More than a place to train.
At CorDees, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is about more than learning techniques. It’s about feeling that you belong, being challenged, building confidence and discovering what you’re capable of. We combine high standards with genuine care to create a place where children, teenagers and adults can feel safe, welcomed and supported as they learn and grow.
Every journey begins somewhere. Maybe you’re looking for something that will help your child grow in confidence, find their courage and discover what they’re capable of. Or perhaps you’re thinking about stepping onto the mats yourself. Whatever brings you to CorDees, you don’t need to know anything about BJJ before you begin. You just need a place where you’ll feel welcomed, supported and cared for from the very first step.

Helping You Discover
How Great You Can Be
Greatness means something different to everyone. It might be finding the courage to face something that once frightened you, the confidence to make new friends, learning to protect yourself, earning the respect of your peers, competing and winning, or simply beginning to believe in yourself more than you did before. Whatever greatness means to you, we’ll be there to guide, challenge and support you as you discover just how much you’re capable of.
Greatness is already within you. CorDees will help you discover it.
Created With You in Mind
Before you even walk through our golden doors, we've already thought about you. Every detail of CorDees has been carefully designed to create a place where you can feel safe, comfortable, welcomed and cared for — a place where you, your friends and your family can truly feel at home.
Comfort and Protection From the Ground Up
Three layers beneath your feet provide exceptional cushioning and protection, creating a softer, more comfortable surface for every class.

Cleanliness is part of how we care for you. From our mats and floors to our changing rooms, toilets, seating and shared spaces, every part of CorDees is cleaned and cared for meticulously — creating an environment that always feels fresh, hygienic and welcoming.
DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE HOME
We want CorDees to be somewhere you look forward to coming to — and somewhere you never feel in a hurry to leave. From original artwork and personal touches to comfortable spaces where you can relax, every detail brings warmth and personality to CorDees, creating a place that may become your second home.
AN ATMOSPHERE THAT DRAWS YOU IN
There’s a positive energy at CorDees that comes from the people who fill it — the friendliness, laughter, encouragement and camaraderie. Natural light, fresh air and a comfortable temperature add to that feeling, creating an atmosphere you’ll look forward to being part of.
THE HEART BEHIND CORDEES
CorDees began with a father wanting something very simple for his sons: a place where they would be safe, cared for and positively guided as they grew. From that came a bigger vision — a place where everyone is treated with equal respect, people look out for one another, children can laugh and grow together, and differences in race, religion, nationality, gender or background never stand between us. A place where we can simply be human beings together — training, learning, supporting one another and being free to be happy. That vision became CorDees.
And at the heart of it is its founder and head coach, Professor Corey Donoghue.
Professor Corey Donoghue
Founder & Head Coach
Above all else, Corey is a father and a family man. He believes deeply in the importance of family, respect and positive human connection — values that have become the foundations of CorDees. As a parent himself, he understands what it means to place your child in someone else’s care, the trust that requires, and the responsibility that comes with it. For more than 25 years, Corey has taught, coached and mentored children through sport and martial arts, helping hundreds of young people grow in confidence, character and self-belief. His experience includes many years as a Safeguarding Children Regional Lead Tutor and Tutor Developer for the English FA. An IBJJF-certified 3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt and former World #1 ranked competitor, Corey is also a Jeet Kune Do Black Belt under renowned martial artist Guru Bob Breen. He brings a lifetime of coaching, competition and martial arts experience to CorDees — but above all, he never forgets the responsibility entrusted to him by every parent and every family who walks through its doors.

“What impressed me the most was Professor Corey Donoghue’s personal approach and attention to details. Not only in technique, but also in personal and mental aspects. Training at CorDees didn’t just improve my physical condition. It also reprogrammed me in the best way possible, made me calmer, more aware, and more balanced in my daily life.”
