ABOUT GERRINGONG JIU JITSU ACADEMY
Gerringong's home of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Learn our story, meet the coaches, and find out why people keep coming back
WHO WE ARE.
At Gerringong Jiu Jitsu Academy, we were built out of a love for grappling and a desire to do things differently.
We run gi and no gi classes for kids and adults across the week. Whether you are brand new or have been training for years, this is a place where you can actually get better without the ego or the politics that follow so many gyms around.
WHAT WE STAND FOR.
We want people to walk out of every class feeling better than when they walked in. Fitter, sharper, more confident. That is what Jiu Jitsu does when it is taught properly and we take that seriously.
No cult vibes — just good training and good people.
No grading fees or lock-in contracts.
No egos or unhealthy hierarchies.
Community first — you are part of the team from day one.
High level coaching delivered with patience and clarity.
MEET OUR HEAD COACH
Ryan Brown — Head Coach
Ryan is a black belt under ADCC Trials Champion Keller Locke-Sodhi at Grappling Education. He started training in 2015 and has trained across Machado, Gracie and Grappling Education systems before finding his home with Keller.
Over a decade on the mats has taken him from nervous beginner to coaching people of all levels, from first-timers to competitors. He has a technical, detail-focused style and a coaching approach that actually makes things click — without taking himself too seriously.
His goal is simple. Make Jiu Jitsu accessible to anyone who walks through the door.
Matthew Pickett — Coach
Matthew is a black belt under Grant Barlow at Synergy Jiu Jitsu. A no gi specialist through and through, Matt's game is built around pressure, aggression and getting the finish. He is not interested in points.
Adam Mac — Coach
Adam is a black belt under Grant Barlow at Synergy Jiu Jitsu. If you end up rolling with Adam there is a good chance you will see a triangle coming — the question is whether you can stop it. Technical, creative and always hunting.
WHY CHOOSE US.
We’ve built this place for people who want more than a workout — they want a space where they belong.
