An hour where work, emails and everything else disappears.
Full body training that doesn't feel like another workout.
Learn to stay calm, solve problems and handle pressure.
Train hard together. Make friendships you didn't expect.
Everyone on our mats was new once. You don't need experience, fitness or to keep up with anyone, you just need to show up.
Every class deliberately mixes beginners with more experienced students, paired appropriately by our coaches. That's not something to be nervous about, it's actually the fastest way to learn. Training with someone more experienced means better technique and safer rolls, because they know how to guide a beginner, not overpower one.
Most people haven't. You'll be shown everything.
Most people do.
Every class is set to your pace.
Every class starts by bowing in together. A sign of respect for your training partners and a moment to leave the outside world behind and focus on training.
We warm up by drilling basic movement, not star jumps. You're already learning before you know it.
The coach demonstrates the technique for the day, breaking it down step by step.
You'll practise the technique with a partner. Coaches move around the room correcting and helping, no one is left to figure it out alone.
A short, focused drill that isolates the position you just learned, so it starts to feel natural under a bit of resistance.
Class finishes with rolling, live, flowing practice against a partner. This is where everything you drilled gets tested.
That's completely fine. You can opt out of live rounds for as long as you need, no explanation required. Plenty of members ease in gradually.
You don't need any experience to join our regular Gi or No Gi classes. They're designed for everyone from complete beginners through to experienced students.
Our dedicated Beginners classes at Maroochydore break down the basics at a slower pace (positions, movement, terminology and how a class works) so you'll feel more comfortable joining the regular program.
Every black belt on our mats started exactly where you're about to.
“I've really found a home amongst you guys.” — Kevin
Kevin started Jiu Jitsu less than a year ago. He came for the training and found something much bigger: community, confidence and a place he genuinely belongs.
And along the way: QLD State Champion at white belt
Since day one you guys have all been so good to me. I've never experienced a community such as this.
Before Jiu Jitsu I was very isolated. And no, being able to talk isn't being social. Truly, I am an introverted soul who would prefer to avoid people and stay home.
I've really found a home amongst you guys. I'm not usually one to speak openly about my feelings, but each and every one of you so openly accepted me and welcomed me into the lifestyle of Jiu Jitsu.
Jiu Jitsu isn't just a sport to me, it's so much deeper and personal than a martial art. Since my cancer, it's really helped me reconnect with the world through people, which seemed impossible some time ago. In a way, Jiu Jitsu has saved my life in every sense of the word, reigniting a new passion which has completely taken over my life, and I'm not complaining.
I am known to be a very resilient person who sucks down all the feelings. Thank you for all the lessons, support, and community.
It's the same Jiu Jitsu, trained in two different ways, and we believe both have a place in your training.
Training in the traditional jacket and belt gives you more ways to grip, control and slow your opponent down.
That allows you to rely less on speed and athleticism and more on timing, leverage and technique. It's a style of Jiu Jitsu you can adapt as your body changes, one of the reasons Gi remains such an important part of sustainable, long term training.
A more sustainable way to train: easier on your body, with less wear and tear over the long run.
Without the jacket and clothing grips, No Gi is generally faster and more dynamic.
There's more movement, wrestling, scrambling and a greater reliance on speed and agility. It challenges your reactions, athleticism and ability to move, and brings a completely different energy to your training.
A faster, more athletic challenge that sharpens your movement and reactions.
You don't have to choose. Gi teaches you how to slow things down and solve problems with control. No Gi teaches you to move, react and adapt when things speed up.
Training both gives you a more complete Jiu Jitsu game, and keeps training interesting for years to come. Beginners are welcome in both.
