About Grappling Bros Belconnen - GFTeam Canberra ACT
Grappling Bros Belconnen, part of the GFTeam Canberra family, is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo academy on Walder Street in Canberra's north. The school teaches grappling as both a martial art and a life skill, welcoming everyone from curious first-timers to experienced competitors onto its mats.
Families are central to the Belconnen community, and parents repeatedly describe it as inclusive, safe and welcoming. The kids' programs in particular earn glowing feedback for building confidence, resilience and respect, with coaches noted for their patience and genuine investment in each student. Adults find a structured path through fundamentals and advanced technique across gi, no-gi and self-defence.
Grounded in the values of discipline, humility and respect, Grappling Bros aims to be more than a gym — a place where children and adults alike develop real skills, lasting friendships and a sense of belonging. For Belconnen locals wanting to start jiu-jitsu or judo in a supportive environment, it offers an approachable and highly regarded home for training.
