My 8 year old son has been attending classes for 6 months now and its had a such a positive impact on his confidence, coordination and ability to learn new skills. Professor Doa and the team are excellent. I would highly recommend BMJJA.

Thank you for the kind words. It's been great having him in class and watching him grow. I'm really glad to hear it's made a difference. Appreciate the recommendation and your support.
I have been attending BMJJA for a few months now and I am loving the experience. Professor Doa, James, Scott and all the instructors show such care and passion in their teaching which makes the classes so enjoyable. The culture they have created makes showing up easy, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of trying something new.
My 9 year old has been attending BMJJA for 8 months. Professor Doa is fantastic with kids of all ages and personalities. He’s kind, supportive, and compassionate - always encouraging and building their confidence. He creates an environment where kids feel comfortable to try new things and persevere through challenges, and the more experienced students naturally model the expectations which helps new students learn and settle in.
He keeps things fun and finds creative ways to keep the kids engaged, they spend most of the class with the biggest smiles on their faces. There’s no wasted time, class sizes are just right, and the community he’s built is kind and welcoming. The kids are taught to look out for each other, and newcomers are always made to feel included from day one.
I recently attended a seminar at Blue Mountains Jiu Jitsu Academy with Priit Mihkelson, and it was such a great experience! It’s awesome that the club hosted someone like Priit— it was a rare chance to learn from him, I really enjoyed this fresh perspective on learning jiu-jitsu.
The gym itself is fantastic. It’s a beautiful space, super clean, well looked after, and has everything you’d want in a gym, from adults right through to kids/families. Doa was very welcoming and friendly, thank you so much for hosting! Anyone looking to train in the area, I 100% recommend checking out Blue Mountains Jiu Jitsu Academy!
Fantastic Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy based in Springwood. The coaching staff are friendly, attentive and highly experienced. The academy has a wonderful community vibe and is incredibly welcoming to new comers just getting started on their jiu-jitsu journey. I can't recommend BMJJA highly enough!
BMJJA is a great academy with an emphasis on quality teaching, positive culture and clean, hygienic conditions.
Professor Doa and the other trainers provide high quality instruction, in a safe and fun environment.
I would highly recommend visiting, whether you're an experienced Jiu jitsu athlete or a beginner.
BMJJA is an amazing martial arts school, the students are all so supportive to new people and the coaches are incredible! I learnt so much from my time at BMJJA and had so much fun in the process! I highly recommend this school to anyone regardless of your experience with BJJ or any martial arts!!
Dropped in while visiting from out of the country. Could not have been a more welcoming environment. Thanks again! Great meeting everyone!

The atmosphere and commitment of the staff and students is admirable, the learning is not only limited to jujitsu but the environment we train in contributes to better preparation for dealing with real life stress. BMJJA has helped me deal with my own stress in a healthy and controlled setting and I highly reccomend this gym!
A great martial arts experience
This was the second free introductory class I went to with a friend. We were loaned pertect fitting ghees for the classes.
It is a welcoming space. We were introduced to some of the basic warm ups amd techniques by the top instructor.
We were then paired with senior members of the club (Nina and Jake) to learn particular techniques.
The teaching was scafolded and personalised which was great, and our partners were patient, helpful and friendly. :)
Importantly, safetly was the top priority. That meant being able to 'tap out' at any time for any reason. A lot of care was given to communicating this and being mindful of new students.
There is also an opportunity at the end of each class to experience the beginnings of how to grapple on the mat. The senior members made this a really good learning opportunity.
There seems to be a great camaraderie at the club. I'll be going back! Thanks for a great start. 🙌🙏
