Grappling University BJJ is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in south Dublin led by Lucas Garibaldi and Lee Furlong, both black belts trained in São Paulo under Marco Barbosa. The academy emphasizes a Constraint Led Approach (CLA), using problem-solving games and wrestling integration instead of passive drilling. Programmes cater to Little Grapplers (ages 4–7), Kids (ages 8–14), and Adults (ages 16+), with every programme starting free and no gear required. The academy hosts seminars with visiting instructors and supports members competing locally and nationally.
