We have 3 more holiday sessions these school holidays and they are open to all kids not just members. Only $25 for a 3.5 hr self defence session.

REBOOT YOUR NARRATIVE!!

Drop Bear BJJ is now offering a new "Intro to BJJ" class. This class is for the complete beginner and designed to accelerate your acquisition of the most important BJJ skills in the fastest possible time.

SUMMER IS COMING but that same old gym membership most likely won't be the way to reach your fitness goals. Boredom is the reason those gym memberships don't last. Boredom kills motivation every time!

It’s time to trade the monotonous gym grind for a real life superpower: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Build real confidence and skills protect your family anywhere and any time. Lose weight, build functional strength, and be the example for your loved ones.

What to expect at Drop Bear BJJ:

Everyday People, Not Hardcore Competitors: The majority of our members aren't looking for medals. They are locals who want to keep fit, be part of a supportive community, and leave work stress on the mats. That's not to say some of our most unassuming members aren't actually the most capable martial artists in the Lockyer Valley!

A Real Local Community: You aren't training alone. You’re joining a tight-knit, welcoming team who keep each other safe at training and support each other.

Our classes are never boring, the good vibes and friendly banter will keep you motivated.

Lead from the front and set the standard for your household.

We've recently been lucky to have picked up some new students from the local international visitors working and studying in the area. These guys have been a great addition to the club and have already contributed lots of humour and good vibes to our Academy. Welcome Otmane (France), Bob (Chinese Rambo), Jensen (Singapore) and the big joker PJ (Korea😂)!

Slight change to Thursday nights. Instead of the leglocks class there is a 6-8pm gi and no gi session where you can work through issues with the coach and drill/troubleshoot new techniques you want to try. This is open to everyone and is a great way to accelerate your skills. You can also get some extra rolling rounds in during this time. All levels are welcome to attend:

Drop Bear BJJ offers grappling martial arts for the Ipswich, Lockyer Valley and Somerset regions.
