What a great community to be apart of. Our 4 yo has really grown in confidence, coordination and listening - all whilst having fun! The team at Brookvale are beautifully patient, engaging and supportive. Couldn’t be happier with our choice to join in.
Many thanks to Fernando and Eddie for their absolutely exceptional job in teaching Jiu Jitsu to little kids! They both are rare gems who take care and support every child as their own one.
Their patience, dedication, encouragement, and ability to make kids feel comfortable and enjoy classes are phenomenal.
We are very lucky and grateful that our little son is a part of SJJA Brookvale and learns Jiu Jitsu with Fernando and the team!
Could not be happier with SJJA Brookvale. My daughter has been doing sessions there for the last 8 months and her strength and focus have skyrocketed. Coach Fernando and Eddy are the absolute best. They made her feel comfortable immediately. I also love the cultural touch of teaching the kids to count and name animals in Portuguese. 10/10, highly recommend!
I always feel at home when i enter the gym and its a whole entire different life with all my freinds that I only know from SJJA i have been training since i was 5 and it has been one of my favorite experiences
I had the pleasure of training at Bruno Alves SJJA academy for several years, where I earned my purple belt. Now, my two boys, aged 7 and 9, are part of the BJJ program here. The classes are not only engaging and fun, but also provide a great opportunity for kids to develop their focus, discipline, and social skills. Coaches Fernando and Eddie are exceptional, making a concerted effort to engage each child while refining their skills. I've witnessed significant growth in confidence among my kids and their peers since joining this community. I highly recommend Sharp Jiu Jitsu Academy in Brookvale for both kids and adults!
Huge thanks to the team at SJJA Brookvale for such a warm welcome! As a visitor from another gym, I really appreciated the inclusive vibe. The head coach's instruction was spot on, and the mats were great to train on. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area again!
Our daughter Elke (11) and son Axel (7) absolutely love training at SJJA Brookvale.
The coaches are incredibly patient, encouraging, and attentive, creating a supportive environment where kids feel confident to learn and grow. The classes strike the perfect balance between fitness, fun, and discipline, and we’ve seen a real improvement in both their confidence and focus.
What really stands out is the strong sense of community. It genuinely feels like a family, where the values of jiu-jitsu, respect, calmness, and control are not only taught but lived every day.
We couldn’t recommend SJJA Brookvale more highly for any family looking to get their kids or themselves involved in a positive and empowering activity.
Our 6-year-old son Axel absolutely loves his time at SJJA in Brookvale! The instructors are fantastic — patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping the kids grow both on and off the mats.
Since starting Jiu-Jitsu, we’ve seen such a big change in Axel — his confidence, focus, and discipline have all grown so much. He’s proud of what he’s learning, and we’re so grateful for the positive environment the team has created.
Highly recommend SJJA to any parents looking for a place where their kids can build strength, respect, and resilience while having an awesome time! 🥋
SJJA Brookvale is one of the best BJJ centers in Northern beaches. My son has been attending 3 to 4 times weekly for the past year and half and I've seen a real transformation in his skills, physical body and confidence. The coaches, Pablo and the co-coaches, are precise, firm, and friendly. They take the time to teach each student individually and make sure they are getting the most out of their training. The atmosphere at the gym is very welcoming and respectful. More advanced kids are always willing to help out the newcomers, and there is a real sense of community among the students. I highly recommend SJJA Brookvale to anyone looking to learn BJJ in a fun and supportive environment.
