Dion at 80/20 BJJ is a fantastic, highly skilled coach and super welcoming. Brilliant with adults and great with kids: always calm, patient, encouraging. My three daughters love it. Can’t recommend him enough.
Dion is a phenomenal no-gi instructor. His teaching goes beyond the mats—he’s someone you’d be truly lucky to have as both a coach and a life mentor. Highly recommend training with him.
I want to take a moment to give a huge thanks to my instructor, Dion Mendel, at 80/20 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (midland) — the way to go!
Dion does more than teach techniques. He teaches patience, resilience, and how to stay calm when life gets tough. His words have lifted me during challenging times, and I see that same wisdom reflected in my son Eric, who trains under him as well. I have noticed how Dion’s teachings shape not only Eric’s skills on the mat but also the way he thinks, speaks, and carries himself every day.
BJJ is for everyone — women, kids, and men. Women, in particular, can find strength, potential, inspiration, and motivation through this art. We are not defined only by traditional roles — we can do great things on and off the mat. BJJ is not just a physical sport; it’s a philosophy and a practice of mindfulness that gives you more than you can imagine. It builds confidence, discipline, and respect.
80/20 BJJ is more than a club — it’s a community, a place of growth and transformation.
If you want your child to find inspiration and motivation through BJJ, message me. This journey is truly worth it.
80/20 is an incredible place to train. Dion is highly skilled and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Classes are well-structured, blending technique, drilling and live rolling. The members are friendly and encouraging, making every session enjoyable. Would highly recommend coming down!
I commenced training at 80/20 with Dion & class at age of 65yrs,with no active sports activities for 50yrs.
Dion's training skills,attention to detail,catering for all walks 🚶♂️ of life and guidance from fellow class students. I was able to take bjj on board. I have trained in Philippines,Thailand.
I give Dion 10/10 for his excellent patience,training skills.
I thank you Dion & fellow class members for steering me in right direction,with occasional speed humps.
There is light at end of tunnel.
Age is only a number
Thank you Dion
After training at several BJJ gyms, 80/20 stands out for its no-ego atmosphere and clear, well-explained techniques. Dion excels at breaking down complex positions and concepts into steps that any skill level can understand. I was drawn to the gym after a private lesson with Dion, and his teaching style resonated with me so much that I committed to training there, even with a 30-minute commute. With 5 years of experience when I started, my game has improved dramatically since joining.
I've been to three clubs in Perth. In comparison, 80/20 is a very friendly club, with a great culture. The classes are around 10-15 people (but I think the club is currently growing), and Dion (the instructor) states everyone's name at the beginning of the class, which helps the new guys learn names.
The classes start with a warm up, then light drilling then instructions on a them of thew week (e.g. back attacks, or starting from mount). This weekly theme is really helpful because by the end of the week all the little parts are adding together in your head. As someone who has done about 18-24 months of BJJ over the course of 3 years (with breaks) I feel like I remember very little that I've been taught, but this method that is used at 80/20 is very cool and I think unique. I've learn (and recalled during rolling) more in my short time at 80/20 than I have ever before.
Dion is a great teacher, giving advice to the class, important details, paces the instruction with drilling, then more instruction building on the last bit. While drilling or rolling, if you have a question, Dion is happy to explain and jump in to show you what you need to know. Others in the club walk around and help out too (I'm not sure of their official roles, but the culture is supportive).
I don't want to say anything negative about other clubs, so I've omitted that, but I believe 80/20 is a great club out of the three I've been to.
Oh, and as a GI person before coming to 80/20, I thought that no gi would not be for me, but I really really like not having to do the washing every night and to be honest, it's just as fun and good for exercise as gi. I notice also, there is less (i.e. no more) sore knuckles from doing all the GI grips.
Don't hesitate to give 80/20 a go. I'd go back in a heart beat if life circumstances permitted me to go back to training.
Dion is arguably the best BJJ coach in WA, he is completely dedicated to teaching and helping students achieve their goals. 8020 members are all very friendly and always keen to help new people learn.
Highly recommend and worth coming down for a free class.
Dion is a fantastic teacher who delivers his lessons in enjoyable and easy to remember way. The atmosphere of the gym itself is friendly and inviting and everyone you come across will go out of their way to help with any questions you may have or wrinkles that you need to sort with your game. Highly recommended for the premium no-gi experience.
Great place to learn a new skill and meet some awesome people. I have known Dion for over 5 years now and he is one of the most educated and professional coaches I have met. If you want to get good quickly or if you are looking to improve your BJJ then this is a place I would highly recommend. I go there myself when I can and encourage all of my students to as well.
