About Perkins Jiu Jitsu
Perkins Jiu Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club in Nunawading that has built a reputation as one of the most welcoming and well-coached mats in Melbourne's east. Established in 2010, it draws people in not just for the training but for the friendly, supportive atmosphere members describe again and again.
The club welcomes anyone training for fitness, self-defence, competition or simply social connection, and is praised as a great fit for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Sessions are described as challenging, safe and genuinely fun, with knowledgeable coaches who become both mentors and friends over time.
Alongside the BJJ mats, the gym is equipped for strength work, giving members the option to build conditioning around their grappling. In Melbourne's east, Perkins Jiu Jitsu stands out for combining serious, technical instruction with an inclusive, family-like culture — the kind of place where you can challenge yourself at a new activity and quickly feel like you belong. The consistent five-star feedback reflects a tight, friendly community on and off the mats.
