When my son started Jiu Jitsu earlier this year he struggled greatly with confidence. Over the last few months I have watch him grow and gain confidence while falling in love with exercise! Bella and Fabio and the whole team have created the most beautiful and supportive communities, so much so that I signed up myself! It is such a joy learning a new skill and being able to practice with my son!
Thank you SJJA Coolangatta for all you have done for our family!
We’ve had both our boys at SJJA Cooly for a few years and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our boys have thrived training under the fantastic professors/staff at Cooly. I would absolutely recommend SJJA Cooly for your kids.
We absolutely love SJJA in Cooly. Our 4-year-old has been thriving since starting Jiu-Jitsu and genuinely asks to go every single day.
It’s been so amazing watching his confidence grow, and we especially love the values and skills they teach. The coaches are amazing and so good with kids.
My son looks forward to getting his stripes which I love because it isn't toys / sweets, it is a stripe that he earns all by himself and makes him feel really good and excited.
We are so grateful to have found such a positive and encouraging environment for him. We love being part of it and couldn’t recommend it enough!
SJJA Coolangatta is the absolute gold standard when it comes to BJJ! My 6 and 8 year old kids have been attending for over two years and in that time they have not only learnt so much with their BJJ skills, they are also exposed to an environment that fosters respect, discipline and resilience. The kids have learnt body awareness, self confidence, and self belief, skills they weren’t developing in other sports. Professors Fabio, Felipe and Coach Bella are professional, skilled, knowledgeable, and positive role models for my kids. The number of kids enrolled in their program and the availability of kids classes (6 days a week) speaks for itself… we love this place! 🤍
Benício has been doing jiu-jitsu for two years now, and I can only say how incredibly grateful I am for the care and attention everyone has given him. He didn’t like jiu-jitsu at first, struggled to follow instructions, and had very little discipline, but this journey has helped him so much in building respect, discipline, kindness, and teamwork.
Bella and Fábio are extremely attentive with all the kids. They’ve created a true community where they genuinely care, teach strong values, and provide a safe environment where children feel supported and learn to respect one another.
At their most recent in-house competition, Benício won a gold medal, and that reflects all the dedication and care they put into every child.
I’m truly thankful and would highly recommend it to any parents. Stick with it, encourage your kids, and give them the opportunity to grow and learn.
Highly recommend SJJA Cooly to all adults and kids! My son loves training under professor Fabio and I also enjoy coming to the women’s classes run by Bella. Bella also runs yoga in the gym and as someone who was a beginner, Bella always makes it so easy to follow and I’m finding the classes helpful in improving my balance, flexibility and strength! Her classes are always enjoyable as she is very friendly and always makes the class a great place for both men and females to attend. Also want to mention how clean the mats are, which is something important to me as not all gyms are this clean. Thanks professor Fabio and Bella!! 🙏🏼
I can’t recommend SJJA Coolangatta highly enough! The vibe is absolutely great, welcoming, positive, and supportive from the moment you walk in.
Bella is incredibly helpful and professional, always happy to answer questions and make everyone feel comfortable. Fabio is talented, fair, and does an amazing job with the kids, he handles them with patience, skill, and genuine care.
The gym is always clean and well-maintained, which makes training there even better. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to learn Juijitsu.
The place is simply wonderful! Professor Fábio is extremely knowledgeable in jiu-jitsu and very attentive, both in the adult classes and with my son in the kids’ classes. Without a doubt, the best place to train in the Coolangatta/Tweed Heads area. Highly recommend!
