11/10 The atmosphere and commitment of the staff and students is admirable, the learning is not only limited to jujitsu but the environment we train in contributes to better preparation for dealing with real life stress. BMJJA has helped me deal with my own stress in a healthy and controlled setting and I highly reccomend this gym!

A great martial arts experience This was the second free introductory class I went to with a friend. We were loaned pertect fitting ghees for the classes. It is a welcoming space. We were introduced to some of the basic warm ups amd techniques by the top instructor. We were then paired with senior members of the club (Nina and Jake) to learn particular techniques. The teaching was scafolded and personalised which was great, and our partners were patient, helpful and friendly. :) Importantly, safetly was the top priority. That meant being able to 'tap out' at any time for any reason. A lot of care was given to communicating this and being mindful of new students. There is also an opportunity at the end of each class to experience the beginnings of how to grapple on the mat. The senior members made this a really good learning opportunity. There seems to be a great camaraderie at the club. I'll be going back! Thanks for a great start. 🙌🙏

BMJJA is super clean, family friendly place. I’m a middle age dad holding a job, and I love that I can trust my teammates to look after me on the mats. There’s no crazy ultra competitive young blokes trying to tear arms off here. Instead theres a range of ages and abilities all trying to get better at jiujitsu, with good rolls and camaraderie. Professor Doa is super knowledgeable and creative in his approach to jiujitsu. I strongly recommend checking out this gym.

Our family has had the absolute pleasure of being a part of Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional experience provided by Professor Doa and his dedicated team. With all three of our children taking classes at this state-of-the-art martial arts studio, we have witnessed firsthand the tremendous knowledge, expertise, and care that Professor Doa brings to his teaching. From the very first class, it was evident that Professor Doa is not only a highly skilled martial artist but also an outstanding instructor. His passion for martial arts shines through in his instruction, and he effortlessly imparts his extensive knowledge to his students. Under his guidance, our children have not only learned self-defense techniques but have also gained valuable life skills, including discipline, respect, and perseverance. What sets Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu apart is not only the quality of martial arts instruction but also the welcoming and enriching environment that has been created for the students. We appreciate the efforts made by the studio to offer various extra activities that go beyond martial arts training. The addition of Sunday chess, swimming, library access, and ping pong has added an extra layer of engagement and excitement for our children. It is wonderful to see the studio fostering a sense of camaraderie and offering opportunities for well-rounded development. The studio itself is a testament to Professor Doa's commitment to excellence. The facilities are exceptional, featuring state-of-the-art equipment and a clean, organised space that is conducive to learning. It's clear that great care and attention to detail have been taken in creating an environment that is both safe and inspiring for students of all ages. In addition to the outstanding martial arts instruction and the welcoming environment, the entire team at Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu has consistently demonstrated a genuine care for the well-being of the students. They have always been approachable, responsive, and attentive to the needs and concerns of both the children and parents. This level of commitment and professionalism has further solidified our trust and confidence in the studio. We feel privileged to have found Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu and are incredibly grateful for the impact it has had on our children's lives. This studio is so much more than just a place to learn martial arts. It is a community that fosters personal growth, instills important values, and provides an avenue for physical and mental development. We wholeheartedly recommend Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu to anyone seeking top-notch martial arts instruction in a warm and supportive environment. Thank you, Professor Doa, and the entire team at Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu, for your unwavering dedication and commitment to our children's well-being and development. We are truly grateful for the positive influence you have had on our family.

My 4.5 year old son has been training at the BMJJA for the last 2-3 months and I can already see him improving by leaps and bounds with better stamina, hand-eye coordination amongst others. The intervals at which classes are held is very good (5 days/week) and suits kids of all ages. The coaches/professors are very professional in their conduct and the training mat is kept squeaky clean. I would highly recommend this Academy to anyone who aspires to take up BJJ as a form of martial arts.

Awesome, family friendly dojo The mats are always clean and the people are nice. The general atmosphere of the dojo is calm and respectful and I have always felt perfectly safe there. All the teachers are keen about jiu jitsu and they always pay attention to everyone's well being. They never make you wrestle anyone you aren't comfortable with. By the way, as well as the mixed adults' classes, there are also women's only classes.

I started at BMJJA to improve my physical health, but quickly discovered that it transcends way beyond health and fitness. Until now, I have never been a part of any place with such a strong sense of community. It is much more than just a jiu jitsu gym. BMJJA has played a huge role in making me who I am today. I have made life-long friends here, developed valuable skills, patience, mental strength, and a sense of belonging. It has pushed me to challenge myself both mentally and physically. Starting jiu jitsu as a woman can be intimidating, but from day one you are welcomed in with open arms in an environment where we feel safe, respected, and comfortable at all times. (well, not always comfortable.. but you know what I mean!) I am now a kids coach at BMJJA. It is incredibly rewarding to see the kids enjoying their time on the mats, learning both techniques and life skills, building confidence and resilience, and making like-minded friends in a supportive community. I couldn’t recommend this more for both kids and adults. They say that jiu jitsu changes your life.. in my experience, I believe this is absolutely true!

Something Extraordinary My review is 100% biased. As his life partner for more than two decades, I have witnessed Professor Doa’s profound transformation, from a desk bound IT guy, to a BBJ black belt, now founding his own Academy. He brings his own transformative story to his practice and teaching of BJJ with a sense of deep gratitude and philosophical reflection emphasising playfulness and respectful inclusivity. I am fortunate indeed to learn BJJ in this Academy.
