Brazier Jiu-Jitsu

Brazier Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school on the first floor of Motorcity on Kylemore Road, Dublin 12. It runs around 16 classes a week across six days, in both Gi and No-Gi. Adults start in Fundamentals and move on to Advanced, with a Friday sparring session, and a women-only Ladies class on Saturday mornings welcomes complete beginners.

Kids train in three age bands from four to fourteen so nobody rolls with a partner much bigger than themselves, and parents can watch from the mat edge and train in the adult class that follows. Coaches include Andre Zavatini, Jaque Almeida and Leandro Pessoa.

The first class is free, with no experience or kimono needed and a gi to borrow, and visitors from other schools can drop in. Bookings, memberships and belt tracking run through the MatPilot app.
