“When I was looking to take up Jiu-Jitsu I wanted it all, great facilities, great teammates and most of all an instructor that genuinely cared about the development of his students. Thankfully I found all of that in ECJJA and haven’t looked back since!”
David Phelan
Recruitment Consultant
“For a person who has never played a sport before, I really feel that with ECJJA I’ve found the right activity and place to do it in. BJJ is a perfect balance as it stimulates you physically and mentally, but also simultaneously provides a social outlet. At ECJJA I’ve always felt that both my coaches and teammates want to see me succeed and thus are constantly helping and pushing me.”
Ríoghnach O' Leary
Psychologist
“I was lucky enough to choose East Coast Jiu Jitsu Academy to train in when I started BJJ. It has become a driving force in my life, giving me the initiative to achieve and improve. The sport itself is addictive but the atmosphere in the gym and the training partners are what make us a team. Darragh constantly looks to improve himself and his team, always teaching new techniques and keeping a strong focus on self improvement for every individual!”
