas starts at age 4 and runs to 16, in four groups by life stage.

Is strength and conditioning included?

Strength and conditioning runs through King of Kings at the facility. It is booked separately from martial arts membership.

Same roof. Three more ways in.
