Response from the owner: Hi Matt, thanks for the positive feedback about our program and we're glad your son is enjoying himself 🙂
We started our 5-year-old son with Warrnambool bjj late last year and he has loved it so much that we drive an hour to attend the classes.The gym is clean and well-kept. The coaches are all approachable, knowledgeable and very good with the kids.I would highly recommend anyone else interested in BJJ, to get in touch with the club and check it out.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind words Zac. We’re glad your son loves attending and being apart of it 😊
Dropped in for some rolls while on holiday and and was welcomed by a great group of guys, thanks for having me and hopefully I'll get the chance to drop in again
Response from the owner: Welcome back anytime mate. Thanks for dropping in 🤙🏼
Highly recommend getting down to Warrnambool Jujitsu. We called in for a roll while on holidays, Matt was easy to chat too and welcomed the boys into the gym. He showed them some new moves and helped with their technique all while keeping it light and fun. Definitely be visiting again. Cheers Matt.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind words and the positive review Kelly. Glad the boys had fun 😊 feel free to pop in again when you’re in town 🤙🏼
Matt (and Tim) did a wonderful job hosting my son’s birthday. He kept 16 very excited little boys entertained with a mix of energetic games and fun Jiu Jitsu based exercises. Thank you very much, everyone had a great time!
Response from the owner: Hi Suzy and thanks for the positive response. We’re glad the birthday party was a hit for all involved 😊
I have only been taking my 6 year old son here for a short time, but in that time he has built confidence and is striving to improve his basic skills. Matt is very patient and attentive to all the kids and ensures all are correctly manoeuvring to avoid injury.
Response from the owner: Hi Amy, thanks for the positive review.Glad we are able to help your son grow in confidence and improve his skills 😊
Patient, welcoming and very professional. Mattand the team have guided our daughter to bemuch more confident, while also teaching respectand solid core values that any parent wouldappreciate. Groups are small so no one is leftbehind, and the excitement on our girls face whenshe learns a new move is cherishable.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive review Chris. So glad your daughter is enjoying herself in our program and growing as a person 😊
Great place to learn jui-jitsu with a friendly group of people 😊
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive feedback Tom 😊
Jiu Jitsu was quite a new sport for us when our son started a couple of years ago. It is very hands on, which we weren’t really used to, but very realistic though and helpful in real life situations. The club is great in building the kids self confidence. Teachers are skilful and helpful and nice to every kid that’s there. I would highly recommend the sport and the club to anyone. Our son enjoys going every week, has made nice friends along the way and is turning into a strong young lad. What more can you ask for.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind words and positive review Petra 😊
Trained with Coach Matt and the crew while holidaying in Warrnambool for a couple of weeks. I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable, a very friendly club who are more than happy to share ideas and techniques. Matt is very professional with how he operates and a great communicator. I’ll be back next summer!Cameron Beale
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review Cameron. It’s been awesome having you. Thanks for dropping by and catch up soon 🤙🏼
Friendly people, great sport. I’d definitely recommend giving it a go. Great for mental and physical health too.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review Anthony. Thanks again for dropping in. You’re welcome anytime 🤙🏼
Our son has recently joined the club at the start of the year. Through out this year we have seen his confidence grow. He looks forward to Judo classes and he has so much fun. His coordination has also improved immensely.
Response from the owner: Hi Hope,Glad your son has benefitted from our kids program. We’ve enjoyed having him.Thanks for the positive review 😊
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive review Megan 😊
The coaches at Warrnambool Brazilian Jiu Jitsu have been nothing but professional and welcoming coaches. Our teenage daughter started at the club late in the year and already loves attending the classes which she looks forward to every week.I would highly recommend Warrnambool Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to any parent considering it for their child or any teen or adult considering Jiu Jitsu lessons. The classes install valuable skills of discipline, self confidence, fitness and self defence, which are all gained in a safe, fun and welcoming community. Highly recommended 👌 😃
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive review Jess 😊
I have attended two of the female self defence workshops and enjoyed both sessions. I felt welcomed, comfortable and supported. I strongly encourage all females to get involved in these very informative, relaxed and fun sessions.
