About Eastside Jiu Jitsu
Eastside Jiu Jitsu is a welcoming Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Murrumbeena where kids and adults train side by side in a friendly, ego-free environment. Built on a Carlson Gracie lineage, the academy combines genuine technical depth with a community-first culture that puts new members at ease from day one.
The academy offers a full curriculum spanning Gi and No-Gi, with dedicated programs for children, teens and adults, plus Combat Jiu-Jitsu and regular Open Mat sessions. Classes are described as fun but structured, suitable for complete beginners through to experienced grapplers, and a Gi loan service makes it easy to try training before investing in your own kit.
Members consistently highlight instructors who are highly skilled yet patient, taking the time to ensure everyone feels supported, safe and challenged at the right level. The family-like atmosphere, respectful culture and well-rounded timetable make it a standout for Murrumbeena locals and surrounding suburbs. Whether you are chasing self-defence, fitness, competition or simply a great community to be part of, Eastside Jiu Jitsu offers a sustainable, enjoyable place to learn.
