"Dropped in today for my first ever class, and felt immediately comfortable. The teacher/master that ran the fundamentals class was brilliant, ensuring that everyone either new or a regular had a enjoyable time whilst learning. A great atmosphere, everyone i met was friendly and helpful. I look forward to doing more classes going forward. Special mention to Amy who got me all set up and ready to get amongst it. Here we go! :)"
"The best BJJ gym in town! Super friendly, clean facilities and they offer a wide variety and times for classes. I can always fit in a training session any day of the week! I highly recommend it for any level, including women and children!"
"Nice and challenging class. All the people are so nice. I really enjoy my first free class. I will continue to do it and have more fun."
"Amazing facilities, lovely people and environment to train in. Really helpful for all those who are just beginning in the gentle art! Everyone is so inviting and hospitable. The professors and trainers are all amazing. Definitely worth it to give it a go. Amy was the first instructor I did privates with and she was amazing. Wow, such a great teacher! - She really introduced me to the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu. Currently Im training with Professor Diogo.. he is a machine, getting me ready for my competitions and taking me on from a 2 stripe white belt to now a blue belt and still going. The head owner Mario is a great Professor and person, he has done a fantastic job with the gym, instructors and students. I couldn't recommend this team enough. If you're in Sydney this gym is a must."
"This place is absolutely amazing!!! The staff is the most professional and friendly, everything is spotless clean, and the Jiu Jitsu is top notch!!!!"
"Started training about 3 years ago, shortly after my daughter started mini champs kids classes, and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. All teachers and members are super friendly, helpful and supportive in every possible way. Very extensive time tables for adults, women only & kids classes just cater for anyone even on the busiest schedule. Can't recommend myBJJ highly enough!"
"My kid's been here for school holidays camp and a parents night out and loved it. Keeps asking to come back. Lilly is amazing with kids."
"Fantastic place to train with lots of classes to choose from. Good atmosphere, great teachers/masters - everyone is friendly and helpful. Both my kids love training here as the kids' classes are fun while teaching them great jiu jitsu skills at the same time. High recommended."
"I have been training at MyBJJ for nearly a year, the masters, coaches and students are all helpful. Awesome place to train if your looking to get fit, compete or learn self defence through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
"I tried a few schools before signing up with MyBJJ. As soon as I tried my first class with them 2 months ago, I knew they were the school for me. I have loved training with them every moment since. I find the team to be completely professional, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The other students are also amazing. MyBJJ have really created a humble, fun and positive school. I love it! Can't recommend it enough."
"I dropped in for a fundamentals class and enjoyed it a lot. Patient and knowledgeable coaches. Friendly staff."
"Learning BJJ has been the one thing that has had the biggest positive impact in my life. All the instructors are amazing and make it feel like a family. It is literally for everyone!"
"MYBJJ has Amazing Professors, Coaches and is a very friendly, educative and high-level place to train BJJ, kickboxing or MMA."
"I have trained at some of the best training facilities around the world and I would have to say myBJJ is the most professional facility I have been to. Training here has completely changed my life and altered my bad habits of eating junk food to now more healthy choices. It has totally given me the shot of confidence that I needed so that I can positively change my life in a healthy and balanced manner. It has completely made my life better at work and at home and gives me the ability to release my stress through exercise and applying technique and always continuously learning the art of jiu jitsu. The staff are amazing, generous and extremely caring as they will always recognise you, and remember your name as other places that I have been to do not! Thank you for everything myBJJ team!"
"myBJJ Team is very much like a family. When I started as a white belt in 2011 I was very humbled by the help and support on techniques by the higher belt training partners.
It is an myBJJ etiquette which I have now passed on to white belts and beginners that I've trained with and hopefully they will do the same.. The head instructor Mario is world class and very much a friend to all students. Mario and all myBJJ instructors will frequently roll with students and encourage everyone to constantly improve.
Conclusion, myBJJ Team is suitable for High level competitors or beginners just wishing to learn self defence techniques Old,young,male or female."
"Being training there since Feb 2015 and find the space they create truly enjoyable. Instructors are always guiding your development. More senior students help you growth. This place is without ego. Professor Mario detailed instructor always looking at how you can make minor changes for maximum growth. Ricardo coaching in class and his focus on technique is second to none. I also do weekly private one-on-one classes with Sal (purple belt) and this has advanced my skills. All in all after a few trials at other places this is an academy where you feel at home in."
"This is a great club! Been training there for years and am proud to call it a second home. Mario is a humble and welcoming instructor with years of training and competition experience – a top bloke. With a diversity of classes and experience levels, you will feel at home if you are a beginner or a black belt. Either way, you will walk out feeling like you've had a good work out. Most importantly, all the guys and girls at the club are friendly and willing to help you learn and progress. Have made many mates there over the last few years, and look forward to making many more."
"I've trained at this place for a couple of years now. All the staff are really friendly and professional. Professor Mario Yokoyama is world class - the best I've trained with in Australia. myBJJ also has the most flexible timetable - which is why I chose to train here in the first place. 10/10. If you're in the Sydney area, you need to check it out."
"I've been rolling at myBJJ for the past few months, the tutelage of the school under the guidance of Prof. Mario Yokoyama is exemplified in the name itself. myBJJ. The choice to make his own initials subservient to that of the capitalised Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the many ways Prof. Yokoyama demonstrates his dedication to his school and his students. The art above ego mentality is further personified by the instructors I've had the honour to be trained under, Prof. Ricardo, Coaches Salvador, Werique, Morgan and Amy."
"Their commitment to teaching, technical prowess and amiable personalities have built a solid community. A community that also includes inter-generational family of jiu-jitsuka and pedigree champions at competitive levels. Perhaps most importantly, a community formed by the instructors and students that has made me feel welcomed since the first day I stepped onto the mats."
"What I love about the sport of BJJ and in particular the myBJJ Team is the ability to continue safe and fun training into my middle age. I met Mario Yokoyama 7 years ago and through his guidance and support managed to train safely and consistently. The team at myBJJ are motivational and supportive and regularly compete at International level here in Australia and Worldwide. I would not hesitate to recommend the school to young and old, beginner to champion athlete."
"myBJJ is the most professional martial arts school I have encountered in over 40 years of training in the martial arts. With instruction from an authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu black belt and a team of inspiring coaches it is no wonder the vibe on the mats is so positive." Thoroughly recommended!!!."
