HJJ Stories – Brad Hampson

August 16, 2021/by John Smallios

Brad came to Sydney from Perth in 2018 looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu, and a community to grow with.

He intended to look around and try a few different gyms across the Sydney CBD. He did one class with Higher Jiu Jitsu at the legendary PCYC City of Sydney, and immediately signed up.

Three + years on he’s been around, and still finds himself amongst it in Woolloomooloo 2011 , armed with skills of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, many close friends, and as an integral member of our school.

This is his story.