Response from the owner: Thanks for your feedback Jenna-Lee. I’m glad you enjoyed the workshops 😊
Response from the owner: Hi Chennae thanks for your review 😊
This is a great club for the whole family, and an opportunity to meet new people .My daughter has trained there for 2 years, and has made some great friends.I recently went to the Woman’s self defence information session, I highly recommend for all ladies, I was nervous at first but soon relaxed and had a great time because everyone was so welcoming.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive feedback Kerri-Anne. Glad both you and your daughter enjoy training with us in our welcoming family friendly club 😊
Matt ran a come and try aimed at self defence for women. I found it to be of great value and would definitely encourage anyone to reach out if wanting to try something new.
Response from the owner: Glad you enjoyed the class Andrea and thanks for being apart of it 😊
I attended two nights of women only self defense with my daughters. We all really enjoyed the classes. The information was brilliant and the delivery was casual and not at all intimidating.
Response from the owner: Glad you and the girls enjoyed the class Karen.Thanks for the positive feedback 😊
I found the first class of the female self defence workshop great. The class was super interesting and engaging and definitely something I would like to continue should the full program go ahead! I think the skills and information these classes provide are invaluable.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive words Della. Glad you enjoyed the class 😊
I highly recommend Warrnambool BJJ , I have been attending self defense classes forwomen here and I was totally impressed. The coach is highly professional and takes pride with the cleaninest of his premises. I look forward to going to more classes.
Response from the owner: Hi Alicia, we’re glad your enjoyed the class and thanks so much for the favourable words 😊
I started training late 2020, I have both my children enrolled and they love their training. I have personally found the club very patient and welcoming, I’m not the fittest bloke but have been supported and encouraged without being used as a punching bag. The senior members and coach really take the time to invest in their members, they have great instruction and guidance. I would highly recommend the club for everyone, young or old.
Response from the owner: Hi Tim, thanks for the positive words. Glad both you and the family are enjoying your BJJ journey with us.
I haven't been a member of Warrnambool BJJ for very long, but since the moment I nervously walked into the gym I felt extremely welcomed. The coach, and rest of the crew all have a great level of knowledge, and more importantly the ability to teach. The things I've learnt in my short time have put both my body and mind to the test as I've grappled, thrown and rolled with some great people. I couldn't recommend Warrnambool BJJ highly enough, my only regret is not signing up sooner! If you're ever considering something like this, there are some great trial deals available to see if it's something you'd enjoy (you will).
Response from the owner: Thanks for the positive words Jack. Glad you’re enjoying your BJJ journey.Everyone is in the same boat when we start- nerves, feeling uncoordinated etc but we were all a beginner once and all have a starting point. The hardest part of the journey is walking through the doors for the first time 😊
My son loves it. It’s a great way for him to meet new kids and a great way to interact with with others his age. He is becoming more confident whilst learning discipline and respect. Plus he burns off excess energy.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the feedback Susan. We appreciate the kind words.
Good club with a friendly atmosphere
Response from the owner: Hi Ashley thanks for the positive review
Great family friendly gym with lots of options for kids and adults. They even hosted a Ladies Self-Defence seminar for my work.
Response from the owner: Hi Matt thanks for the positive review and comments.
Started training late last year and ive found it very welcoming with a good timetable to suit people who just knocked off work. If the martial art you want to train is Brazilian jiu jitsu then this is the place to come and train that is available in the local area.
Response from the owner: Cheers thanks Brock 🤙🏼
Great place to learn the Art of jujitsu. Our daughter benefited from kid friendly and well Planned it and thought out lessonz
Response from the owner: That so for the kind words Jason 😊
A great family friendly club. Welcoming and encouraging of all levels. My kids are learning respect, listening more, and the older more experienced kids are great at helping the new ones. I especially like the high ratio of girls and women that make it really welcoming for girls 😀
Response from the owner: So glad your kids are enjoying our classes. It’s a pleasure to have them.Thank you for the kind words 😊
My kids joined because they were being bullied at school. Within a few weeks you could see their confidence back. The club has a friendly welcoming environment for students and their families. The other students make your kids feel welcome from the start. The instructors are great with kids and break lessons down for easy to follow instructions.
Response from the owner: Glad to hear your kids have their confidence back Fiona. Thanks is for the positive words 🙏🏻
Great place to learn BJJ , all beginners welcome female and male and you dont need to take anything there to try to see if you like it and if you do like it you can buy a Gi from them and if you just want to watch them thats ok too
Response from the owner: Cheers thanks Dominick 🤙🏼
