Kokoro Mixed Martial Arts in Dublin have now taken delivery of a brand new, world class, training surface for use in Mixed Martial Arts and Submission Wrestling/Grappling Training.

Imported from the U.S., these mats are in use at Xtreme Couture MMA, Team Hughes, Team Quest, Travis Lutter’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Machado Jiu Jitsu Academy, NAGA (North American Grappling Association), many other world class facilities, virtually all noteworthy grappling/wrestling competitions and now Kokoro MMA Dublin.

The seamless mats (shown above) will be installed this weekend and this means they will be available for use at Kokoro’s upcoming seminar with World Submissions Champion - Braulio Estima (Click Here).

We’ll get some photos up shortly after the installation and we’ll hold an open mat day (all clubs invited) at some point in the very near future to ensure they get put to good use! Taking delivery of “the safest training surface in the world” is a proud milestone in the progression of Kokoro Mixed Martial Arts are were are ever grateful to those that have made it possible!

John W. Smith - Head Coach: Oklahoma State University:

“I would like to take this opportunity to give my highest recommendation to the Dollamur wrestling mat system. In every way, Dollamur’s product has matched Spieth Anderson’s unsurpassed level of quality, durability and performance.

As a wrestler, the most important piece of equipment is the surface you practice and compete on. Without a doubt, the Dollamur product is the safest and fastest mat I have ever wrestled on.

In talking to other wrestlers, I have yet to find one that would not prefer wrestling on a Dollamur mat. When you add to that the unique system Dollamur uses to make a mat that will last without thinning out or needing to be reconditioned, I think you have the lightest, safest, fastest, most durable mat on the market today.”
