1610 - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood

In a world obsessed with instant results, jiu-jitsu teaches us to respect the slow work.

Listen. Drill. Fail. Adjust. Repeat.

Progress may be quiet, but night after night, it turns beginners into grapplers, teammates into family and lambs into wolves.

This is 1610 🤙🏽

Every journey starts with a first roll. 🥋

First Roll Friday is a relaxed, supportive class created for complete beginners and white belts who want to build strong foundations, ask questions and grow their confidence on the mats.

No experience required, just show up, learn and have fun.

📅 Every Friday
⏰ 3:30pm–4:30pm
📍 1610 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Edenvale

Thursday nights have a kind of magic.

The week slows down, the mats come alive, and for a couple of hours, nothing else really matters.

The beautiful thing about jiu-jitsu is that the mats don't care who you are before you walk through the door.

Some of us arrive after a long day at work. Some after a day of parenting. Some are students chasing a dream, mums and dads chasing a little peace, or people carrying the weight of things no one else can see.

On these mats, we're all just training partners.

We choose to do hard things together. We sweat, struggle, laugh, tap, learn, and come back to do it all again. Not because it's easy, but because every round makes us a little stronger than we were yesterday.

This is what makes our community so special. Different backgrounds. Different stories. One shared commitment to keep showing up.

The people on these mats are the reason this place feels like home. 💚🥋

There's a moment in every hard round where everything goes quiet.

The timer fades.
The noise disappears.
You're no longer thinking about the next technique or the score. You're simply reacting. One movement flowing into the next.

That's the state of flow 🌊

It's not something you can force. It comes from countless repetitions, hours on the mats, and the willingness to embrace uncomfortable positions until they become familiar.

Saturday comp class isn't about proving who's the toughest in the room. It's about sharpening the edge, trusting your training, and finding that place where instinct takes over.

Every scramble.
Every escape.
Every submission attempt.

One step closer to becoming the athlete you were yesterday.

See you on the mats. 🥋

At 1610 BJJ, our Wolf Cubs learn through play. 🐺

Every game, obstacle course, chase, crawl, roll, and challenge has a purpose. While they're having fun, they're developing coordination, balance, body awareness, confidence, focus, and the fundamental movements that form the building blocks of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

For our Cubs, learning doesn't start with technique. It starts with movement, curiosity, and play.

Because when children enjoy the process, they learn faster, build confidence naturally, and develop skills that extend far beyond the mats.

Strong bodies. Brave minds. Confident kids.

Join the pack. 🖤🐺

The hardest belt to earn in Jiu-Jitsu isn't the blue belt. It's not the black belt.

It's the white belt.

It's the belt that gets you through the door for the first time. The belt that survives the awkwardness, the self-doubt, the sore muscles, and the feeling of not knowing what you're doing.

Every black belt was once a white belt who chose to come back.

At 1610 BJJ, we don't expect perfection. We celebrate courage, consistency, and showing up.

Thinking about starting? Your journey begins with a white belt. And that's something to be proud of.

🥋 Come train with us.
