Melbourne Jiu-Jitsu Academy

This Father’s Day we’re celebrating the father figures in our lives! Members: Bring your Dad, Pa, Pai, Mum, or Mae! We’ll lend them a Gi so they can have a roll, and maybe learn a position or two! Pre-schoolers, Kids, Juniors, and fundamentals classes on Saturday, September 6th. Sign up at the front desk or drop us an email.

A huge thank you to Gutemberg Pereira for spending a few days with us, sharing his knowledge, experience and passion for jiu-jitsu.

World champion. Incredible teacher. Smart, humble and one of the hardest-working people you’ll meet.
It was a privilege for everyone who attended to learn from him both on and off the mats.

Fun fact: we also sat down with Gutemberg for a series of short interviews while he was here. One thing we learned? He’s a serious coffee fan... so Melbourne definitely delivered. ☕️🇦🇺

We’ll be sharing those videos over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out. 👊🏽

Nothing beats seeing our team grow in confidence, skill and determination on the mats.

Congratulations also to Fernando Toledo on his new purple belt, a reward for all the hard work he’s put in, and to Yanis on earning his blue belt.

Special thanks to coach Lucas for being there to support on his day off.

Progress isn’t always measured in belts, but it’s pretty special when the hard work gets recognised. 💙🥋
