We know you’re a good guy. But there’s some things some people do on the mats, and it's very annoying. Make sure you’re not a culprit of one of these!

What’s the difference between Gracie Jiu Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Aren’t they the different names for the same thing? That’s what I thought too. Then I met some problems, and great teachers, and now there’s no going back.

Just because you’ve never been in a fight, doesn’t mean you don’t need self defence. The skills we learn in jiu jitsu are there to help you if ever the situation came about. It’s not paranoia, it’s preparation. And so much fun along the way!

We're bringing Gracie Jiu Jitsu to the kids, and we’re excited! Maybe it's because we've dealt with bullies too. Then came jiu jitsu. And now things have changed. So we’re compelled to share the benefits of the martial arts with the kids, and serve the Sydney community, both of today and of tomorrow. 

When you become curious about how jiu jitsu works, you allow yourself the space to feel differences, and come up with better solutions to problems. That's why you ought to study the science of jiu jitsu. 

You trained for some time, but you got injured, and you decided that this art just isn't for you. That's unfortunate. With some strategies you can mould your luck to have fun and be safe on the mats. 

You do jiu jitsu to help yourself. To help yourself you need to look out for others. This is very much an inner journey, and yet it's done with the others around you. Your teammates need you. Help them out.

You love jiu jitsu. It challenges you and you've never been so enthusiastic about anything in your life. But how much do you rely on it? How much jiu jitsu is enough? Just like on the mats, you seek balance as a way to keep yourself on your feet. Here's how.. 

Who are you to enjoy jiu jitsu? Who are you to wear that colour belt? What makes you think you can help others on the mats? If you've ever been paralysed by these thoughts, you're not alone. Here's how to work with Imposter Syndrome within jiu jitsu. 

They say home is where the heart lies. Then there's your jiu jitsu academy. You show up to practice martial arts, and the benefits go well beyond this. The community and the camaraderie within the dojo is one to be felt. Here is why. 

You show up day in and out to train jiu jitsu. You love it, yet you're constantly left frustrated at your lack of improvement. Perhaps you're just not looking in the right places. Here's another way to look into getting better at jiu jitsu. 

Jiu jitsu is a martial art that prepares you for a fight. But you don't learn it by fighting. Training like this will only lead to injuries. You get better in an environment of learning. This is how your jiu jitsu will excel and this is how you will prosper in life. 

An expert tells you what to do while a coach guides you through the process. At Higher Jiu Jitsu you won't be told what to do as much as asked how it feels? The most effective knowledge lies within yourself. It is our aim to faciliate the jiu jitsu, and help you uncover that for yourself.
