This is the best BJJ gym!
Instructors are fantastic led by Professor Mota who brings a lifetime of passion, skills and knowledge every single day.
Very inclusive and friendly environment.
Highly recommended to Men, women, boys and girls of all ages.
Just show up and you won’t regret it!
I cannot recommend Professor Antonio and Mota-Vation highly enough. If you’re new to BJJ you’ll find an incredibly welcoming community and great coaches. If you’ve already got experience you’ll find coaching that will continue to improve your game and a very high standard of training partners!
I just moved to Brisbane and tried a couple BJJ spots until I found Mota-vation. Instantly wanted to keep coming as much as possible, and was very much welcomed by both Antonio and Jeremy. Their knowledge and passion for the sport is great, especially Antonio’s ability to simplify complex motions and movements. Can’t recommend more, and the mats are the best quality I’ve ever rolled on. OSS 🤙
I love training at Mota-vation! I joined at a time when I was very new to both Brisbane and the sport. From the moment I walked in I was welcomed with so many friendly faces. It has become such an amazing place to train while also building an incredible community with some of the most amazing people. As a female new to the sport I was quite nervous however that quickly disappeared once I started training and got to know everyone. Professor Antonio is such an incredible teacher that you walk away both excited to try the new move while also questioning if that’s something you can actually do. 😂 He is supportive and kind and is always there pushing you to strive for more while having fun. I high respect Professor and all he does for us! It is such a safe space to grow and learn and with so many higher belts willing to help you never feel ashamed of your limited knowledge but rather inspired of all the potential yet to be achieved.
I've been training with Mota-vation BJJ for over two years and can vouch for the quality of training and guidance under Professor Antonio. His passion to teach and dedication to BJJ makes for a nurturing training environment whether you want to compete or just train for fun and fitness. Highly recommend.
I've been training at Atos with Antonio for over 3 years an it's hard to put into words how much I've learnt and built confidence in martial arts. The calibre of training and community here is incredible and training is always the highlight of my week. Can't recommend enough.
Our family have enjoyed training with Professor Antonio for over twelve years now. With all four of our children, Professor Antonio has provided the perfect combination of motivation and challenge alongside support and nurture. Two of our sons have taken their BJJ training to the competition circuit and have excelled in their divisions with Professor Antonio mentoring and coaching them the whole way. Our daughter (now 20 years old) has a strong foundation in self-defence and has developed resilience and confidence through her BJJ training, while our four year old son enjoys the mix of playfulness and fun that also come with Professor Antonio’s classes. We will be eternally grateful for the incredible level of care and dedication that Professor Antonio provides.
As a female training in a largely male dominated sport, I have always felt welcome, safe and supported with Professor Antonio and the community at the academy. As well as being a great opportunity to enjoy a sport alongside my kids, knowing self-defence skills has been a fantastic life skill and a fun way to stay healthy.
Top facilities at the academy - always kept immaculately clean - and a comfortable and pleasant space to train in. Professor Antonia has attracted an amazing community of positive, welcoming individuals and families.
Professor Antonio has fostered a great community with a diverse demographic, which for us is key for our kids as they have such valuable role models within the academy .All six of us have developed a resilience and an ability to be comfortable when things are uncomfortable through practicing Brazillian Jujitsu.
Professor Antonio’s organic style of running his classes, particularly the kids’ classes, is something that has always resonated with us. His ability to read the children so that he can encourage them to grow in their abilities, while still navigating the complexity of emotions is incredible. The kids always leave the mat with a sense of fun and positivity; Professor Antonio has been a fantastic role model for our sons.
My daughter loved training at Atos BJJ.
Professor Antonio is brilliant with kids & has a great way of engaging them.
Affordable, fun sport in a safe environment, plus I could stay to watch.
Really great customer service too, no problems, great experience.
Training here for over a year now and absolutely love it. Professor Antonio is super motivating and extremely knowledgable. Very welcoming culture. Everyone trains hard, but also thoughtfully helps each other to improve.
Love the hard rolls and good friends!
Really recommend training here.
EDIT:
Training here for two years now. All comments from previous review still hold!
One thing I will add is that there is a philosophy Antonio constantly repeats which I really, really admire;
"We get better when we all get better."
Don't think any statement could be truer. Jiu jitsu is an evolutionary arms race, your training partners improvements to attack, force your defence to improve. Your improvements to defence, force your opponents attack to improve. And so on.
Knowing this, and it being the core philosophy of the gym, really keeps egos in check and I think makes good camaraderie.
Train!
P.S. I'm second from the left, Antonio to my right :)
