  The professors /coaches are really nice and knowledgable with a real passion for their art. The students I have met so far are all very friendly and helpful. There is a really nice atmosphere of respect. It is lots of fun and great exercise. I am an older person to start BJJ at 47 but was made feel very welcome. The timetable and location are also excellent with classes running all day from 7am until the evening right in the centre of Dublin making it easy to fit into your life. I highly recommend JSBJJ to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu.

  Accurately speaking but just do not get me started. Where to begin. I have been to many a jiu jutsu school and session before. Seen I have good ones and bad. On the outside I thought that because of the appearance and location of this place it could have been miles better. Instead appearances can be deceiving. The teachers had no patience. They knew nowhere near as much as they are supposed to as instructors. When approached with any new information regarding the martial art from people who know what they are saying and just because they happened to be the so-called new guy as students the ''instructors' as it were scoff them out of it as though its some kind of joke. If thats going to be the case where the instructors in question treat people so bad then how worse do they when those who train there get to a higher level. Dont ask I suppose. Just find another dojo. Many are the people who will follow toxic cults. But at the same time ever that should not be the traits that organizations in this case should be pushing on people.

  This gym made me feel welcome straight away. The coaches and people are really friendly. Whenever I'm in Dublin it's going to be a must visit.

  I had a great time training in this gym for the past year and a half. My ju-jitsu has progressed massively and I'm delighted to have gotten my blue belt. I just wasn't a big fan of the uniform policy which is why I knocked off a star.

  Both my children were members of the club, my 7 years-old son for a year and half, and my 4 years-old daughter for six months. I cannot describe with words how good the club's attitude towards children is, how good the training staff is, and how professionally it is all managed! There are so many jiu jitsu clubs in Dublin and we were recommended this one by some Brazilian friends in September 2021. Their work with children does not only revolve around teaching them the martial art skills in a safe and secured environment, but also around rewording their behavior in and outside the gym with the system of multicolored stripes. Previously, my son struggled a bit with shyness and insecurity, but over the past 18 months of training jujitsu, his confidence in dealing with other kids rocketed! He idolized coaches Pedro and Gabriel, while my daughter literally adored Vicky! At the same time, Laura and Alex manage the club in the most professional fashion. Overall, JSBJJ is a wonderful combo of a relaxed Brazilian atmosphere, set within the context of the highest Irish/European standards of safety and hygiene. The only reason my children had to leave, was as we are leaving Dublin and moving to the west of Ireland. But they can't wait to visit the club again, on the first occasion when we come back to the city. P.S. I saw that one person in the comments below complained about the dressing room, managing even to bring in the issue of child-safety!!!??? As a parent, all I can say is that I never had any fears or worries over the safety of my children. Such a comment is the greatest BS anyone could ever write!
