5 bjj studios to discover.

Last updated

Cork has five Brazilian jiu-jitsu studios listed here, spread across the city rather than concentrated in a single district. Bishopstown, on the southwest side, is home to rebel bjj, which holds a 4.7 rating, while Samson Martial Arts operates in the Docklands, close to the city centre, and carries a 4.9. Aontach Jiu-Jitsu is based in Dublin Hill, north of the River Lee, and sits at the top of the ratings alongside T45 Jiujitsu Cork and Barão Jiu-Jitsu Cork, both on 5.0. That mix of northside, southside and central locations means most of the city is within reach of a gi or no-gi class. Each listing below gives a studio's location and rating so you can compare options by area before choosing where to train.
