ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTORS

Kalil and Alex met in Abu Dhabi in 2013, where they worked together coaching the UAE National team. Four years later they both found each other again in Australia, where they reached the natural conclusion that they must combine over 30 years’ experience of coaching and competing adults and kids in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on the world stage, to form one of Australia’s most formidable Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academies; ‘Clube de Lutas’.

The essence of ‘Clube de Lutas’ is as the name suggests (club of fights), a club where a number of different fighting and martial arts disciplines can exchange, train and grow together, to perfect their craft and better themselves. This reflects the origin and spirit in which the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was conceived.

Both Kalil and Alex have a deeply held respect for the interconnectedness and of the grappling arts, and believe in the power of continual learning, shared knowledge and growth for an individual and for a sport.

CLASSES

★ Kids / Youth BJJ & Self Defence

Kids 1 (3-6 years)

A tailored class for our tiniest students focused on developing gross motor skills & encouraging teamwork. Smaller class sizes and multiple coaches ensure that your child gets the attention they need. Parents who train at our gym are welcome to join the class to help their child feel more comfortable. This is a fun and fast paced class to keep those tiny ones moving & happy.

Kids 2 (7-10 years)

Our kid’s program will see students exploring the fundamentals of jiu jitsu and learning essential self-defence principles. Your child will develop strength, coordination and most importantly the confidence to face difficult situations that may arise. There is a limited number of submissions taught in this program under strict supervision to ensure the safety of all our students.

Juniors (10-13 years)

Similar to the kid’s program, our youth classes explore the fundamentals of jiu jitsu and teach effective self-defence techniques. Students will experience an increased number of submissions to prepare them to move onto the adult’s program when our coaches deem they are ready.

We believe that martial arts can be used as a tool to help our students comprehend important values such as:

○ Respect

○ Discipline

○ Perseverance

○ Confidence

As well as getting the kids moving, we also engage in regular discussion with our students to show them how they can use the skills and values learnt in class during their every day life. We explore street safety, bullying and interpersonal relationships in a safe and non-judgemental environment. We encourage parents to reach out to our coaches if there is any subject they would like to be discussed or if they need help getting through to students. We believe it is important for coaches and parents to work together to help our students become the best people they can be.

★ Family Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Develop a healthy relationship with your child and get involved in their jiu jitsu journey.

Family BJJ is an opportunity for our younger students to train with their adult family members. Classes are structured the same as our Children’s BJJ classes and adults who are members of the club are free to jump in. Students with family who are not members may bring them in for a complimentary one-off class, after which, casual rates apply.

We encourage you to learn the games and drills used in class and apply them at home where learning and bonding is developed in a healthy, fun, family environment.
