JIU-JITSU / BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic martial art built on technique, leverage, and strategy. Evolving from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, it was developed in Brazil to create one of the most effective self-defense systems in the world.
Known as the “gentle art,” BJJ teaches you how to control and submit opponents without relying on size or strength. It’s a powerful way to improve fitness, sharpen the mind, and build confidence—while being part of a supportive and motivating community.
WHY SHANNON JIU-JITSU?
Jiu Jitsu is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world—and in Ireland.
Shannon has been a home for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 10 years, producing many Irish champions along with European and World medalists. But what we’re most proud of is helping everyday people become better, more confident versions of themselves through the training process.
With experienced coaches and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, you’ll learn practical self-defence, improve your fitness, and strengthen both your mind and body.
