    Started the beginners course 4 weeks ago down in Primal BJJ, and in just 4 weeks we have gotten to learn countless positions, submissions etc... Ben and co, are very patient and tentive to technique always helping and making sure everyone is on even keel before the class progresses forward and there's no such thing as a silly question if you get stuck. There's various programs available in Primal BJJ making it very accessible to all ages from Kids to adults looking to have a new outlet in life, to highly experienced individuals looking for a new gym to continue training. Couldn't recommend more!!!

    Great gym for anyone looking to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the first time. Just finished the most recent beginners block and couldn't rate the standard of coaching and training any higher. A thoroughly inclusive training environment where anyone can train and progress regardless of current level of fitness. The gym has an incredibly friendly atmosphere, I was at first nervous before joining but soon discovered that I had absolutely nothing to fear given the professionalism of the staff at Primal and could just focus on enjoying my training. The gym itself is a great facility with the utmost care taken in cleanliness. I can't recommend Primal enough! 5/5!

    Primal Brazilian jujitsu is a great place for beginners to learn the art of jujitsu. We received a wonderful welcome from Ben and my teenagers really enjoy the classes. The instruction is very clear and Ben is so enthusiastic about getting children engaged in sport.

    Primal BJJ has been brilliant from the moment I walked in the door for their Beginners Course. Everyone is welcoming and makes you feel part of the team straight away. Coach Ben is superb. He breaks down every technique in a clear and precise way which is super helpful. In just 5 weeks I have learned so much and I can’t wait to keep progressing overtime. I would recommend anyone to start BJJ in Primal as it’s a friendly and encouraging environment.

    I joined Primal for the 8 week beginner course. Being 37 years old i was a bit apprehensive of what sort of age, or group a beginners class would be. Would i be too old or feel odd trying jiujitsu at my age. I needn't worry at all, it was a mix of all ages and skill levels, where everyone was friendly and welcoming, everyone is just their to learn no ego's involved . Primal is a great facility, Ben and the other instructors are friendly, professional and Knowledgeable and their passion for Jiu-jitsu shines through. They provide an excellent detailed level of instruction breaking down all the moves so anyone can understand them. I believe that everyone should try Jiu-jitsu even if it is just a beginners course like i did. It is a fun way to keep fit burning 100s of Calories every session, its very humbling and even knowing a little bit is great for confidence and self defence. So if you are thinking of joining a Jiu-jitsu club and want one which has a great community feel, excellent instruction, look no further sign up today you won't regret it!

    Primal BJJ is the place you need to train at if you live in & around Drogheda! They are focused on creating a fun, friendly & welcoming environment for everybody. They cater for men, women & children of all ages. They have students that train for fun, and students that train to compete in big competitions! Head Coach Ben is full of passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and just loves what he does. He know's how to breakdown moves in a way that is both simple to understand and easy to remember. I can't recommend Ben & Primal BJJ enough! 5 Stars!

    I started few months ago and It's very beginner friendly. The timetable is a very convenient where I manage to attend a lot of classes each week as i am working and have a kid. All the coaches are very friendly and helpful as well. Be careful it's very addictive.

    This is brilliant. My 2 sons joined about 3 months ago and absolutely love it. Ben, Josh and Jacob are very patient and informative while making it fun. The lads are buzzing on a Monday and Wednesday morning, knowing they are going to Jujitsu that evening. All very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend Primal Brazilian Jujitsu.

    I recently completed a 6-week beginners course in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at a club run by Head Coach Ben, with the invaluable assistance of Instructors Josh and Jakob. I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From day one, it was evident that the club prioritized teaching and fostering a welcoming environment for newcomers. The curriculum for this introductory course was well-structured, systematically covering the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This was ideal for someone like me who had limited prior experience in martial arts. The true standout aspect of this course was the expertise and dedication of the coaching team. Head Coach Ben brought a wealth of experience and deep knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu to every session. His instruction was clear, patient, and tailored to the needs of beginners. Ben was not just a coach but a mentor, always willing to offer personal guidance and encouragement. Instructors Josh and Jakob were equally impressive. They were extremely approachable and always willing to provide one-on-one assistance, ensuring that everyone grasped the techniques being taught. Their enthusiasm for the sport was contagious, and it made each session enjoyable and motivating. Throughout the 6 weeks, I witnessed significant progress in my understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, thanks to the guidance and expertise of this coaching team. I felt more confident in my skills and more inspired to continue my Jiu-Jitsu journey.

    Joining the beginner’s class was a fantastic experience the instructors are excellent and it’s a very friendly a welcoming environment. Each class is a great workout, as you get to try the out moves that have been practiced at the start of the class which is such a great way to learn. I would highly recommend anyone to give this a try. I really want to continue learning about this amazing style of martial arts. Thanks Ben & the rest of the team

    10/10 experience. First experience was in the beginners class. I had never previously done jiu jitsu and having the option of a beginner class was exactly what I needed. Multiple instructors were present to guide me through the session and fix mistakes I was making. The classes we are not overly packed which ensured each coach had amble time with the student to work together. I am so happy with the progress I’ve made I’ve continued on training and participate in both the beginners class and mixed level class also. Great for anyone interested in starting out!

    I did the 6 week beginners course in primal bjj and in just that time I learned so much, all the coaches are excellent and show you every possible detail in each position you drill. There's a format for each class that is not only fun but gives the classes structure allowing you to learn in a unique and effective way. I have since bought a membership and can definitely say I will be renewing it for many years to come

    I started going to bjj a few months ago and I'm really happy that I did. The experience has been great, and nobody judges you when you start and they help you out when your stuck. It's a great place to make friends. Overall it's a great thing to start doing no matter the age.

    Great place to train. The coaches are encouraging and patient. As a lad in his mid 30s, I'm getting on a bit so I was worried about getting back into martial arts but the beginners course was a great way to build some confidence and get started again. Would highly recommend the club.

  • 5/5 nicky c. 6 months ago on Google
    Joining this club was an incredible decision. Plenty of patient, kind, and talented people to be met. No matter your age or experience this club has something to offer. I have been taking the beginners class and have partaken in a few mixed level classes and it has been an absolutely amazing experience. 10/10
