About our Centre
The Dojo is located on the outskirts of Ballymena with easy access from all over the province and ample lighting and parking it is dedicated to the development of every student who comes through the door.
It is a unique purpose-built centre with the teaching of top quality Martial arts in mind. We have a one of the largest Martial arts matted areas in the province which can be broken down into smaller areas for private classes and courses; we have a mezzanine level which includes a kata area, stretching area and a weights area.
We also have a social area for students that it is hoped to develop over time into a coffee bar. The centre intends to have social nights for the students and continue the successful summer camps started by Ballymena Ju Jitsu club.
