I’ve been a member of Icon Belfast for the past 2 and a half years. I trained Jiu Jitsu for several years when I was younger and after a 10 year break from the sport I decided I wanted to start training again. I researched many of the clubs around Belfast and after chatting with Dave, I knew this was where I wanted to train. There are no egos at the gym, everyone is super friendly and it’s just a lot of fun to train there. As someone in my 40s, I now feel fitter than I’ve ever been and have far surpassed the level of Jiu Jitsu I was at when I was younger. I couldn’t recommend the club enough to absolute beginners or those at a more experienced level.
I cant recommend the gym enough! If you are considering starting Jiu Jitsu, no matter what age/fitness level/skill level you are, just reach out to Dave! It may be the best thing you will ever do for yourself.
I have been a member of Icon Jiu Jitsu Belfast for several months now after plucking up the courage to start my journey in BJJ. The environment is great, everyone is very supportive and friendly.

I’ve been training at forge for around 8 weeks now, at first I was very apprehensive and nervous but the atmosphere and culture within the gym is extremely welcoming for anyone starting out in BJJ and the members are extremely friendly. Mike’s teaching methods and reinforcement of the fundamentals are top notch on top of this he is extremely generous with his time and willing to answer any questions that will arise.
My son recently started the kids classes here and loves it! Mike is very knowledgeable and very understanding that kids will be kids so If they don’t want to participate in any part they can still sit and watch and learn the theory. He makes things fun with fun warm ups and fun cool down sessions too! The kids are picking up the moves so quick and it’s great to see such excellent progress in such a short space of time.
I’ve been a member here for around a year. Mike is extremely passionate about grappling and puts a lot into running the gym. The range of classes available is vast, and well worth the money. Can’t recommend this gym enough.
