About Renegade BJJ
Renegade BJJ is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Kensington built around a welcoming, community-first culture that members consistently describe as full of love and acceptance. Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the very first time or returning after a long break, the academy is structured to meet you where you are and grow your skills from the ground up.
The academy runs a deep, well-supported program led by experienced black-belt instructors, with dedicated pathways for complete beginners, coloured belts, competitors and advanced practitioners. Separate kids' programs and women-only workshops mean there is a place for almost everyone in the family, while the supportive higher belts make rolling approachable rather than intimidating.
With a large, clean mat space and a friendly, knowledgeable team, Renegade has earned a reputation as one of Melbourne's standout grappling schools. The focus stays firmly on technique, steady progression and looking after one another, making it a genuine destination for anyone serious about learning jiu-jitsu in Melbourne's inner north-west.
