   Since day 1 of starting at icon a few months ago; the moment you step into the gym the atmosphere is amazing. Couldn't be surrounded by more amazing people!! All the coaches are more than willing to help if you're ever stuck with anything on your journey. One of the best decisions I made was taking the first step and joining !! Head coach is an incredible instructor His knowledge of jiu jitsu is matched by his ability to explain techniques clearly and effectively. He takes the time to make sure everyone understands the details, and he’s always patient and encouraging. Whether you’re training for competition or just looking to improve your fitness and learn self defense its tailored teaching to help you reach your goals. The team culture here is second to none. Everyone helps each other improve, and the classes have a balance between hard training and having fun. The gym is always clean, well organized and full of positive energy

   I have been with Icon for 3 years now and I’ve really enjoyed it. The coaching is very high quality with excellent attention to detail, and Dave has built a community that is welcoming and friendly which always encourages me to make it to training. There are multiple classes everyday which provides plenty of opportunities to train whenever it suits your schedule and the facilities are amazing, the gym is kept very clean and there is plenty of space on the mats as well as a large changing room and private showers. I can’t recommend Icon enough!

   I have trained at Icon since February of this year and I can undoubtedly say that it is a fantastic gym with an incredible community atmosphere. Dave and the coaches offer a high level of support, attention and commitment to all students, and have helped me feel welcomed and supported from day one, regardless of my experience level. The coaching is top notch with with a strong focus on fundamentals and technical progression. Whether you’re an experienced grappler or a complete beginner, the instructors will take the time to tailor their guidance to your needs, displaying a wide array of knowledge and genuine passion for the sport. The training schedule is flexible and offers a variety of classes throughout the week, making it easy to fit into my schedule as a student. The gym offers a positive, ego-free environment where everyone can learn and improve together. If you’re looking for a gym with excellent coaches and a welcoming community, I can’t recommend Icon highly enough.

   Really enjoy training at Icon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the art. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere for all levels — from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Clean facility, great training partners, and a strong sense of community. Easily a 5-star experience only regret is not joining sooner.

   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’ve visited Icon on a number of occasions to train with my boyfriend and have always found the team to be warm and friendly! Dave is always helpful, welcoming and gives me tips and pointers to help me progress that day. The facility on the Boucher Road is excellent- a great matted area, male and female changing rooms and space to chill out after - I really enjoy rolling here.

   ICON is hands down the best Jiu Jitsu school in Northern Ireland. Before coming here, I done a beginners course in another gym in Belfast, and I never felt welcome or part of the group. But when I first stepped foot in the ICON gym, I was instantly made to feel welcome! After the initial induction meeting with Dave I felt confident that this would be my new gym. Any questions or concerns I had were accurately answered by Dave, and once I met the rest of the team, who were just as helpful and friendly as Dave, I knew I made the right choice coming here. Dave really has built a community of helpful and friendly people, from all walks of life but with the same goal in mind - to better themselves. Because of this shared goal, everyone is on hand to help each other, and it makes for a very exciting environment where people can thrive and challenge themselves. There are no big ego's in the group, which is what I love. Nobody is boastful, and they are all extremely supportive! The experienced members will talk you through the movements as you are doing them, which is fantastic. 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. Dave has always been excellent in his coaching and actually getting to know his students. Throughout the lockdown he has went out of his way through online classes and mindset workshops to keep everyone in shape and motivated. It has been a great decision for me to join Icon and if your anxious about taking the first step through the doors don’t be you won’t regret it.
