BJJ Membership
in Cork

One membership covers everything on the timetable — gi, NoGi, wrestling and Saturday open mat. Train once a week or every day, it’s the same.

We don’t publish a single price because we don’t charge a single price. Tell us your situation and we’ll sort something that works.

Kids

Mini & Little Grapplers

Kids membership covers both sessions of your child’s class, and we recommend they attend both — consistency is what keeps a contact sport safe, and spaces are limited.

Children are allocated to a class by age, size and ability, so ring Yvonne on 085 123 4539 before the first session. Coached by a university-educated team, all Garda vetted and fully insured.

More than one child in the family, or a parent training too? Say so when you apply and we’ll take it into account.

How much does BJJ cost in Cork?

Most Cork gyms will tell you a number and leave it at that. We’d rather have the conversation, because the right number genuinely isn’t the same for everyone who walks in here.

Adults: train your first class free, decide whether the room is for you, then talk to Ben. For kids, ring Yvonne first and she’ll sort the class and the membership together. Nobody gets pushed into signing anything on day one.

Why isn't there a price on this page?

Because there isn’t one price. Students, families with more than one child on the mat, people between jobs, people training six days a week — all of them end up somewhere different. Publishing one number would mean turning some of those people away before they ever walked in, and that isn’t how this club was set up.

Is it going to be expensive?

No. We’re a small independent club in a unit the coaches built themselves — there’s no franchise fee and no chain overhead in the price. If cost is the thing stopping you, say so when you get in touch.

How do I apply?

Come to a class first. Train, meet the room, see if it suits you. Then talk to Ben — in person after a session, or by phone or email — and he’ll sort the membership out with you directly.

Am I signing a contract?

No. There’s no lock-in and no minimum term — you pay month by month and stop whenever you need to. Life happens, and nobody should be tied into paying for mats they can’t get to.

What about the kids classes?

Same approach, with one difference: kids don’t drop in. Ring Yvonne on 085 123 4539 first and she’ll work out which class suits your child by age, size and ability, and whether there’s a space in it. Membership covers both sessions of that class, and we recommend they attend both. Families with more than one child, or a parent training as well, should mention it — it makes a difference.

Come train. Then we talk.
