Rayan and Shane both won Gi and No-Gi, with Rayan finishing every fight by submission. Esdra also entered the Gi open class and came out the winner.

Jiu-Jitsu beginners course is starting this evening. Gear included, we have some spots available. Sign up here https://studiogalera.com/beginners-course

Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but not sure where to begin?

No-Gi BJJ is a style of training without the traditional Gi (uniform). Instead, you’ll train in a rash guard and shorts, focusing on movement, control and practical techniques. It’s simple, accessible and a great place to start as a beginner.

We’ve got a 4-week Beginner No-Gi BJJ Course starting Tuesday 26 May, designed specifically for complete beginners. No experience needed.

✔ 8 structured classes
✔ Step-by-step fundamentals
✔ Beginner-friendly environment

Classes run Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8pm.

The full course is €100, and that includes your rash guard and shorts, so you’re ready to go from your first class.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is the easiest way to get into it.

Huge congratulations to our team for a big weekend on the mats!

We had three members representing the gym at the Irish Open, while our head coach and his two kids competed at the AJP Tour in Alicante. It takes a lot of guts to step up and compete, and we’re proud of the hard work and dedication everyone showed in both events.

Well done to all of you! 👏

Kids today have a lot competing for their attention. Screens, games, endless content. It’s everywhere, and it’s not going away.

Getting a child to commit to something physical, to show up week after week and work for something they can earn. That’s not easy. But when it clicks, it’s something special to watch.

Doesn’t have to be jiu-jitsu. Could be any sport. Just get them moving, get them working towards something. The confidence that comes with it is incredible.

Every one of these kids showed up week after week, trained hard, and earned their new stripe or belt. Fair play to them. They deserve it.
