About Us
Skerries Martial Arts or Republic of Jiu-Jitsu, Skerries, first opened our doors in 2018, running classes out of the back of a local gym in Rush, NC Fitness. 5 years later and we have just recently opened up our own gym in the heart of Skerries, right across from the secondary school. With classes suitable for everyone; from complete beginners to advanced grapplers, we have sessions running all throughout the week. The school is run by Kurt Nugent, a black belt under the head of Republic of Jiu-jitsu association- Abnel Filho, a 3rd degree black as well as a good friend and mentor.

Why Choose Us?
Would you believe, most people tend to want to do things they actually enjoy doing, martial arts are no different.
We feel your Jiu-jitsu and your training in general should always be fun, you should leave class feeling better than when you arrived, maybe a bit stiffer in fairness, but definitely better.
We try our absolute best to provide a fun, friendly and safe environment to help make this possible.
The hardest part of anyone’s journey, is literally walking in the front door for the first time. So don’t be afraid to contact us or pop the head in to say hello or even just asking question, anything at all we can do to make that first step easier, we’re happy to help.
We love being able to share our Jiu-Jitsu with everybody and make sure everyone has a good time and gets some exercise in, but if for some reason we’re not for you, we can help you find other places to train and recommend other clubs that might suit your needs better.
Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic martial art and the more people doing it the better
"Have fun, train hard, be respectful"
