Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
No-gi grappling for adults and kids: control, escapes and submissions, taught from the fundamentals.
The discipline
What BJJ involves
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art. Instead of striking, you learn to control a training partner on the ground — holding good positions, escaping bad ones, and finishing with a choke or joint lock once you have control.
Our adult classes are no-gi, so you train in shorts and a rashguard rather than a traditional uniform. Leverage and position matter more than size, which is why BJJ works for people of every build.
Who the class suits
- Complete beginners — the adult class runs as All Levels
- People who want self-defence skills without striking
- Anyone who enjoys problem-solving under pressure
- Wrestling and MMA members who want a stronger ground game

What to expect as a beginner
A typical first class runs like this. If anything needs adjusting for you, tell the coach before you start.
- 01
A warm-up built on grappling movement — bridging, hip escapes, rolling.
- 02
The technique of the day, demonstrated and broken into steps.
- 03
Drilling it with a partner at your own pace.
- 04
Positional rounds to finish. Sitting these out on day one is fine.
What to wear and bring
- Shorts without zips or pockets, and a rashguard or fitted t-shirt
- No gi needed — adult classes are no-gi
- A water bottle
- Short nails and no jewellery, for your partner's safety

Questions
BJJ questions
Something else on your mind? Call 0468 253 270 — we’d rather answer a question than have you not turn up.
Will I have to spar on my first day?
No. Positional rounds come at the end of class and sitting them out on your first visit is completely normal.
I've never grappled. Can I join the All Levels class?
Yes. It is built to run with complete beginners in it, and you'll be paired with someone who can help you follow along.
