Brazilian Jiu Jitsu / Grappling

BJJ is a martial art that teaches a smaller person how to defend against a larger adversary by using leverage and proper technique.

Started by the Gracie family in the 1900's in Brazil, where they would test their art against other styles of martial arts in "Vale Tudo" (anything goes) tournaments. In the mid 90's the Gracie's would travel to the USA and take the martial arts world by storm by competing in the now popular UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and dominating.

Jiu Jitsu will boost your strenght, conditioning, flexibility and general health.

Amaze Yourself With What You Can Accomplish.

You can achieve so much more than you think. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, you will prove that to yourself. When you do, you’ll see that the sky is the limit. That’s what so many people in Prospect are finding out!

Our Team

ANDY (HEAD COACH)

I have been involved in Martial Arts my whole life, starting my training off with Taekwondo as a young kid. Since then I have been fortunate enough to train and learn from some great and legendary Martial Artists in Australia and abroad.

Some of the styles that I have trained and competed in are Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Pankration, Submission Wrestling, Sambo, Crazy Monkey Defence, Floro Fighting Systems, Freestyle Wrestling, Boxing, Catch Wrestling and Muay Thai, at both State and National Levels. I believe in a holistic approach to Martial Arts training to be able to reach its full benefits and achieve that balance in life.

I am passionate and committed to helping my students achieve their goals and being the best coach that I can be. I truly believe that with hard work, dedication and commitment anything can be achieved.

I look forward to working with you soon.
