The McGovern Academy is a small gym that provides its members with training in the fighting arts of Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the only art we teach as an open class at this time. These classes are offered twice a week and are open to anyone. Jeet Kune Do classes are taught in private classes and entry is by way of invitation only. The gym is a result of many years of training in the fighting arts and of years of knowledge gained through pure, hard work. We believe in keeping a close “family” feel to the gym and, due to the size of the school, numbers are kept low and entry in to all classes is by way of invitation or by way of private one-to-one tuition. There is no secret to achieving skill in the fighting arts, just genuine, hard work and repetition. At the McGovern Academy we believe in the "old-school" approach to training. Focus pads, shields, boxing gloves, heavy bags, Olympic weights, Kettle bells, tires and kegs. If it will make you sweat; develops attributes that relate to our movements; and makes you fitter, faster and stronger, we will use it. You wont find us at the bar of the local health club. You will find us on the pads, on the mats, at the weight stacks and in our own garages and backyards. This is where true athletes, fighters and warriors are made. If you wish to train in one of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes or you wish to train with Simon McGovern in Jeet Kune Do, then please contact us and we will be happy to discuss anything further.
