After almost 6 years we have had to make the sad decision to close Black Knight Jiu Jitsu. The covid lockdowns hit us hard and with no rent relief and a lack of support, we haven’t been able to recover.
Thank you so much to all of those who did train with us over the past 6 years! In that time we managed to host a small number of international renowned and world champion BJJ athletes at our gym including Michelle Nicolini, Kurt Osiander and Chris Haueter, to name a few. Id also like to thank my coach and friend, Felipe Grez, for being such an awesome coach and I look forward to continuing my BJJ journey under him!
Although we weren’t a “competition” type gym, we did have a few members successfully medal in various comps from Sydney and Canberra to Melbourne.
It isn’t completely over for Black knight Jiu Jitsu. I will be setting up a casual training area in my garage at home and will continue training once that is set up. If interest picks up in the future I would love to get another place and try again! In the meantime I will still offer private classes (1 on 1, 2 on 1) and I hope to be able to travel during the week to other gyms in the area to train.
Our last class will be this Thursday evening. Thanks again to all who trained here and we hope to do it again in the future!
