I cannot say enough good things about this academy, especially the coaches (Shout out to Coach Ash, Coach Ryan, Coach John, Coach Maya, Coach Naomi, and Coach Alexis) and their approach to teaching the kids. They manage to make every single class fun and highly engaging while still instilling important values like respect, discipline, and perseverance. Their patience is unmatched, and they treat every child with genuine care. My kids absolutely love coming to training and leave every session stronger and more confident. If you are looking for a welcoming and safe environment for your children to learn jiu-jitsu, this is absolutely it!
The coaching team here is incredibly professional and dedicated! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the coaches patiently guide you through every single technique and detail. The training atmosphere is amazing with a very supportive and positive community, and the facility is clean and well-equipped. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn BJJ or get in great shape!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at SJJA Hornsby! The coaches are incredibly patient, friendly, and supportive with the kids. They create a fun and positive environment where children can build confidence, learn discipline, and develop new skills.
It’s lovely to see how much the kids enjoy their classes while learning something valuable. Highly recommend SJJA Hornsby to any parents looking for a great place for their children to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
I’m very happy with my daughter’s jiu-jitsu classes. The coaches are highly professional, supportive, and wonderful with the kids. A special mention to Coach Ash, who has such a great connection with children and creates a really positive and encouraging environment.
Since starting jiu-jitsu, I’ve noticed a lovely improvement in my daughter’s confidence. She really enjoys the classes, and it’s been wonderful to see her grow both in confidence and ability. Highly recommended!
Our son has been learning with Ryan for about a year and a half, and we have truly loved the journey! During this time, we have seen him become more focused, more comfortable with physical contact, and able to practise with both method and control. Most importantly, he has learned how to protect both himself and his training partners.
Ryan's class design has been both practical and full of fun. The structure — from warm-up, mini race, student-led demonstrations, focused drills and practice, to sparring — has been clear, engaging, and effective. Beyond the curriculum, we believe a great teacher influences students through their own example, and Ryan is exactly that kind of teacher. The children can feel and learn from his passion and dedication to his work. He lead with principles, always put safety first (which we as parents value highly), and balance light-hearted moments with firm guidance. Another teacher Ash is also very well and manage the class in a very organzied way.
My son Shahed has been training at SJJA Hornsby and he absolutely loves it. Coaches Ash and Ryan are amazing with the kids — they’re patient, motivating, and really know how to make the classes fun while teaching discipline and respect.
Since joining, Shahed’s confidence has grown so much, and he looks forward to every single session. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, and as a parent, it’s great to see him learning valuable skills while enjoying himself. Highly recommend SJJA Hornsby for any family looking for a positive place for their kids to train.
Ryan and Ash have been absolutely amazing with my kids’ progress. The teaching here is truly best in class — the coaches are not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and attentive. They take the time to recognize my child’s strengths and weaknesses, and work patiently to improve them. Their guidance and encouragement have made a huge difference. I couldn’t ask for better teachers for my kid — they are simply the best!
Ryan, Ash and other coaches are awesome, attention to details, clear communication and more importantly developing each kid with a clear strategy and training plan, my kids are loving it here. Very much a family atmosphere with friendly competitions. Can’t recommend enough.
