SJJA Association

SJJA Association is a Karate club located in North Narrabeen, Australia. With a strong focus on positivity, respect, and discipline, SJJA offers a learning space for kids to grow both physically and mentally. The club is supported by SJJA HQ in Crows Nest, providing constant communication and business support to all associated schools.

SJJA franchisees benefit from various resources provided by SJJA HQ. These include access to accounting, management, and payment systems, marketing materials, website templates, merchandise, supplier contacts, coaching and staff training, sales support, and proprietary technology. This support ensures that each school runs efficiently and effectively. Franchisees also receive regular information and updates through the monthly Academy newsletter.

The popularity of Jiu-jitsu, fueled by the success of the UFC and MMA, has led to a surge in interest for martial arts training. SJJA gyms have capitalised on this trend, experiencing rising membership numbers that are expected to continue. SJJA members are highly engaged and proud of their school, often driving growth through word-of-mouth and social media. In addition to membership income, franchisees also generate revenue from private coaching and merchandise sales, providing multiple revenue streams and enhancing customer retention.

Starting an SJJA franchise requires a low capital investment and affordable establishment and monthly licence fees. A commercial property of at least 150 square metres (1830 square feet) is needed to operate a studio. Previous business or Jiu-jitsu knowledge is not required, but each school must have a head coach of at least brown belt level. Coaches are required to complete the SJJA coaching course and obtain any necessary training certificates and accreditation.

Prospective franchisees are encouraged to visit the Crows Nest HQ to observe the operations of one of Australia's biggest gyms.

SJJA provides comprehensive training to franchisees, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to run their schools successfully. The training covers the systems and procedures for managing the business, as well as key performance metrics to measure its health. By implementing Bruno's success-proven formula, franchisees can watch their gyms flourish under the SJJA banner.

Being a part of the SJJA Association offers a unique business opportunity in the martial arts industry. The low set-up cost, low ongoing fee structure, high margins, and engaged community within the SJJA network make it an attractive investment for those interested in owning a Karate club. With the support of SJJA HQ and access to proven strategies, franchisees can create a thriving martial arts community in North Narrabeen.
