About Shibusa Jiu Jitsu Studio
Shibusa Jiu Jitsu Studio is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Belconnen built on community, technique and a genuinely welcoming culture. Founded and led by head coach Shaher alongside instructor Allen, the studio has earned a loyal following of members who describe it as far more than a gym, a strong, supportive community where everyone looks out for each other.
Training is structured to suit every stage of the journey, with dedicated beginner, intermediate and advanced classes, plus sparring, open mat sessions and private lessons. Newcomers are made to feel at ease from day one, while more experienced and competing grapplers are still challenged and pushed. The coaches are repeatedly praised for being friendly, approachable and deeply invested in each member's progress and wellbeing.
Set in a clean, modern space with great views and free parking, Shibusa emphasises a safe, ego-free training environment and a no-contracts, no-hidden-fees approach. For anyone in the Belconnen area looking to start or continue Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a friendly, high-quality academy, Shibusa offers an exceptional place to learn, train and belong.
