Whether you’re brand new or have some experience, you’ll fit in quickly. Classes are well run with a good mix of technique, drilling, and rolling. It’s something I genuinely look forward to every week. If you’re thinking about trying BJJ or just want a good gym with good people, I’d definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding kids’ program! My son has been training at this BJJ academy since he was just 3 years old, and the growth we’ve seen—both on and off the mats—has been incredible. The coaches have an amazing rapport with the children, balancing discipline, fun, and encouragement in a way that truly connects with young minds. They create a safe, supportive, and confidence-building environment where kids thrive. I can’t recommend this academy enough for families looking to give their children a strong, respectful, and empowering start in martial arts.

Fantastic experience: My children age 4 & 7 trained with Satori while we were back in Ireland for 5 weeks on holiday. They loved the classes, and made friends with some lovely children. Great little community, we felt very welcome. Thanks once again
Fantastic experience: After training overseas for 2 years I was anxious about going to a new gym but everyone couldn’t have been more accomodating. We had a great session and will most certainly be back. The Knowledge and skill on and off the mats was amazing. Cheers lads we will drop in everytime we come up to Dublin.
Fantastic experience: While visiting from Australia on 4 different occasions, it has been an absolute must to get in and train with the Satori team. Their Jiujitsu is absolutely high level, yet their gym culture makes it a fun and welcoming training space for a hobbiest practitioner like myself. Their facilities are the best I have come across to date and the customer service is impecible. An absolute credit to the grass roots BJJ scene on the island of Ireland.
Fantastic experience: Top gym. If you're looking to start your martial arts journey this is the place.
Negative experience: Absolutely terrible experience, avoid at all cost. They are so unprofessional and their customer service is non existent. When it comes to taking money they will reply very quickly but when you need to address something they will avoid answering, replying, very ignorant service.
Hi Marta, are you sure you have the right academy?
We cannot find anybody with your name, or any person with your surname, ever having been a customer of ours
All the best,
John
Fantastic experience: Went down to an open Matt in satori great rolls and coaches were very helpful would recommend anyone starting or of any experience level to go down and train
Fantastic experience: Such a good club throughout all the years I've been coming. Would recommend it to anyone no doubt!
Fantastic experience: Great Gym with really high level of Jiu-Jitsu and great hospitality. The Team is forthcoming to visitors and you really feel at home immediately. Looking forward to come back to train. Also great for just dropping in and Training if you are not from around!
Fantastic experience: Great club overall. Very good coaches.
Fantastic experience: Great martial arts gym, with a great friendly environment and amazing coaches
Fantastic experience: Great teachers, great facilities and lots of fun. Would highly recommend to a friend.
Fantastic experience: After pushing off starting BJJ for so long I threw myself in here, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Pat & John took me in the exact same way they have taken in everyone else that’s started before me and after me, with what feels like a big hug(metaphorically). You quickly realise it’s more than just a gym, it’s a big community and everyone is in it together. If anyone ever tip toes around the thoughts of trying out BJJ or MMA, pushing yourself to come here is the best decision you will ever make With the morning classes it makes it easy to train at least 2/3 times a day if you’re a shift worker like myself
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Satori Bjj. It has changed my life for the better. A good friendly bunch of people . A nice friendly vibe . And Overall a Good Time
Fantastic experience: Great jiu jitsu club,sooo good and great guys running this club,amazing good with kids,l have two young girls they loved this club,they going with smile for training,recommend them 100% ,they in blanchardstown. 5 star Give the shoot
Fantastic experience: Satori is truly the best gym I've been to. The knowledge, respect and good vibes with genuine people is on another level. I would, and do recommend Satori to all my friends interested in starting or growing their knowledge in various martial arts disciplines! Big fresh facilities and wonderful straff. All ages, All levels and All good vibes.
Fantastic experience: Satori helped me to build up confidence, discipline and respect to other people. I have been in Satori for about 2 and a half years now and I feel that I fit right in. All of the staff members are very kind and helpful. I like Brazilian jiu jitsu because its not the size or strength of a person that matters, but it is the technique. If you truly master the technique you can beat anyone, and I think that Satori is the best place to learn.
Fantastic experience: Great gym relly enjoyed the classes would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym highly recommend it
Fantastic experience: Excellent all round. Very helpful, encouraging coaches bringing out the best in all those who attend. My son has discovered a passion for BJJ and mixed martial arts through Satori BJJ.
Fantastic experience: Great martial arts gym brought my daughter here one year ago Reilly likes it has learned a lot and made some new friends the coaches are very welcomening and proffesinol great facelity in dublin 15
Fantastic experience: This place is AWESOME I have been going there for a year now. I have learned so much, and I had made lots of friends and it's so much fun. The staff are really kind and very supportive. I give this 5 stars, I highly recommend it to everyone to try it. Not only does it give you self defense but a very good mental health. It also helps to forget about all your worries. This helped me have an even better life.
Fantastic experience: Get gym my son loved it. Instructors were great with all the kids would definitely recommend this place
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Satori for two years and would highly recommend the club to anyone looking to participate in martial arts at any level of experience. The gym has fantastic facilities and great quality coaches who break down complex movements into clear, easy to understand steps. The atmosphere in the gym is very welcoming and the Sheridan brothers have created a culture of everyone pulling in the same direction, trying to make each other better. Great gym.
Fantastic experience: My son has been training in Satori for nearly 2 years now and I’m training BJJ with the lads for approximately two months. Top class gym through and through, which starts firstly with people and their commitment to the community and the sport. If you want to judge any martial arts gym, not that you ever should, I believe you start with the kids program. Has to be the biggest kids program in the country fantastic curriculum that is very well thought out from ABC classes from very young (3 years old I think) all the way up to teens, the classes for the kids are very structured and the coaches are fantastic with them , commanding the right level of respect while mixing in the most important factor, FUN. Promoting/hosting fantastic competitions all the way from Grassroots up to National and International for kids and adults is really amazing, the coaches foster competitive spirit in the kids but never push them into competition, its always down the child and their feelings on comps or if they’d rather just train and go that way every child gets the same level of attention and commitment. A fun ,safe environment for the kids, which is the most important thing. From adults perspective again its fantastic, I’m only beginning my journey with BJJ, but there has been no negatives, its fantastic too that one of my coaches is also one of my sons coaches! Again the adults curriculum is very structured all the way up from beginner, teach you the basics (though nothing in BJJ is basic) so you progress up to intermediate classes with a good base so you can roll with people who have more experience. Great mix of GI and No GI, so something for everyone. There is also weight training programs tailored for you and on specific days through out the week. MMA, Muay Thai, Wresting, and Boxing all available with specialist teaching/coaches in each discipline, again both kids and adults coaching in each art. In terms of facilities, I don’t think you’re going to find bigger or better purpose built in Ireland, HUGE mat space, pretty much run 3 full adults classes on the main mats at the same time, another on the secondary mats also, there’s even a training MMA cage in the facility. Large selection of weights for strength training and heavy bags for practice. Overall amazing, run by the Sheridan bros who are flagstones of BJJ in Ireland, you’d be doing well to find a better gym. Highly recommended. Free trial classes, so you can go down and try it out for yourself and make your own mind up, you won’t be disappointed if you do.
Fantastic experience: I joined satori only a couple of months ago and it was one of the best decisions i have ever made great bunch of lads who are always welcoming to new members. Satori is fully equipped gym from punch bags to free weights accompanied with top class coaches ! Everything you'll need to further better yourself as a martial artist.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant gym. Great atmosphere, experienced coaches, very friendly staff. Highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Satori has everything you are looking for in MA. Boxing,Thai,Bjj,Mma. Friendly atmosphere and great coaches. Pick any path and you won’t be disappointed. Be it adult of any level or a child of any age Satori has everything for them. I don’t know what kind of a troll would put 1 star for this 5 star facility. Just come and see for yourself.
Fantastic experience: Couldn't say enough good things about this gym. The amount of time and effort they put into their students is incredible. Easier becoming one of the best gyms in the country for adults and kids. Both coaches are high level brown belts in Jiu jitsu and the gym facilitie is very big. I joined this gym 3 years ago now and its completely changed my life in a positive way.
Negative experience: If unprofessionalism had a synonym it will be satori. Even one star and It's still be too much. Not only no one holds black belt in BJJ but the highest rank they have is a purple belt, also being disrespectful and discriminating towards students and let's not forget that everything is about money for them, if they can charge you the air you breath inside they'll do it. Go train elsewhere where you're being respected and being encouraged in excelling in martial arts and leave the wannabes in their fake universe.
Hi,
I hope all worked out for you training elsewhere.
All the best,
John

