A home for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Gungahlin. BJJ is for everyone, young or old: with dedication and hard work, anyone can reach their highest potential. Whether it's your first class or you've trained for years, come join the Capital Jiu-Jitsu team.
ScrollOur philosophy
More than a martial art.
Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and a practical tool for self-defence. To us it is also a tool for personal growth: a method for becoming a better version of yourself, on and off the mat. We teach it in a practical, systematic way, using techniques tested in competition at the highest level.
01
Understanding
First, we teach you to understand the movement: how its mechanics work, and why.
02
Knowledge
Once the basic movement patterns are understood, we build the knowledge of position, control and body awareness you need to apply a technique against a resisting opponent.
03
Skill
Then comes application: putting your understanding and knowledge to work in live scenarios. This is where skill is built.
04
A still mind under pressure
BJJ is more than a combat sport: it is a tool for building life skills. Our students learn to actively solve complex problems and stay calm and focused under pressure, key to success in BJJ and in life.
05
A way of life
The Capital Jiu-Jitsu team is here to support you every step of the way. We believe BJJ can transform lives, building the strength of character to become a more resilient, healthy and focused person.
