  Joined the gym in October 2022 for a 2 week free trial to try BJJ for the first time, absolutely loved it and joined as a full time member. The coaches are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. Great atmosphere in the gym, train hard and have a laugh while doing it. There’s a mixture of Gi, NoGi classes, as well as wrestling and Judo which very few clubs can offer under one roof. Highly recommended anyone considering trying BJJ for the first time to join Defiant and give it a go!

  Great little gym. Very welcoming, very clean, very modern. Coach is very friendly, no big marketing push, always you and your circumstances first. Members are fab, no egos and all keen to help you develop and improve. No questions are stupid questions. Love it.

  Starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu can seem like a daunting process as most people tend to worry about what kind of environment they are entering, what might be expected of them or how they will be treated. This is especially true for people who have never studied a martial art before and there is additional pressure to choose the right school or coach. After a ten year hiatus from martial arts I decided to finally commit to learning BJJ so I googled all the clubs in my local area and looked at their respective websites and facebook pages. Still none the wiser I decided to email a some of the clubs to get more information about their classes and club structure. RMNU Ireland head coach Justin McGibbon was the first to email me back (some didn't bother) and answer my queries. After a few more email exchanges I went to one the Monday night sessions at the Valley leisure centre where I met the guys and after years of procrastination (re)started my bjj journey. RMNU are a great team with no undue pressure and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Beginners are made to feel welcome and learning / rolling increases in a way that is concurrent with your skill level. Great club, great atmosphere and approachable, highly knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommended.
