Ju jitsu clubs?

petals

Does anyone know of any ju jitsu clubs around the Dublin/Kildare area?

You could try and train with John Kavanagh who teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Vale Tudo (as well as providing Muay Thai and Wrestling instructors) in Harolds Cross.

Otherwise Id try Colm O'Reilly. He posts here and has a website www.twokingsmma.net

Colm is probably the best instructor ive ever trained with. Well worth a visit.

No built up plenty of callousing on my knees from years of pointless Japanese Traditional Martial Arts rituals, asslicking not included, encouraged by people that think you have to emulate japanese masters to be credible (see Aikido, Karate, traditional Jiu Jitsu etc.)

Training with Colm I learnt more in my first 2 months than I did in my first 2 years of TMAs. He listens to criticisms (and adjusts his teaching accordingly) and always answers questions honestly (if he doesnt know he doesnt know). Ive never known many MA instructors to be like that. If you have an issue with something Colm teaches he'll make sure your satisfied with his reasoning rather than some BS "Cause Im the Sensei" dismissal.

Considering the amount of abuse I throw at Riley off the mat, its unlikely that Id be
licking his ass.

Petals,

There's a map on www.twokingsmma.net with directions and different buses to get out to SBG Tallaght.

any ju jitsu clubs in waterford?
I read an article in the local paper a while back advertising a ju jitsu demonstrations/promotion here, but not sure if it was in conjunction with a local club.

For clubs in Waterford email: aikidoucd@yahoo.co.uk!

Ciaran Brennan, the UCD Aikido Club captain, has been training traditional JJ in waterford for years and will put you in touch with someone. Tell him Colum sent you and hope he wont hold it against you!!

if it's any help there's jujitsu in maynooth, it used to be on a monday night for two hours in the college, not sure if the times have changed but you could probably find out by ringing the college

Petals is already a member of the ju-jitsu club out in Maynooth. She may just be looking for some extra sessions.

Yup that's the idea. The more practice the better I get right? And I am going to get good at this

I used to train in bjj in Kildare with Mick Aldridge, but he trains in Newbridge and Athy, so it might be a little bit out of the way

Hi there,

There are classes in Drumcondra for Ju-Jitsu. They are:

Tuesday 6-8 and 8-10,
Thursday 8-10,
Saturday 2-4.

The club can be a bit hard to find, but feel free to pop down - I came from the Maynooth Ji-Jitsu club as well!

First off you came from maynooth as well--who are you?

And thanks for those times much appreciated.
Is it the dojo on those maps that were posted up already.

OCF

Yep - same Dojo. It has been awhile since I trained out in Maynooth, nearly three years! Once I graduated I started training in Drumcondra. I train in Judo (not so much these days) out in Maynooth from time to time also.

Pop down on Sat if ya get a chance and see what you think. The more the merrier!

I've been away but I'll go in asap

Any chance of an address / directions / map to the Drumcondra dojo? I used to go there ( a couple of years ago) but I know someone wanting to take up ju jitsu over here, and that one would be great from him (he's living in the city center).

Saturday isn't good. Can beginners go on Tuesday and Thursday?
Also when would be the best time to start?
