The absolute best jujitsu gym. Renato is an amazing instructor and is constantly observing and giving feedback with your technique. He keeps the gym a safe and welcoming space. I also recommend the only women’s classes where Brooke is usually guiding them. Brooke is such an inspiring, motivating and kind instructor. Couldn’t recommend Chave De Ouro highly enough!
Great academy with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Renato is an excellent instructor who makes everyone feel comfortable, especially beginners. The gym is very spacious, offers plenty of classes throughout the week, and is a great place to learn and improve your Jiu-Jitsu. Highly recommended!
Great gym - I trained there for the first 18 months of my BJJ journey and loved their training methods. The head coach has designed the fundamentals program to work in blocks, so you work in one position for 4-6 weeks before moving onto the next, this is super beneficial when starting off BJJ as learning multiple random moves each session can be very confusing. Welcoming gym, amazing coaches, if you’re in Canberra train here!
My son and I have been training here for the past two years, and we both absolutely love it. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping everyone improve, no matter their experience level. The gym has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and they've made our whole family feel at home from day one. It's been an amazing place for us to learn, grow, and be part of a great community. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start or continue their jiu-jitsu journey.
I have trained at CDO from being an absolute beginner to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Renato and Mariana have built a wonderful academy that caters from children to adults and offers classes to all levels. I have felt nothing but welcomed and supported at all levels of my journey with the sport. It is an exceptional community and I appreciate the care and dedication they show for all their athletes - particularly as a woman participating in the sport. All classes and techniques are taught with consideration for the level of the athlete. There is a strong supportive and safe culture throughout the academy which makes it a joy to train and progress here.
I’ve been training at Chave de Ouro under Head Coach Renato and couldn’t recommend the academy more highly. Renato is an exceptional coach who creates a welcoming environment while maintaining a high standard of teaching. His attention to detail, patience, and ability to break down techniques make every class valuable, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner.
The culture at the academy is fantastic. Everyone is respectful, supportive, and genuinely wants to help each other improve. There’s a great balance of hard training and camaraderie, making it a place you look forward to coming back to each week.
If you’re looking for a BJJ academy with world-class instruction, a friendly atmosphere, and a coach who genuinely cares about his students’ progress, Chave de Ouro is the place to train. Highly recommended.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Chave de Ouro BJJ.
Our son Leo trains here twice a week and absolutely loves it. From day one, Renato and the team have created an environment that is welcoming, supportive, disciplined and incredibly positive. The coaching is outstanding, with a genuine focus not only on developing Jiu-Jitsu skills, but also on building confidence, respect, resilience and good character.
What really sets this academy apart is the community. Everyone is friendly, encouraging and willing to help, making both kids and parents feel like part of the family. It’s clear that a lot of effort goes into creating a culture where students can learn, challenge themselves and enjoy being part of something special.
We’ve seen Leo grow in confidence, fitness and self-belief since joining, and he genuinely looks forward to every class.
If you’re considering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for yourself or your children, I cannot recommend Chave de Ouro BJJ highly enough. An exceptional academy with exceptional people.
My family and I have been training at Chave de Ouro for many years, and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The adult classes are fantastic, with knowledgeable coaches and a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel part of the team.
What really sets this gym apart is the incredible community. Everyone is supportive, friendly, and genuinely wants to see each other succeed.
The kids’ program is also outstanding. The coaches are amazing with the children, teaching them valuable skills, confidence, discipline, and respect while making every class fun and engaging.
We are so grateful to be part of the Chave de Ouro family and highly recommend it to anyone looking to start or continue their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey.
Environment is great, lot's of clored belts that are respectful, polite and humble. Coach is cool and chill, approachable. The school ground is clean and tidy.
Had my first class today, and I’m really happy with my choice. I was welcomed warmly, the class was excellent, and the facility is spotless, well-maintained, and professional. Great environment.
Highly recommend!
This organisation is the best. Very professional in all aspects. They cultivate a very enriching and humble environment, which is perfect for a newbie like me. I am sure more experienced campaigners will get an immense amount from training as well.
Chave De Ouro is a wonderful school, and our son has had the most enriching experience there. We are moving interstate and know it'll be a challenge to find another place that has such a high standard and high level of encouragement for kids. Also, the timetable was ideal for us. Highly recommend to all. Thank you Renato and team for all of your dedication and enthusiasm.
What an absolute joke, won’t pick up your call or return your call for an enquiry. Asked about causal pass and said they don’t do casual. How are visitors supposed to keep consistent with their practice?
