SJJA Hornsby

Lots of quality gyms around. Gyms I've trained at or know have a good reputation: * Legacy * MyBJJ * High Rollers Jiu jitsu * SJJA Crows Nest (my gym, lots of classes, mostly gi) If you want specifically competitive focus: * Sydney West Martial Arts (nogi) * MyBJJ Westside (gi) source, 2024 ↗

I don’t believe that class structure is unique to John. Lachlan ran a very similar format when I was training in Melbourne and it works great there, even for the hobbiests. In Sydney I use a similar format in my classes at Grappling Education and SJJA and you see the same at Sydney West Martial Arts where I train. I strongly believe that, for the most part, warmups for Jiu Jitsu is just a way for a coach to waste a good chunk of time. source, 2023 ↗

Legacy Jiu Jitsu has a bunch of gyms everywhere and they have been great for me. Started 2 months ago at Hornsby. I like the gym culture (feels like everyone looks out for each other) and that while the coaches push us hard you can see rapid results. I am 18 years old if that helps with age similarity. source, 2021 ↗

Bruno is doing his own thing with SJJA now, he has unaffiliated himself from GB. Mate crazy how this small area of Sydney is packed to the rafters with crazy good grapplers. source, 2018 ↗

VT1 and SJJA are good schools/gym from what I’ve heard. Also check out myBJJ at cremorne as well as lunchtime classes in the cbd, with HQ at Camperdown, Im pretty sure you can train at all those locations under the same membership, plenty of classes on with excellent teaching and culture. mybjj.com.au. I’d recommend visiting all the gyms and see which one fits your needs most, all the best. source, 2018 ↗
