Matt completes Ireland & Sweden tour:

This February Matt spent a little over two weeks touring all over Ireland, and finishing up at the SBGi Sweden locations. Matt did 12 separate workshops and seminars including three separate locations in Dublin, as well as Galway and Belfast.

From there Matt went to Norrköping for a weekend seminar that included SBGi Coaches & BJJ black belts John Kavanagh, and Karl Tanswell. Matt finished off the tour at SBGi Stockholm, before flying back home to Portland.

It was a real pleasure to have old SBGi friends Pritt from Estonia, and Vic from Sweden. . .both of whom have lived for several Months in Portland in order to train in Years past.

From Matt: “This was a great tour and there are a lot of people to thank for helping put it together. But special thanks goes to John Kavanagh and Daniel Bäckefelt for their help, and also Karl Tanswell for helping out in Sweden. I don’t want to leave anyone out, so I will leave it at that. But I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. I had a really good trip.And I am consistently impressed by the real technical quality of all the SBGi family members around the globe!”
