Having trained at many clubs in Australia and overseas, BGC is at the top fostering friendly, safe and respectful learning and training environment. Matt and the team are very knowledgeable across both Judo and BJJ, dedicated and cater for all skills, abilities. Highly recommended whether looking to try something new, maintain fitness, train socially, or compete.
Beyond Grappling Club is a great place to train Judo and BJJ. It has a welcoming, relaxed culture and skilled, knowledgeable coaches. I highly recommend!
Amazing judo club with great coaches and a great atmosphere. The coaching is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners right through to advanced and competitive players. Head coach Matt is knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely wants to see everyone improve.
I’ve really enjoyed training at Beyond Grappling and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to start judo or improve their skills
If you're looking for high quality tuition in a friendly, welcoming environment then you should definitely check this club out. Exceptional with kids, including little ones, and great for adults too. Bjj and judo with a range of excellent coaches and different training times to fit around work or school. Lovely club, lovely people. If you're on the fence about starting, give the free trial a go. You'll have fun and learn loads!
Beyond grappling offers some of the highest quality grappling not only in the state but nationwide with a mixture of people from first class beginners to international competitors.
Matt has poured an incredible amount of time and dedication not only into deep detail and technicality of his teachings but also importantly curating the culture of the club.
Facilities are fantastic with generous mat space, climate controlled environment, tidy amenities and as a member, full access to a online fundamentals course personally put together by Matt himself, 3 decades of experience, former Olympian and former Oceania and national champion.
I have been training at Beyond Grappling for almost two years. A friend whose son trained at the club encouraged me to attend during a particularly difficult period in my life. I started at 36 with no martial arts experience and very little idea of what to expect.
From the beginning, I found the club welcoming and supportive. Beginners are treated with patience and respect, while more experienced members are generous with their knowledge. There is a genuine sense that everyone is there to help one another improve.
What has struck me most is the balance between the physical, intellectual and character-building dimensions of Judo. Matt and the coaching team teach strong technical foundations, but the lessons extend beyond learning how to throw or grapple. Training also develops courage, humility, resilience, discipline and respect for others.
The principles Matt writes and speaks about—facing difficulty, continuing to learn and helping others improve—are reflected in the way he runs the dojo. He has built a serious training environment without making it intimidating or driven by ego.
Someone once told me that, for a school project describing their idea of an ideal community, they included training at Beyond Grappling. After almost two years here, I understand why. It is much more than a place to learn throws. It is a place where people become stronger, more capable and more connected to others.
My son started at BGC just over two years ago and it's been excellent for him and his development. His confidence, fitness and coordination are all up (on and off the mat), and he enjoys each session.
The BGC coaches are the enablers for this. They are so friendly and patient, keeping it fun while still teaching proper technique and respect. Every kid feels welcome.
Highly recommend to any parent thinking about judo for their child (or themselves)!
Matt runs an awesome club!
My son has been there for seven years now and competes with the Australian judo team and has also won multiple bbj comps.
Great culture and support through everyone that is with the club.
Definitely recommend it for any new comers!
