Lakeland Jiu Jitsu traces its roots back to Mullingar Grappling, the club that first introduced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Mullingar in 2008. Founded by students of Coach John Kavanagh’s legendary SBG Shed era, the club grew through years of dedicated training, competition and strong community ties.

Today, the club is led by Coach Tyrone Quinn alongside David Hynes, Nuno De Gouveia and Lyndon Quinn. After beginning their journey with Mullingar Grappling in 2009, Tyrone and the team helped build the club through its early “Fight Club” years, its successful period as SBG Mullingar, and its eventual relaunch as Lakeland Jiu Jitsu in 2019.

Since then, the team has continued to thrive in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA competition. Tyrone Quinn has represented Ireland internationally, while athletes such as David Zamora have built outstanding competitive records.

Lakeland Jiu Jitsu now provides training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and modern combat sports for all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to active competitors.
