GERRINGONG JIU JITSU ACADEMY
Gerringong's Home of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for real people on the South Coast. Kids, adults, beginners and experienced grapplers all training under the same roof in Gerringong.
COMMUNITY WITHOUT EGO
No cliques, no politics, no one trying to prove something. Just good people showing up and helping each other get better.
EXPERT COACHING
GJA is coached by three black belts with over 50 years of combined experience on the mats. Every class is structured, technical and taught at a pace that actually makes sense.
CONFIDENCE & RESILIENCE
Every roll builds more than skill. It builds discipline, self-belief, problem-solving, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
LOCAL & FAMILY-FOCUSED
We are based in Gerringong and have been part of this community for years. Families train here together and everyone is welcome regardless of age or experience.
Welcome to Gerringong Jiu Jitsu Academy (GJA)
The South Coast’s home of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Wrestling.
We built GJA because we wanted somewhere normal people could walk into without feeling like they had something to prove. No hierarchy, no intimidation, just good training in a gym that actually looks after people.
Just good Jiu Jitsu, good people and a gym you actually want to come back to.
Three black belts. Over 50 years of experience between us. A gym where your coach actually knows your name.
We are not trying to be like every other gym on the South Coast. We are trying to be the best one to train at. Real coaching, a proper timetable and a room where you are not just a number on a membership list.
Whether you have never trained a day in your life or you have been on the mats for years, you will fit in here.
📍 Located in Gerringong, serving families and athletes across the South Coast.
