Fantastic experience: My son who’s 4 and I have been training jiu Jitsu at Alexandre Fitness for a little over 3 Months now. I was unsure of which gym to choose and I’m glad we chose Alexandre Fitness BJJ. Reece and Joao, the kid’s instructors, are excellent teachers, very patient and always get the kids where they need to be. I can see my son progressing in every class and he enjoys be it a lot. Tiernan is the adult instructor for my classes and he’s brilliant too. Alex has built a great atmosphere and a great environment at the gym where everyone supports each other.You can see he truly cares. I particularly like their methodology and how it builds up in existing knowledge and past techniques. There’s a lot of attention to detail and ensuring you’re applying the right techniques as opposed to just strength. Highly recommend the gym.

Fantastic experience: A really relaxed environment to learn. I was apprehensive at the start as I didn’t know what to expect. I have been losing weight since joining but the biggest thing for me is it helps me manage my stress levels. I would recommend anyone to just give it a try if it’s not for you at least you can say you tried it!

Noel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Can definitely recommend this place as a chill, educational BJJ academy. I was looking to join a BJJ academy and took an introduction-class with Alex (all free of charge). Alex was super attentive, friendly and interested and devoted most of the time towards me. Amazing training ground and the perfect environment to start with BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Alex is an outstanding instructor with a deep understanding of the art. His teaching methods are clear, structured, and incredibly effective, making it easy to grasp even the most complex techniques. The atmosphere at Alexandre Fitness is fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The gym is always spotless, which speaks to the pride the team takes in maintaining a top-notch environment for training. Despite being new to Jiu Jitsu, I already feel confident in my decision to stay here for the long haul. If you’re looking for a place to train where both the instruction and the community are exceptional, I highly recommend Alexandre Fitness.

Tom Devlin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I Couldn’t recommend Alex and the lads enough. Having started BJJ in Abu Dhabi a few month’s ago, I moved back to Ireland when I began to train with the team. The lads have made it so easy for me to join the and grow along with the rest of the group. Alex has created an amazing atmosphere where newcomers are welcome and people of all ages and skill level can grow simultaneously. The classes are very regular and are designed to be both educational and competitive with the right balance. If you are thinking about joining and feeling anyway apprehensive, no need to worry as there is a such a welcoming vibe.

Fantastic experience: I enrolled my 2 sons in ju jitsu about 6 months ago aged 4 and 5.they were both wild boys full of enery and very difficult to keep under control. I can not express how brilliant Alex,Tom, reece and the rest of the team are. The discipline they have installed in my boys through patience,care and knowledge is outstanding. They are both thriving and loving every training session. As a father bringing my boys to Alex was one of the best decisions I ever made. Much love from the kelly family

Fantastic experience: I went to Alex for Strength and Conditioning private sessions for 4 weeks without any prior experience with weight lifting. Alex explained things very clearly and was extremely attentive during the sessions. Alex was very respectful and made me feel very comfortable in a new environment. Great value and experience over all. I would definitely recommend Alex for anyone who is looking to improve their fitness no matter what the goals may be. I've continued following the detailed Alex made for me at the start of the course and have seen improvements.

Fantastic experience: Recently moved into the area and needed to find somewhere new to train jiu jitsu. Found De La Riva by chance and decided to give the academy a try. Alex and the coaches are knowledgeable in what they teach and are so welcoming to new people looking to join. They cater for the complete beginner as well as people who have been training elsewhere. The academy has such a positive atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door. Would highly recommend the academy to anyone looking to join.

Ben Sneyd 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I only just started about 8 weeks ago, with zero martial arts experience. It was a little daunting arriving for the first time but I was made to feel at home straight away and like part of the team. I have already learned so much in my short time training with Alex and Tom, with Reece’s help also. I highly recommend trying it for yourself! (First class is free, so why not?)

Fantastic experience: My family and I went to Ireland for a holiday and spent the last 3 days in Dublin, a place I've never been to before. While searching on Google, I came across the gym and booked 2 private classes with Alex, the head coach, without knowing what to expect. These were the best two days I had during my entire vacation! The gym is great, exactly what I hoped for. Working closely with Alex was nothing but amazing experience. The number of aha moments I had while working with him are innumerable. couldn't recommend enough. Hope to be there again in the future. Thank You! OSS!

Fantastic experience: I brought my two kids along for a session. Alex was fantastic - as were the other trainers. So good with the kids - kind and attentive. My children loved it and wanted to start regular sessions. We are just too far away to make this a regular activity, but I cannot praise the staff in this facility enough. If I was closer, I would absolutely be signing my kids up!

