My son has been training at Garra BJJ for 2 years and I've seen such a transformation in his confidence and happiness. The team at Garra are a friendly, respectful and wonderful community. So glad we found them. I highly recommend Garra BJJ.
My first time participating in combat sports, and I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and warm welcome than from the team at Garra. Exceptional people with an amazing community! Love coming here.
The best place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Very professional and helpfull Garra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's trainers and our Professors Lucas, Anton and Eduardo Diaz are very supportive with all the studends.
I strongly recommend this Academy to anybody considering Jiu-Jitsu for sport and fitness.
Update! I am still in and I will keep going!

I trained here for 2 weeks while traveling in Australia, and it was an incredible experience. As a female practitioner without much mat time, I was initially worried, but the members and coaches were all super welcoming and always eager to help with techniques.
The women's class on Wednesdays was extremely helpful, and I even managed to overcome my fear of No-Gi, which gave me a huge confidence boost. If you're ever in Brisbane even if you're a woman hesitant to start. I highly recommend visiting this gym.
Amazing gym with a great atmosphere! Professor Lucas is an excellent coach, and Chris and Eddie are always supportive and friendly. I’ve learned so much training here. Highly recommend! 🥋
Just started training to this gym and the place it’s amazing.
Coaches are always available to answer all my question,they are well prepared and classes are always been amazing.
Students are always very helpful and polite.
Great if you are a beginner or a veteran.
I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here for a while now and honestly, I couldn’t recommend it more. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming and supportive, no matter your experience level. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve—not just technically, but mentally as well.
Every session is a great balance of learning, drilling, and live rolling, so you always leave feeling like you’ve progressed. It’s challenging, but in the best way possible, and it keeps me coming back consistently.
What really stands out is the community. Everyone pushes each other to get better, but there’s also a strong sense of respect and camaraderie on the mats. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or competition, this is an amazing place to train.
If you’re thinking about starting Jiu Jitsu, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a go—you won’t regret it
A huge shout-out to all the amazing coaches at GARRA BJJ who, over the past 18 months, have not only equipped me with self-defense skills but also helped me improve my mental health, resilience, and accountability. From day one, I’ve felt like part of the GARRA family. A special thanks to Eduardo Dias for your invaluable mentorship and constant support throughout this journey. I’ve explored many sports over the years—skateboarding, surfing, climbing—but nothing compares to the unique challenge and camaraderie of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Big thanks to Nathan, Anton, Lucas, Chris for the top-notch lessons!

I have been at Garra for just over 18 months, and my only regret is not starting here earlier. Each coach has their own unique perspective and teaching style, giving you the tools to develop your own approach. The gym has an incredibly supportive atmosphere, with everyone committed to helping each other improve both on and off the mats. If you are looking at starting BJJ I couldn’t recommend Garra enough!
I had the privilege to train at Garra Kelvin Grove for a few months earlier this year. Great students, and teachers, great atmosphere and clean gym. You get the opportunity to roll with lots of different grades and skill levels.
In classes, I liked the considerable attention to the philosophy and reasoning to positioning and moves rather than just the techniques themselves. So there is opportunity to try to generalise specific techniques to try to make them work across a broader range.
I look forward to training here again the next time I am back in Brisbane.
The jiu-jitsu class is fantastic! The coach is great with kids and knows a lot about the techniques. My child enjoys the classes and has improved his behavior since starting. Highly recommend this class for anyone with kids interested in jiu-jitsu!
Been training here since 2017. This gym was a crucial part of growing up when I was younger, and it’s a great space of socialisation. It helps so much with my fitness, mental well being, and growth of character. Surrounded by great gym crowd and top level coaches. They’re Actively invested in their members 100%. Give it a go👍