Fantastic experience: I have trained at satori for a number of years and have kept in shape and met many friends doing it and made a lot of good memorys thanks to the great coaches facilities and people training there
Fantastic experience: My two daughters have been doing jiu-jitsu there for the last two years and they love it! It's brought them new skills, new friends and a confidence in themselves! I myself do muay thai kick boxing there aswell and it's the best sport I've ever done, I love everyminute of it! John, Pat and all of the coaches have created such a family vibe there! It's brilliant for all ages and all experience levels...
Fantastic experience: Started here over 2 years ago. Club is really well run, feels like a second family with the atmosphere in the gym. Facilities are fantastic and there's always loads of classes on to fit into my busy schedule
Negative experience: They took 60€ from my credit card even if I cancelled my membership a month before. I texted them in order to solve the problem and they did not even answer. This is absurd and it never happened to me in any other gym. Good boxing trainer, but the staff of the gym is the worst, so unprofessional.
Hi Melissa,
That's not what happened, fully discussed with you at the time.
Confusion on your end arose as you were using the bank account of the lady of the house you were staying with here in Ireland to pay your fees, not your own.
Fees were due for your last month of training, and confusion about what date payment was on, or about what period of time it was for, is something you need to co-ordinate with account holder. Obviously such a set up will cause friction between you and account holder, please resolve it amongst yourselves, everything is good on our end and we would rather not be a part of this.
We gave you a 50% discount on training fees during your time with us to try and help encourage yourself and other women to learn martial arts, and benefit from them. We hope you appreciate same and have kept up training upon your return home.
All the best
Fantastic experience: Best martial arts gym that I've ever seen!!!! The staff are just awesome and the coaches are very helpful and friendly.
Negative experience: Repeated overcharging on debit card numerous call and texts without resolution or return calls as promised. I hope the know more about martial arts than customer service. Steer clear.

I was given a very warm welcome into the gym by John and Patrick Sheridan who are two absolute gentlemen. They are two very talented martial artists and you can see this by the amount of gold medals on the wall. The bjj class they gave me was unforgettable and I was addicted straight away.

The classes are extremely enjoyable and every class I feel I am improvimg greatly. Great job guys.

The coach and club members were friendly and very welcoming. Despite my lack of knowledge in the martial art of Brazilian Ju Jitsu I was taught many techniques on my first free trial. In general, Satori BJJ is an amzing club to take into consideration when looking for a BJJ club to join. Very affordable with great experiences and benefits.
