Welcome to BJJ Directory Dublin – Connecting the Jiu-Jitsu Community
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has exploded in popularity across Dublin over the past decade. With more gyms, clubs, and open mats popping up every year, it can be hard for newcomers – and even long-time practitioners – to know where to train, who’s teaching, or what options are available. That’s where I come in.
I’m the founder of BJJ Directory Dublin. I created this platform with a simple goal: to make it easier for people to find Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Dublin, whether you’re a total beginner looking to try your first class or a seasoned grappler visiting the city and searching for an open mat.
Why I Started This Directory
Like many of you, I fell in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because of the community, the constant learning, and the sense of growth it gives both on and off the mats. But when I started out, I found it difficult to get clear information about where to train. Some gyms had limited websites, others only advertised through social media, and unless you knew someone already in the scene, it was easy to feel lost.
I realized that what Dublin’s BJJ scene was missing was a central hub – a one-stop place to see all the academies, instructors, schedules, and events. Instead of digging through scattered Facebook pages or outdated posts, you can now come here and find exactly what you’re looking for.
What You’ll Find Here
BJJ Directory Dublin is built to serve everyone who loves Jiu-Jitsu:

Building the Community
For me, this directory isn’t just about information – it’s about connection. Dublin has an incredible BJJ scene, full of passionate coaches and practitioners from all walks of life. By creating a space that showcases every gym and highlights what makes each one unique, I hope to strengthen the bonds within our community.
I’ll also be using this blog to share stories from local academies, highlight upcoming events, and feature interviews with Dublin’s BJJ coaches and athletes. The idea is to celebrate the people behind the sport and give everyone a platform to be seen.
