Train in another local gym in Sydney amd stopped by for their open mat. Off the bat, really friendly staff and welcoming. Great mat space and left absolutely shattered. Great training room. Cant recommend enough
I have loved training at garage grappling. It’s such an amazing gym that’s very friendly to beginners where not only the coaches but other guys you roll with will look after you, keep you safe, while challenging you and teaching you. This gym has a really tight community and you will definitely make friends and feel comfortable in every session. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Super friendly and helpful instructors, and a very high level of training that cater from beginners all the way up.
Great Gym, great coaches great people and nice vibes. Definitely gym to checkout and the coaches are high levels as well :)
I moved from the UK to Bondi and was in search of a local gym to train NoGi Jiu-Jitsu and stumbled on Garage Grappling. After my free trial session, I was sold and signed up. The gym has a great mix of regular competitors and hobbyists. There's also a nice range of of belts & weight match ups. Everyone here is welcoming and the gym owner Gabi does a great job of running the gym. She particularly doesn't mess around with any skin infections and is hawk eye'd at spotting them. Additionally, all of the coaches at Garage are very good. The only downside to this gym which I feel like I should mention is that it didn't have a shower, at least when I was still a member. So I would either rush home after training or use the showers to a nearby gym that I was a member of. Would definitely still be training here if I hadn't moved back to London! Ooos
Best jiu jitsu gym in town. Amazing mat space. Best vibes. I’ve been coming to this gym for many years and now my child attends the kids classes. It’s trully a family here. On and off the mats. Oss
I've trained at many BJJ gyms over the years, and Garage Grappling stands out for one key reason: the culture. The instructors are genuinely invested in your progress—whether you're just starting out or have years on the mats, they make sure you’re improving every session. It’s a gym where men, women, and kids all thrive. The vibe is welcoming, the training is high-quality, and there’s a real focus on making sure everyone enjoys the journey. If you're looking for a place where you can train hard, have fun, and feel part of something—this is it.
I trained here for 2 years when I lived in Sydney and also received my blue belt here before I returned to Ireland. It was such a great experience training at Garage Grappling from the teaching to the friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the gym, especially as a female in the sport. There’s so many different levels to train with and learn from which I haven’t found is as common in other gyms. I would recommend anyone living in the eastern suburbs to check out Garage Grappling!
The best jiujitsu gym! Highly recommend training at Garage Grappling! I’ve been training here for many years, it has a high level of jiujitsu, excellent instructors and a great atmosphere. Very welcoming for everyone, beginners and advanced.
