I had an amazing experience at the Jiu-Jitsu gym I visited during my trip to Sydney. It was meaningful to be able to train in a new environment. We shared techniques each other and had fun rolling together. The instructor’s detailed guidance was impressive and left a lasting impression on me.👍 Andy - From Southkorea😍

I had an exceptional experience at Higher Jiu Jitsu! I was traveling through Sydney and wanted to get a few rolls in. Sensei John responded back to my email quickly and invited me in. He was friendly, professional and a great instructor. Additionally the other students were welcoming, skilled and the facility was spotless. I’m grateful for their hospitality and hope to make it through in the future. I highly recommend this school.

Trained today from out of town (I’m Canadian). First time at this gym, coach John and the other students were very welcoming and helped me get set up with a rental gi and everything I needed. Good technical instruction and lots of help from the coach and other students. Great place to train, I highly recommend for first timers or for higher belts!
