Preserving the Art, Advancing the Practice

Geraldton BJJ mission is to support you and your child in achieving success at every stage of your jiu-jitsu journey while enhancing confidence and overall wellness in a safe, clean, positive, and respectful environment.

Whether you’re starting your journey in BJJ or you’re already an experienced practitioner, we offer world-class training, supported by the expertise of our coaches.

We are dedicated to preserving the technical and philosophical foundations of jiu-jitsu as they have been passed down to us.

Our Programs

  • Beginners

    This program offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a structured and supportive environment.

    With a curriculum spanning 20 lessons, we focus on building a robust foundation without live sparring initially.

    This approach ensures beginners grasp essential techniques, concepts, and includes practical self-defence training before engaging in live sessions

  • Intermediate

    The essence of these classes lies in the intricate connections between techniques and their variations, the strategic deployment of double attacks, and the dynamic art of sparring.

    These classes are thoughtfully designed for practitioners who have prior experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and are looking to elevate their skills and understanding of the art to the next level.

  • No Gi

    BJJ No Gi classes are less technical and offer faster and more dynamic style of fighting.

    Our curriculum is a comprehensive roadmap that ensures a well-rounded and progressive learning experience.

    Whether your goal is self-defense, sport, or personal growth, our No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is designed to help you achieve it.

  • Kids

    Through fun and engaging classes, kids learn the art of respect, teamwork, and problem-solving, all while staying physically active.

    Our Jiu-Jitsu program for kids goes beyond physical training. It empowers children with the tools they need to recognize, prevent, and address bullying effectively.

Reviews

  • ‘‘Taking up BJJ for the first time as a nearly 50 year old woman was a bit daunting at first but Israel is an amazing, supportive and encouraging instructor and everyone in the gym is respectful, friendly and always so helpful. I'm getting so much out of my BJJ training and see myself doing this for years to come. I highly recommend Geraldton BJJ.’’
