WHO ARE WE?
Mallow · Charleville · Kanturk
Train Hard, Fight Easy. Treino Duro, Luta Fácil.
Forming People is Building Champions.
Team Jr Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was brought to Cork by Coach Felipe Gadelha – a BJJ Black Belt and Judo Brown Belt who left Brazil to build something real in Ireland. What started in Mallow has grown into three clubs across North Cork, each one rooted in the same idea: that the mat is a place where people become better versions of themselves.
Under the guidance of Master Jonson Rodrigues, our coaches don’t just teach technique – they build character, discipline and a team that genuinely has each other’s backs, inside the gym and out.
Whether you’ve never trained a day in your life or you’re chasing your next medal, you’ll find your place here.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo for all ages and levels.
We run classes for kids and adults across all three locations – structured, safe, and built around real progress. Beginners are welcomed properly, and competitors are prepared seriously.
BJJ teaches you to stay calm under pressure, problem-solve in real time, and trust your training. Judo adds the tools to get the fight to the ground in the first place. Together, they make you a more complete and more confident person – on the mat and off it.
Classes for: Children (from age 5) · Adults · All belt levels Focus areas: Technique · Competition prep · Self-defence · Fitness · Team culture
