About GFT Rockingham
GFT Rockingham is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy bringing the renowned GFTeam lineage to the southern suburbs of Perth. Training out of Leach Crescent, the club has built a reputation for a family-oriented, genuinely welcoming culture where everyone from young children to adults feels valued, supported and encouraged regardless of their starting skill level.
The academy is anchored by world-class instruction and a strong emphasis on respect both on and off the mats. Students consistently describe being treated like a person rather than a number, with techniques broken down clearly so beginners can follow along and steadily build their confidence. The atmosphere blends serious technical development with a supportive community spirit.
Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the very first time or you are a seasoned grappler chasing competition goals, GFT Rockingham aims to meet you where you are. The Rockingham base makes it a convenient home for families across the coastal corridor looking to grow in fitness, discipline and self-defence together.
