New Gymnastics Term and Full Schedule Back from 31 August

Summer's over and we're back to full swing. From Monday 31 August, Studio Galera in Bandon, West Cork returns to its full class schedule. If you've been thinking about getting yourself or your kids started in gymnastics or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), there's no better time to come try a class.

Studio Galera is a gymnastics and BJJ training facility right here in Bandon, West Cork, and everything we run is beginner friendly. Nobody walks in already knowing how to do a cartwheel or a triangle choke. You start where you are, and our coaches take it from there.

New Gymnastics Term

A brand new 4-week gymnastics term kicks off on Monday 31 August. Gymnastics builds strength, flexibility, coordination and confidence, and it's a brilliant foundation for kids no matter what other sports they play. All our usual classes are running across the age groups, so if your child has been asking about getting back on the mats and the beam, now's the time.

BJJ Kids (4-6 Years) Returns

Our youngest BJJ group, ages 4 to 6, is back that week too, with the first class on Tuesday 1 September. BJJ is a grappling martial art built around technique and leverage rather than strength, which makes it a great fit for young kids. This class is a gentle, fun introduction, building coordination, confidence, and discipline in a structured environment, with no contact sparring at this age.

All Other Classes Continue As Normal

Every other class on the schedule, from BJJ Teenagers to adult BJJ and everything in between, continues as normal from 31 August. Check the full schedule for exact days and times, and see our programs page for a full breakdown of what each class involves and who it's for.

New to BJJ? Start With Our No-Gi Beginners Course

If you're an adult who's never trained BJJ before and isn't sure where to start, our next No-Gi Beginners Course is the easiest way in. It starts Tuesday 15 September, running Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8pm-9pm, for 4 weeks. No-Gi means you train in a rashguard and shorts rather than the traditional gi (uniform), and all gear is included in the price, so all you need to bring is yourself.

The course is designed specifically for complete beginners, so you'll be learning alongside other people who are just starting out too. No experience, fitness level, or flexibility required.
