Welcome to Focus Jiu Jitsu Academy, a world-class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling training facility located in Mill Park, VIC. At Focus Jiu Jitsu, we cater to adults and children of all ages, providing a wide range of training programmes to meet individual goals and interests.
Whether you're looking for fitness, competition, self-defence, or just an opportunity to learn a new skill and make lifelong friends, our academy is proud to serve the diverse needs of our community. We believe that Jiu Jitsu is not just a martial art but also a pathway to personal growth, focus, resilience, and emotional fortitude.
Jiu Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is a martial art and self-defence system that focuses on ground fighting and submission holds rather than striking. It has a rich history, honed over thousands of years, and gained popularity when Royce Gracie used Jiu Jitsu to become the first-ever UFC champion in 1993. The art emphasises technique, leverage, and knowledge of human physiology to subdue opponents, making it an essential skill for elite Mixed Martial Arts competitors.
Apart from its self-defence and fighting applications, Jiu Jitsu is an excellent way for individuals of all ages to get fit, challenge themselves, and connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the art. Many practitioners also find Jiu Jitsu to be a journey of self-discovery, as they continuously strive for mastery.
At Focus Jiu Jitsu, we offer a variety of classes to suit different interests and skill levels. Our Gi Jiu Jitsu class focuses on the fundamentals of the art, welcoming all levels of experience. The class includes warm-up exercises, technique instruction, partner drills, and controlled sparring to test newly acquired skills.
For those who prefer techniques without the Gi, we offer Nogi Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling classes. These classes place a greater emphasis on standing techniques and incorporate manoeuvres inspired by freestyle wrestling. Participants are required to wear a rashguard or t-shirt with shorts or spats.
Competitive Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts can take advantage of our Competition Class, which prepares individuals for tournaments by covering rules, point systems, and strategies associated with the sport. In this class, participants engage in high-intensity sparring sessions to test their limits in a controlled environment.
If you're a complete beginner, we recommend our Introduction to Jiu Jitsu class, a 30-minute session that covers basic concepts and safety tips. Although not required, this introductory class provides a solid foundation before joining our group classes.
For any further information or to book your free introductory session, please contact us at 0406756248 or via email at focusjjacademy@gmail. Com. We are located on the second floor directly above Ayurvedian. We look forward to welcoming you to Focus Jiu Jitsu Academy, where you'll find a supportive community and the opportunity to develop your skills in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling.
