A few more photos from this weekend’s grading.

It’s been more than a decade of steady work for these guys, and it was special to see so many people there to support, cheer, and share the moment. Thanks to everyone who came along — days like this remind us what a strong community we’ve got here.

A really special open mat last night as we said farewell to one of our own — Coach Connor.

Connor’s been a huge part of the NBJJA family, helping our juniors grow, leading by example, and putting in the hours day after day. Last night he was awarded his well-deserved purple belt — recognition for years of hard work, dedication, and the kind of attitude that lifts everyone around him.

He’s off to Melbourne next, and then overseas to chase his goals at the ADCC trials. We couldn’t be prouder. Go do your thing, mate — the whole NBJJA crew is behind you. 💪

A few snaps from last night’s no-gi session with Coach Neven—working through takedowns, transitions, and back attacks.

Solid rounds, good energy, and plenty of learning on the mats.

☀️🏉🏃‍♂️ What a great way to end the school holidays ☀️🏉🏃‍♂️

Thanks to all the legendary kids who joined us this morning for the NBJJA x .au Footy camp. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine and a great group of kids who kicked, sprinted, passed, wrestled and tug-o-warred their way through the last day of holidays.

We hope we've worn the kids out enough for a chilled out afternoon, a huge sleep tonight and renewed energy to tackle Term 3 💪

Last night’s no-gi open mat featured a familiar face on the mats - visiting from interstate, Katie dropped in for a visit after two years away and it was like no time had passed at all.

This is what makes NBJJA special.
You come in for the Jiu-Jitsu, but you stay for the people. The laughs, the flow rolls, the friendships — it’s more than training, it’s a crew you’re part of for life.

Whether you’re brand new or coming back after a break… you’re always welcome here.

See you down at the Academy 😊

You’re not just joining a gym.
You’re joining a community.

At NBJJA, we teach technique, self-defence, and discipline — but that’s only part of what keeps people coming back.
It’s the friendships. The shared effort. The feeling of walking through the door and knowing you belong.

Whether you’re here to get fitter, learn something new, or just challenge yourself — you’re not doing it alone.

Thursday and Friday nights are for No-Gi at NBJJA.
The pace is fast, the vibe is fun, and every round is a chance to learn from each other.
Whether you’re chasing improvement or just love to roll— we’d love to see you on the mats.

Old friends on the mats, doing what they know and love—just with a bit more experience under their belts.
NBJJA isn’t just a place to train—it’s where community grows through shared effort and common goals.
Come for the Jiu-Jitsu, stay for the people.
