Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
in Paphos

"Look no further than the International Jiujitsu School in Paphos. My daughters train competitively and wanted to train while on holiday — Roman responded quickly, and we were welcomed with open arms. The coaches are 1st class. Vitaly, the head coach, is outstanding. The gym is state of the art and spotlessly clean. A credit to the world of Jiujitsu."

"Fantastic Jiu-Jitsu academy, tight-knit community in Cyprus. Great experienced instructors, great programs for experienced and beginners; adults and kids. The kids program particularly is world class. Thanks for having me roll there 🙏"

"I've visited a lot of Jiu-Jitsu gyms around the world. This place is just amazing — super family and kids welcoming. Very clean, big mat space, and most importantly, great people to train with. Highly recommend."

"One of the best facilities I have ever trained in. The mats are always clean and sterilised, as well as the change rooms. Not many gyms have a black belt — this one has TWO! They follow a structured curriculum and teach with purpose. Very happy training at IJS."

"Awesome place for training! IJS really impresses with its clean gym and super friendly vibe — everyone feels welcome, no matter age, skill level or country. Vitaly is a competent black belt and a really good teacher. Sessions are safe and supportive yet intense and engaging."

"My 2 sons go here. They really enjoy everything about it. Coaches are great, sessions are great. Feels like 1 big family. Would recommend."

"Our 5-year-old daughter recently started jiu-jitsu — she absolutely loves it and looks forward to every session. The atmosphere is friendly and inspiring, and the coaches work wonderfully with kids. Jiu-jitsu has already become her favorite sport."

"The best jiu-jitsu school in Paphos! Here your child will be taught the basics of jiu-jitsu, discipline, and a love of sport. Our trainer Artemy is the best!"

"'Taking you more personally' describes my child's experience best. The focus is on every child — providing guidance, support, boosting confidence, and having their back. It feels like family. If you're looking for a multinational and healthy community, it's the right place."

"My 4-year-old boy had such an amazing time! He already loves the session. We definitely recommend it 💪🏼"

"Went on holiday and looked around for a BJJ club — discovered IJS. We are simply thrilled with everything. The concept fits, the atmosphere is great, and IJS has two black belts in the team. We received a very warm welcome."

"Called in on the Saturday open mat session whilst on holiday — yes, I took my Gi! Received a great warm welcome from everyone, had a good session, plenty of rounds. Dallas was a great coach and it was a pleasure to be on his mat. Would definitely recommend."

"Excellent gym and trainers. I joined the morning BJJ class as a beginner and got a lot out of it. Highly recommended for all levels."

"Great coaches, very serious and professional. Amazing connection with children. My kid finally found his sport, where he learns the physical part and the mental part of training."

"5 stars because the school is the best! In 1 year I improved a lot because of my coach. I hope this school expands more and more and gets more students!"

"We have two of our boys at IJS and we really appreciate the commitment and competence of the coaches, as well as their absolutely encouraging interactions with the kids. We love to see our boys thrive under their supervision. Thanks IJS Team!"

"Great BJJ club with a unique atmosphere. I've tried a lot of places around Paphos, but nothing comes close to IJS. Super tatami, air conditioning, changing rooms — everything you expect. From me, the full 5 stars!"

"I'm on holidays and thought I'd come for a train. Welcomed very warmly by everyone — everything is structured and organised, and the facilities are awesome, even with a sauna. Professor Vitalli is amazing, very knowledgeable. Fantastic atmosphere with an international vibe. I'll come again."
