Elements Grappling Academy

Elements Grappling Academy is a Braddon-based martial arts and grappling gym just minutes from Canberra's city centre. Built around Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it has grown into a broad grappling and combat-sports academy where beginners and experienced competitors train side by side in a notably welcoming, supportive atmosphere.

The academy runs a deep weekly program that goes well beyond the mats, spanning BJJ, judo, freestyle wrestling, striking for MMA, capoeira, Yoga for BJJ and dedicated strength and conditioning for grapplers. Open seven days a week with classes before work, at lunch, after hours and on weekends, it is set up to fit training around a busy Canberra schedule.

Visitors and members repeatedly praise the relaxed, ego-free culture and the patience of the coaching team, who go out of their way to make first-timers feel comfortable and to keep technique sharp. With a perfect Google rating and a steady flow of drop-ins from interstate, Elements has earned a reputation as one of the friendliest and most technically respected grappling rooms in the Braddon area for anyone curious about jiu jitsu or grappling more broadly.
