I've had the pleasure to meet coach John Kavanagh in SBG International camp in Georgia, Buford. Coach John Kavanagh is a long time student of coach Matt Thornton, founder of SBG International. Coach John Kavanagh also successfully runs SBG Dublin and the whole SBG Ireland part of organization.
Few of us have a chance to train and see a legendary fighter such as Conor McGregor grow. I was asking the question of what makes a legendary fighter various coaches, yet I always knew that if I will meet coach John Kavanagh, it will be the perfect chance to ask this question. I was definitely not disappointed.
Coach John Kavanagh was teaching both an MMA and BJJ session in the SBG International camp. His footage will be later released on SBG University. If you want to see coach John Kavanagh teach - make sure to check out www.sbguniversity.com
