History

Introducing the Macquarie University Grappling Club – the newest addition to our student sports community! Founded in 2024 by students, for students, the club offers a dynamic space to learn grappling, build confidence, develop self-defense skills, and stay physically fit. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, everyone is welcome on the mats.

About Us

We are proud to be a recreational club led by national and international-level grapplers, bringing high-level Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (No-Gi), and Wrestling to Macquarie University. Our classes are designed to build skills, foster community, and celebrate the art of grappling — all while promoting fitness and self-defence.

Grappling, which includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (No-Gi), Judo, and Wrestling, is more than just a sport. It’s a powerful tool for developing confidence, discipline, and respect. At the Macquarie University Grappling Club, our mission is to empower members through martial arts, helping everyone gain the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves, grow personally, and enjoy the journey on the mats.
