Can't recommend this place enough! Indra and Ben have been stellar coaches, not just when it comes to technique but also to boost your confidence. Doing MMA has not only built my self defence skills but has also given me a sense of belonging amongst other strong, kind and badass women! 💪

Dropped in here while visiting Ireland. My daughter is a BJJ competitor and we were looking for a place to train. They were happy to let her join the classes. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly, she learned a lot, amazing experience! This place is fantastic.

Brilliant Gym, my 4 kids ranging in age from 10 to 18 all attend and receive excellent coaching and mentorship at Shaolin. We probably pass 10 other martial arts gyms from where we live on the way to Shaolin but we will never leave. There is such a great atmosphere and they learn much more than martial arts at Shaolin.

Shaolin is such a welcoming place and wonderful for anyone interested in MMA and other combat sports at any level! The women’s classes are super lovely, Indra is a great coach and the sisterhood is like a second family ❤️ Would recommend to anyone interested in picking up a new sport, challenging themselves physically, or looking for a warm social community in Galway.
