WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ELITE
MORE THAN A MARTIAL ART
Screens are everywhere and real challenges are rare. Jiu-jitsu gives kids and adults a place to be pushed, supported and proud of the work they put in.
CONFIDENCE
Kids learn to stand tall, speak up and handle pressure, on and off the mats.
DISCIPLINE & FOCUS
Structured classes build listening skills, patience and a real work ethic.
RESPECT & RESILIENCE
Every class teaches them to win well, lose well and keep showing up.
FITNESS FOR LIFE
Adults get strong, fit and switched off from work. You don't need to be fit to start.

GOT QUESTIONS?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
No. Most people start out unfit, and I'll adjust every class to where you're at. Fitness comes from training; you don't need it before you start.
-
Arrive 10 minutes early and I'll meet you, show you around and sort a loan gi if you need one. Wear comfy sportswear with no zips or pockets, and bring a water bottle. You'll learn a few techniques with an experienced partner. There's zero commitment.
-
Memberships start from $36 per week. No lock-in contracts. After your trial I'll walk you through the options with no pressure.
-
Yes. Beginners start with controlled drilling, partners are matched by size and experience, and I supervise every round. Tapping is always respected, and I teach every student how to train safely from day one.
-
From 4. Kids train in their own age groups: 4–7, 8–12 and teens, so every class suits their size and attention span.
-
Yes. Beginners Gi runs Tuesday 6:30am and Wednesday 6pm, and Beginners No Gi runs Thursday 6:30am. You're also welcome in All Levels classes from your first week.
-
Not to start. I have loan gis for your trial, and I can help you buy the right one when you're ready. For no-gi classes, a shirt/rashguard and shorts are all you need.
-
Absolutely. Plenty of parents train in the adult classes while their kids do theirs, and some start at the same time as their kids. Parents are also welcome to watch from the side.
-
No. Competing is completely optional. Most of my students never compete, and every class is built for them.
-
Not at all. "Elite" is about the standard of coaching, not the standard you need to walk in with. I coach complete beginners right through to international champions.
