ROOTS Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

ROOTS BJJ was the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym to be opened in Australia by a Brazilian Black Belt.

Our vision is to empower people both mentally and physically to have a better and more balanced life through experiencing the benefits of martial arts. These benefits include discipline, respect, self-confidence, self-defence, focus, mental strength, coordination, physical exercise and friendship. All levels and ages are welcome.

BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS

⭐ Little Ninjas

The little Ninjas classes are a modified children's BJJ curriculum, and they are designed for children between the ages of 3 to 5 (pre-school). The Little Ninjas classes have a strong focus on fun, balance, and coordination. Classes work with the basics of BJJ, and incorporate elements of functional training (e.g. obstacle courses and animal walks). Classes run between 30 minutes to one hour depending on the gym.

⭐ Children & Teens Classes

ROOTS BJJ has an extensive training program for children and teens. We also actively compete in local and state competitions. The ROOTS BJJ curriculum features an appropriate level of contact for your child's physical development and maturity so that they learn safely and effectively. BJJ will help your child to develop discipline, respect, honour, leadership, coordination, strength, and self-confidence while making friends and having fun.

⭐ School and After School Care Programs

Self-defense, discipline, self-respect, and respect for others are some of the skills that we teach as part of our school and after-shool training sessions at ROOTS BJJ. ROOTS BJJ highly trained and qualified instructors can develop a program to suit the needs and ages of your students. We specialise in self-defence and anti-bullying programs.

ABOUT US

The ROOTS Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Academy was founded in 2000 by Prof Paulo Guimaraes. The ROOTS BJJ Academy has grown to become one of the biggest and strongest teams in the Australian competition scene.

As a team, ROOTS BJJ have won many tournaments and we have forged hundreds of champion athletes including World, Australian, Asian and Pan Pacific champions.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most efficient martial art in the world for self-defence and one-to-one combat. The use of a range of techniques, such as joint locks and chokes, to immobilise or to make an opponent submit are based on leverage and control. This makes it easy for a weaker or smaller person to defeat a bigger and stronger opponent in any situation.

At ROOTS BJJ, we focus on equipping our students with a range of techniques that can be used for self-defence as well as training for belts and competitions. At ROOTS BJJ, you will learn this amazing martial art in all aspects from the fundamentals to the highest competition level plus the most efficient self-defence system in the world taught by our high qualified and experienced instructors. Learn and have fun in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere at the same time you develop your skills on the mats.
