  Joining John Donehue Jiu Jitsu & MMA is undoubtedly one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Not only has this gym helped me get in to the best physical shape of my life, it’s allowed me to meet some amazing friends and turned in to a second home. After hearing about the legendary achievements of coach I was in awe & extremely grateful to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from someone with such pedigree despite having no experience myself. Outside of coach himself, every single class is taken by someone with a wealth of knowledge & great attitude towards teaching which makes taking part in something physically challenging a breeze & lots of fun. It speaks volumes of the culture that has been built in this incredible place and I am so blessed & grateful to be a small part of it. The facilities are extremely clean and well maintained, every time I come in I’m always greeted with a smile. Thank you to the amazing staff, and coaches of JD’s for helping to change my life every session for the better. If you’re hesitant to join, like I was - please give it a try, you won’t look back. After my first year here, I can’t wait for the many years to come.

  I’ve been fortunate enough to train at John Donehue Jiu Jitsu and MMA for nearly 2 years now, in that time the skills I’ve learnt and the friends I’ve made, will be worthwhile for years to come, classes are professional but friendly, catering to all levels, from those who just want to learn to those looking to compete. The coaches are helpful and knowledgeable in their respective disciplines, and have truly supported me throughout my time there. Coach is someone that many travel to learn from and for good reason. This gym has helped me physically get in shape, mentally turn my life around and I would not feel half as good as I do now in my day to day life without this gym. 100/10, highly recommend.

  Joining this gym has been the most meaningful and life changing decision of my life. The most experienced, cleanest, friendliest and welcoming gym in Melbourne. For two years now I’ve been a member of and pupil under Coach. The personal development one can achieve under the guidance of coach and the other world class coaching staff, both as an athlete and as an individual are incomparable. The management staff of the gym are the most friendly and welcoming to all students, new or returning. The facilities are very well maintained and cleaned meticulously. Filled with modern equipment, clean spaces and always a welcomed smile. Whether or not you’re seeking to develop a new skill, dip your toes into a martial art, start a new hobby, make new friends, become a world class competitive athlete or more importantly grow into a better person through training a martial art, look no further than John Donehue Jiujitsu and MMA. Join the family and see where your martial arts journey can take you

  Couldn’t recommend JDs any higher, since my first session everyone involved with the gym from coaches, to staff, to students have all been amazing to train with. Everyone there from brand new to seasoned veterans are all willing to help you learn and develop across all the disciplines. Whether competition focused or fitness focused, they tick every box and make you feel welcome. Loved every minute of it!
