Amazing gym. I dropped in to a fundamentals and advanced class; both were great. Excellent instruction by Liam, and as a blue belt woman, it was inspiring to share the mats with two black belt ladies and one brown belt lady. Everyone was lovely. Highly recommend, I’m only sad I couldn’t train there more!

Good way to clear your head + if you're looking for something that will make you move more but gym feels too boring. There's some classes/open mats on every day if your schedule changes a lot, think it's a really good value for €90 a month :)

I've been training with BJJ Cork for the past 3 years and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As a blue belt, I've seen my game improve dramatically thanks to their incredibly high standards of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. What stands out most though is the people. The coaches and training partners are outstanding — welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in everyone's growth. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, the atmosphere is positive, humble, and focused on getting better every session. If you're in Cork and looking for a serious yet friendly BJJ gym, I highly recommend BJJ Cork. One of the best decisions I've made for my martial arts journey! Thank you to everyone at the gym — Oss! 💪

A tremendous environment to learn and train jiu jitsu created by Head Coach Liam, who always brings with him the positive/fun vibes we all need on the mats. That blended with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience passed on through Liam and his amazingly helpful coaching staff makes BJJ Cork one of the best places to be no matter what level you are at on your BJJ journey. Friendly/Fun/Team atmosphere. I highly recommend you pay a visit to this club. 🤙

As someone who joined Bjj Cork with no martial art experience, all the coaches and members created such a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I joined the club. Although it is an individual sport I have never felt such a strong sense of community as I have while training here. The amount of encouragement I have received from coaches and members has helped me to improve my confidence in both Bjj and also in life! I would highly recommend training here whether you are a beginner or an experienced martial artist!

I have been training at BJJ Cork since 2019. An outstanding gym with a very high standard, great culture, and most importantly, mighty craic. Head Coach Liam is as tough as he is welcoming, and this is the place to train if you want a good vibe and hard training. This is especially true for beginners, as the beginners course offers a great entry point into jiu jitsu for both men and women, young and old!

Great club. So much skill and experience in there. Liam and his team have created an incredibly friendly, family-like atmosphere which is really supportive. Classes and open mats cater to all abilities from the novice and new practitioners to those who compete and are competitive at national and international level. I'm a 38 year old white belt and am 100% better for the opportunity to train at BJJCork.

BJJ Cork is an outstanding gym. Top level coaches, great atmosphere and an overall brilliant environment to learn. Everyone is catered for, with beginner classes being regularly run and along with weekly fundamentals and advanced classes with multiple open mats! Cannot recommend BJJ Cork highly enough to anyone who’s looking to take this up!

It is a fantastic gym to train. Liam and all the other instructors are very knowledgeable and supportive and always happy to take time to explain any technical points. The people at the classes are always welcoming and happy to help. All in all a great atmosphere and a great place to learn. I would definitely recomend to anyone that wants to start or continue their bjj journey in Cork.

I started with Liam and the coaches in September and absolutely love it. A great number of coaches with huge experience means I look forward to every class. Frequently the club has coaches from abroad who visit and add further interest to sport. There is plenty of opportunity for open mats throughout the week. It should also be said there is a very welcoming , friendly buzz around the club. I couldn't recommend the BJJ Cork enough !!
