Ronin On gym Review 5: Checkmat Lisboa (Lisbon) 2
Gym Name: Checkmat Lisboa
Location: Av. Da Republica, Lisboa
Head Coach: Henrique Pereira
Mat Fee: First class free
Website: https://www.checkmateurope.com/academies/checkmat-lisboa

Review:
Still in Lisbon, from the BJJ Globetrotter Facebook group, this was another highly recommended gym to visit. Situated within a great looking fight and fitness gym (1 fight gym), it was an easy enough metro ride or bus ride to get to and from (I did both). Everyone was super welcoming and spoke enough English for there to be no issues in understanding….but when all else fails, just bump fists and roll, right?
As of this episode release, 1 Fight Gym is permanently closed….keep an eye out on my website post of Checkmat Lisboa to see if it pops up somewhere else. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Hey, thanks for being here! If you want a more flavourful review of this gym, full write-ups will be making their way up onto justshiggi.com
Since February 2024 I’ve been travelling around Europe visiting BJJ gyms first-hand so I can build a network of like-minded badasses, experience new countries, cultures and most importantly BJJ gyms, their coaches, students and communities. Whilst my travels are mostly funded by my freelancing work as an audio editor on podcasts and audiobooks, I’ve also been kept afloat by donations.
If you can, and are able to, helping out with a small donation always adds up and helps in keeping on The Path to more gyms and bringing all of that back home to Kenya. You can also check out a full post on how I got to this journey: https://buymeacoffee.com/just-shiggi
