We are a Martial Arts Academy training BJJ with a strong focus on self defence and growing confidence in all our students.

In the end, we finished how we started. A group of friends training jiu-jitsu in my back yard.

As we say goodbye to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Bathurst, we're so thankful for all the amazing people we've met and all incredibly fun times sharing the mats together.

Goodbye everybody!

Coach Chris Haueter get to class!
Here are his 4 golden rules for having a strong top game in BJJ:
#1: Be the guy on top.
# 2: When on top, stay on top.
# 3: When on bottom, have a guard you shall not pass.
# 4: Never forget Rule #1: Easily forgotten due to the seductive and rewarding nature of the guard.

“Chris Haueter, is an American martial arts athlete and coach. As one of the first American Black Belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Chris is best known for his innovative teaching style and conceptual coaching ability and naming of new positions as the art rapidly developed in the mid 90’s, coined the term ‘Combat Base’ as it related to shooting platform.
He spread BJJ to the UK and across the US in the late 90’s. Chris is one of the BJJ Dirty Dozen (first 12 Non-Brazilian recipients of the BJJ black belt). He received his black belt from Rigan Machado in 1996, is the first American black belt to compete in the Mundials De Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil, the first American black belt to win a black belt match. Over the years Chris has won multiple Pan American, and superfight victories. He is also a highly respected JKD practitioner directly trained under Dan Inosanto.”

Member Highlight!

For as long as this club has run, there has always been the constant that is Aaron Boss.

From the shed in my backyard, to operating a club, everyone has gotten the chance to train with Bossy.

He is dedicated to improving and providing the kind of training environment that we can all train in for the rest of our lives. He's a phenomenal friend, and he's setting his sights on becoming one of our instructors!

What a joy it is to share the mats with you brother!

Much love!

We had the incredible opportunity to train with one of the original Dirty Dozen of Jiu-Jitsu.

Chris Haeuter is one of the most amazing teachers of the art form. To learn from someone who has such a firm grasp of jiu-jitsu in its purest forms means the most minute details of a basic position can be mindblowing.

Truly a game changing evening!

Too often, we hit a roadblock in training, and that can derail our enthusiasm for consistency.

When the goal IS consistency THEN progress is the outcome!
