Great teams start with average people.

It's the attitude of the people that makes the team great.

You could also say that rising tides lift all ships.

From an outsider's perspective, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu may look like an individual martial art or sport. But, without a team to work with, get better with, and endure grit with, you will not excel.

Training with the premier Jiu Jitsu Academy in the region is as easy as messaging us.

For only $276.77, our two-class introductory offer is a great way to experience what this martial art has to offer.

Today might be hard, but tomorrow gets.....

You get to make the choice to answer this question.

The water or the coke, the donut or the apple. To make tomorrow harder or easier than yesterday.

See you at training!

Congratulations, Scarlet, on receiving your new yellow/white belt.

Scarlett came up from the P*e Wees at the start of the year into the Juniors, and it was like a duck taking to water.

Scarlet has shown dedication to her training and her teammates, and demonstrated the qualities required to be promoted from grey belt to yellow/white.

Well done Scarlet!

It was fantastic to have Dino and Ian come by on Friday evening and join us for an open mat and share their knowledge and experience with the team.
It was also great to see so many from our Seniors and Teens take this advantage to upskill.
Open mats are training sessions where the athlete can focus on themselves, work on their specific game, but more importantly ask questions.
The post training dinner was just as great with everyone having a great laugh sharing stories.

This past Saturday, saw the athletes of our Juniors squad compete in the third round of the Juniors Champions Cup.

The theme for this cup was to have fun. When we have fun, we remove any pressure or expectation, and it is then that we get to see the level rise in the athletes.

For some athletes, just the thought of competing can be very stressful. But as we know, the more you do something, the more CONFIDENT you become!

For this round, the Burger Urge award went to the most tenacious athlete and the best takedown of the mat.

The most tenacious went to Myles and Rex, whilst the takedowns went to Henry and Angus.

We also awarded four white belts their Yellow/White belts. These were awarded to: Reid, Mustafa, Jett, Ashton and Rex.

Congratulations to all who attended; you should be very proud of your performances.
