My six year old son has been going for three months. He really likes it and is learning things too. The instructors are great with kids and mix technical instruction, sparring and play to great effect. The ratio of instructors to kids is very good and allows them to pay plenty of individual attention, especially during the more physical and technical activities.
Visiting Limerick for 2 weeks and dropped in for a session last night. Top group of guys for the Gi sparring class.
Very welcoming, highly skilled room.
Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to train.
Great place for kids to learn jujitsu - staff are really friendly, getting the kids to learn through fun and gamification is great to watch, my boy loves it. Can’t wait to take my younger boy too when he’s old enough. Even has me wanting to learn jujitsu. Couldn’t recommend it more, great skills for any child to have.
Started the beginners course in early 2023, really enjoyed it and have stayed since. Very welcoming group and great training. Would gladly recommend.

Not my usual gym as I live in the UK but over seeing some family and had to get in a few rounds. What a great bunch of guys, very welcoming and had some great rolls. Couldn't recommend it enough!
"Harris & Peter have been training at Limerick BJJ for six years now., they have trained at numerous other martial arts gym’s and I can honestly say that the BJJ training is far superior in every way, but for us as parents what’s far more important is the sense of family within the club.!
Fergal, Miso, Martina and Paddy have been amazing coaches with our children teaching them not only the amazing BJJ skills but also how to be better human beings..!
Limerick BJJ is a 5 ⭐️ environment for learning self defense fundamentals and we Highly Recommend 🙏🏻"
Great gym with top class coaches and a friendly welcoming atmosphere.
Amazing club for kids ! 2 boys started jiu-jitsu at 4 and have loved being part of the friendly atmosphere and training for over 6 years. The skills they have been taught through fun games is spectacular. The enjoyment they get from the sport is fantastic but the peace of mind I get knowing they can protect themselves in such a non-attack approach is reassuring. 5⭐️
Professor Mara is an absolute gangster. She definitely epitomizes the phrase "technique conquers all". Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you live in the area or are visiting this would be the go to place to train jiu jitsu.

"I have been lucky enough to have trained and competed against some of the best guys in the World and Fergal is right up there! World Class level. I saw this first hand when he came to 🇧🇷 and all the Brazilian used to love to train with him due to his quality and technique.
We’re very lucky to have some of Fergal’s calibre in Ireland, let alone Limerick. Fergal’s JiuJitsu is outstanding and he is a lovely guy to boot!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out the most frequently asked questions about Limerick BJJ Academy .
Still haven't found the answer?
Contact UsDo I need to be fit to do BJJ?
Our beginners course is perfect for all fitness levels. You'll work up a sweat but we've got people of all ages, abilities and flexibilities that you can pair up with. Everyone on the beginners course will be new to BJJ as well.
What equipment do I need?
For the beginners course you'll just need gym style clothes like an old t shirt, shorts or leggings and a water bottle. In our white belt class we train with both the Gi and No Gi. We sell rash guards and Gis but you are welcome to wear your own to our white belt classes after you complete the 6 weeks. BJJ is one of the most cost effective hobbies and sports out there.
Is BJJ dangerous?
All sports have some level of risk but our gym emphasises a safe training environment above all else. You'll never have to pair up with someone you don't want to and our culture revolves around using technique over strength at all times. This seriously mitigates risk of injury and we're proud to keep this culture going. The beginners class is separate from the main classes and upon graduating and joining as a full member you'll be paired against other graduates for added sense of security and time to absorb the basics of the sport.
