Fantastic experience: My son started at Brazier about a year ago. Since then I have noticed my teenage son become a more confident person . The team and other members at Brazier are really good role models for him . They are so friendly, welcoming and can deal with any issues you might have in relation to your child. Really happy with his progress . They are like a family to each other, and treat my son so well. I'd recommend Brazier 5 star Imelda

Fantastic experience: Foi a melhor academia que encontrei para treinar Jiu Jitsu em Dublin. O ambiente é maravilhoso, os nossos mestres nos ensinam mais que Jiu jitsu. A cada aula nos passam a certeza que jiu jitsu não é força, mas sim inteligência, não seguimos os passos da estupidez, aprendemos a ver para além da nossa faixa, o respeito ao próximo é uma das principais regras, somos uma família e aprendemos com todos os membros! Super recomendo Brazier Jiu Jitsu Academy!

Fantastic experience: Its hard to put into words how special of an environment has been created at Brazier. Even as a new joiner you don’t have to go through the awkward phase, everyone welcomes you instantly and you quickly feel like at home. The proffesors are really atentive and make sure everything is going well at every stage. They also carefully craft out the curriculum so that its easier for you to remember the concepts. By focussing on certain areas at a time and really digging into the details of it I’ve noticed my body really interiorizes the techniques and concepts and this is thanks to how well planned out the lessons are. Respect is really at the core of all interactions you will encounter here, I couldn’t recommend it more!

The coaches provide high-level jiu jitsu instruction that is methodical and systematic, making learning easier for all levels. They give personalized attention to each student, which has significantly helped my development. The community here is incredible, with people from many cultures and backgrounds. Everyone is supportive, fostering a team spirit where members help one another. This camaraderie has helped me make some of my best friends. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced practitioner, training for leisure or to compete, Brazier has something to offer. There is strong support for those who wish to compete, and the overall environment is encouraging and growth-focused. If you want high-quality jiu jitsu instruction and a welcoming, diverse community, Brazier is the place to be.

Craig Daly Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: A club where business is secondary and passion is first. Andre and Leandro are amazing instructors who put their hearts on their sleeves when they step foot on to the mats. Students are taught well physically and mentally by the instructors, humbling experience every time I share the mats with all of these men and women. God bless this Academy

Stacey Hill Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I visited about a month ago for a class - Professor Andre and his students were really welcoming and friendly. We had a great time drilling and rolling after 3 months off the mats! If you’re looking for a club to train BJJ in, we would highly recommend Andre Ramos BJJ! Great culture on the mats! Hope to be back someday, if not, hope to see you in New Zealand!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The coach is incredible, the team are amazingly supportive and focussed, and everyone was generously welcoming from day 1. I'm the fittest I've ever been, and it felt reasonably effortless because it is so addictive and fun. Wish I would have trained here from the start; don't think about it, just come down and try it out! :)

Thuy Nguyen Published on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Andre Ramos is BJJ blackbelt and a Capoiera maestro. It is a priviledge to train and learn from one of the best BJJ instructors in Ireland. Andre Ramos break the techniques down and will review them with the students until they feel comfortable with and understand them. The environment at the dojo is always a friendly and welcoming one. We are like one family. The school is located in the very heart of the city, easy to get to and the facilities are clean/spacious. I highly recommend this school to everyone. Definitely 5 stars from me.