Fergus Cullen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Me and my wife were looking for a Jiujitsu club for our little boy. He wasn’t yet 4 years old so it was a little hard to find lessons for him. Luckily we came across Alex’s BJJ club just off Kylemore Road. Soon after he joined I decided to give it a try and have never looked back. Our little boy loves it and Prof Alex and the other coaches Tom and Vincente are amazing. Lots of patience with the younger members. Kids classes combine technique with fun exercises so it’s really enjoyable for them. They learn to focus and concentrate but it’s fun too. For me, I never thought I’d be the type of person for BJJ but I love it. I do three mornings a week and if I had the time I’d go every day. Alex is a fantastic coach and everyone is supportive and friendly. A really great gang to learn a new skill with. One tip for beginners.. try it for a few weeks, not just one class, and you’ll love it.

Fantastic experience: Great community at this gym. They are like my second family. Upstairs and downstairs mats, fairly large space. Some gyms I have been too are way too crowded to properly roll. I like that they post their schedule online as well a no contract month to month rates. Discounted rates as well if you want to commit to multiple months. Lots of classes through the day. Gi and No gi classes everyday. They also have MMA classes as well. Great gym overall.

The gym itself is well kept, clean and very well resourced and has changing rooms for men and women. The classes are very inclusive and informative and it’s very easy to join as a complete beginner and get up to speed relatively quickly.

If you are someone like me and never did anything like this before and looking to give it a go well look no further than this academy.

Fantastic experience: I started attending Alexandre Fitness De La Riva BJJ Academy about 6 months ago. New to the sport with only knowledge I acquired through YouTube videos and podcasts I emailed Alexandre asking about the schedule. He quickly replied and invited me in for a class, going over the basic warm ups and stretches and showing me a move or two. Professor Alexandre sets up a highly professional, clean, and safe learning environment that leaves everyone with a big smile on their face at the end of class. I have never had so much fun learning something new before. As the weeks go on, I consistently show up and continue learn the philosophy of jiu jitsu. I have noticed that it has truly helped me in a positive way throughout my life. It has boosted my confidence and helps me stay in shape. If you’re looking to learn BJJ, stay active, keep a sharp mind, and grow as an individual then De La Riva BJJ is a great place to start.

Fantastic experience: Haven't been training in almost 2 years because of pandemic. Coach Alex consistently kept in touch throughout those years checking in making sure I was keeping well. Got back training this week and never felt so welcomed back by the team. It's a testament to the spirit of team work and what Alex is trying to promote within the club. If you want to try Jujitsu come down and train with to Da La Riva. It's welcoming space to start Jujitsu.

Fantastic experience: I'd have to give it 5 stars for doing private sessions with Alex. Alex was friendly and welcoming, he was happy to explain and answer questions and most importantly, I didn't feel like he was just trying to tell me what I wanted to hear. He gave constructive criticism regarding techniques and advice on making it better. He also has helped me begin to develop my game for competition giving advice on points as well as finishing. For sure my jiu jitsu has improved just from the handful of lessons! OSS!!!

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined Alexandre Fitness and De La Riva BJJ and highly recommend this Academy. If you are thinking about starting BJJ, then stop thinking and start doing!! Sign up for the free trial class, meet Alex and the other instructors and any doubts you may have had will be allayed instantly. From Alex's smile and friendly demeanour when you first enter to the welcoming atmosphere generally, you are sure to be motivated to begin (or continue) your BJJ journey. The classes are great and easy to follow no matter what your skill level, with each step broken down and explained thoroughly. In short, this Academy thoroughly deserves a 5 star review.

I was away from Jiu Jitsu for 8 years due to an injury and thanks to the applied methodology I am able to train! I recommend this gym to everyone who wants to learn what martial arts are at their core! Oss

Fantastic experience: I've been training martial arts for over 10 years and this is by far the most welcomed I have felt as a new student by not just Alex but by everyone in the gym. The classes are great and easy to follow no matter what level you are. As a full-time worker I found it hard to train as much as I wanted but thats not an issue here, the class times are great and I can fit 2 sessions per day around my job. I would 100% recommend Alexandre Fitness / De Lá Riva Dublin to anyone new or experienced.

Fantastic experience: Alex is extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher and the classes always have a great atmosphere. I started this initially for some extra cardio but since then all my other training has taken a back seat. Genuinely can't recommend Alex and the academy enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been training on and off for over 6 years and have had the luck of training in various countries, including the home of BJJ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for 3 years. I can honestly say this is one of the best gyms I have been in. The atmosphere is fantastic, everyone is very welcoming and willing to share. Alex is an outstanding teacher, he focuses on the little details that really enhance your game. He's very clear in his instructions and does a lot of specific positional training which I find to be of great benefit. Classes are divided between beginners and advanced, so there is something for everyone. There are both classes with kimono and without. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Fantastic experience: Anyone looking to start their BJJ journey, I highly recommend AFDLR Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, even as a beginner like myself; I thought I’d be holding others back but everyone is so humble and happy to roll with me and teach me techniques and even new moves! Instructors really know what they’re talking about, head coach, Alex is very professional, patient, and accommodating to his students. Just overall a great environment to be in to help you develop yourself mentally and physically as a person. I definitely will be returning!
