Republic of Jiu Jitsu

Negative experience: This guy is the reason not to join this club. Very rude and not very intelligent. Suggest you go to other BJJ gyms. Update: the gym tries to remove all negative reviews but not this one sorry

Fantastic experience: Attended the Saturday open mat at ROJ and was welcomed with open arms by everyone. What great group!!! Everyone was game, super friendly. Obrigado to Prof Rodrigues and Coach Colm for letting me drop in today. A big thank you to everyone I rolled with today. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Fantastic experience: ROJ is legit. Team and Coach had a very welcoming energy—no egos. Technical instruction and rounds. Will definitely drop in again when I return to Dublin!

Fantastic experience: Training here for a couple months now. No pressure, no coach cults, no macho crap, but very high level Bjj and a good competitive crew for those who want that. Very welcoming to anyone. Most convenient to central Dublin, too. As someone who owns other gyms, and has had bad experiences at plenty of Bjj schools, I highly recommend ROJ.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in here back in October for a Saturday class. What a great and welcoming group! Everybody was very friendly and willing to match my intensity. I was looking for some chill travel rolls while on vacation and that's what I got. Thanks for a great time guys!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Republic of Jiu-Jitsu for a week now, and I absolutely love it! The gym has a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where everyone is friendly and supportive. The coaches are amazing—they take the time to explain techniques clearly and ensure you’re comfortable, no matter your level. The space itself is fantastic: it’s bright, spacious, and very accessible in a great part of Dublin. They’ve got all the facilities you need, including showers, and if you’re missing any gear, they’re happy to lend you what you need. The variety of classes is incredible. Whether you’re into wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu with Gi or No-Gi, MMA, or open mat sparring sessions, there’s something for everyone, and all levels are welcome. The coaches are genuinely passionate about Jiu-Jitsu, and it really shows—they’re great at passing on that passion. If you’re considering starting or continuing your Jiu-Jitsu journey, I highly recommend checking out Republic of Jiu-Jitsu. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: A totally clean, good atmosphere with incredible people, there are classes every day of the week and on Saturday mornings and evenings, the coaches are extremely careful and always ensure you are learning, the team itself is exceptional.

Fantastic experience: Me and my daughter are MMA missionaries from the United States. We had plans to train BJJ and MMA at a few different gyms around the Dublin area. On this particular day we were heading to Markievicz fitness center for a swim and sauna, but sadly they were closed due to a bank holiday. We were a little disappointed, took a wrong turn on our walk back to the Hostel when my daughter saw the Brazilian flag outside a door, and Bam! There it was, disappointment was quickly replaced with pure joy, as their open mat was just beginning. We were made extremely welcome. The day after this open mat we went back for the no-gi class. Great instruction and tough rolls. Great experience! Just more proof that BJJ and grappling is a universal language and culture of love. May the good Lord bless and keep these excellent men and women at the Republic of Jiu-Jitsu.

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend. Was in for a quick 2 day visit and dropped into a few classes. Simple and effective techniques and a great group and attitude. Great rolls y’all. Bob from Texas.

Fantastic experience: Love going to classes here! Great guys great training and a really great place! Completely recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I had a great session with the guys at ROJ last night. I was only in the city for a long weekend and was given a great welcome. Learned a few tricks I'll be taking back home with me. Definitely coming back the next time I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here for a trial class while visiting from out of town and was immediately impressed with the beautiful, light, open space and the attention to hygiene/cleanliness. Abnel is a likeable guy and great coach, who shared some cool techniques with us, with the right amount of details, and made the class fun. The other students were also welcoming and friendly, the sparring was fun and respectful, and the atmosphere in general was just what I look for in a gym. I look forward to returning next time I am in Dublin!

Fantastic experience: Very good gym and the people treat you very well I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Started training here over a month ago great guys and girls everyone's being very welcoming the coaches are really good. Enjoying every moment of it.

Fantastic experience: This is an absolute gem of a place to train. The people couldn’t be nicer, lots of different styles, and a warm inviting atmosphere. I’ve dropped in twice now visiting from Texas and thoroughly enjoyed both times. If you are local to Dublin, be sure to give this gym a go. If you are just visiting and looking for a place to drop in- this is the spot.

Fantastic experience: I joined this week and its been a great welcoming atmosphere. The coach and the guys are really helpful and supportive to progress your learning and skill.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around. Bright, clean gym with clean shower facilities and great friendly members. There are classes for everyone, from kids classes, beginner classes, advanced classes, womens classes and yoga. All the coaches have different styles from GI to NoGi. I couldn't recommend Republic of Jiu Jistu anymore.
