About Us

We are currently a recreational club, lead by national and international level grapplers focused on bring high level Judo, Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling to Macquarie. Our classes are focused on skill building, community and enjoying the art of grappling, with a strong element of fitness and self defence integrated into our program.  

Grappling consists of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu(No-gi), Judo and Wrestling. Grappling like many sports help individuals gain confidence, and we as a Grappling club aim to ensure members feel empowered while learning martial arts. Martial arts help many with discipline, respect and empowerment as learning a type of self defense helps many to have the knowledge to protect themselves.
