Celestial Jiu-Jitsu Academy opened its doors in early 2020 in Portobello and has since relocated to new premises in the IFSC, Dublin City Centre. We have classes suitable to everyone from a complete beginner to an experienced grappler.
The school is run by Ryan Thompson, a 2nd degree black belt under Kurt Osiander, founder of Osiander BJJ in San Diego.
The core principle behind Celestial Jiu-Jitsu Academy can be expressed in one simple phrase: "Train hard and have fun!".
Here you can expect high-quality training, a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and mutual respect from everyone in the academy! Our doors are open to everyone - send us a message or pop over to the gym!
BJJ keeps you healthy by Increasing Flexibility, Strength, Endurance, Cardio and burn more calories than your traditional gym session.
Every time you step on the mat you are going to be challenged mentally, physically, and socially. That’s how BJJ helps you gain confidence, focus, and discipline.
BJJ is for everyone! Regardless of gender, age or fitness level.
