FORGE THE WAY. FIGHT WITH HONOUR.
Why Modern Musashi
At Modern Musashi BJJ, we make starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu simple, structured, and welcoming, whether you’re an adult stepping onto the mats for the first time or a parent looking for the right environment for your child.
Based in Wollongong, our academy is built for beginners. You won’t be thrown into advanced classes or left feeling lost. Instead, we guide you step-by-step through the fundamentals, helping you build real skills, confidence, and fitness from day one.
For adults, our program focuses on practical self-defence, improved fitness, and a clear path to progress—without the intimidation that many people expect when starting martial arts. For kids, we create a fun, disciplined environment where they develop confidence, respect, focus, and resilience both on and off the mats.
What makes Modern Musashi different is our structure and community. We don’t just run classes—we run a proven system designed to help beginners succeed. Every student is supported, every class has purpose, and every step of your journey is guided.
If you’ve been thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but didn’t know where to begin, this is where you start.

Posted on Google Romina RondinelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started training a few weeks ago after we left the gym he had been at since he was 3. He is now nearly 7. It was the best decision! Gabriel and his team made us feel welcome and really made time for my son. The classes are well run, professional and all the trainers are experienced and great with kids. The place has a great vibe and we are so happy to now be part of the Musashi family.Posted on Google Duane LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great crew! My daughter's been going there for years and it's great to see the friendly but firm coaching with the younger one's.Posted on Google Ben ZietschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training at this gym for around 5 years now, having just recently received my purple belt. I’m proud to say we’ve built an amazing community over the years. This is more than just a jiu jitsu gym, it’s a second family. Aside from the social aspect, the level of instruction and training is top notch also. Highly recommend BJJ as a sport and a hobby, and highly recommend Modern Musashi as the place to train.Posted on Google Jayden CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Popped in for a Saturday open mat and Gabriel the coach was very welcoming and friendly! Some good rolls with blue, purple, brown and black belts. Clean mats and friendly facesPosted on Google Monty HancockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never done any form of martial arts before, and I came to trial class here with my partner. The instructors are really supportive and welcoming. Gab and Tanya ran the session I attended and I was really grateful for them! I definitely recommend and will be back!Posted on Google Daniel TrajTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Cannot recommend GB Wollongong enough if you are looking to get your child into jiu-jitsu! Professor Gab and the coaches are so welcoming and supportive, the care they put into their teaching is better than anywhere else. Our son has grown leaps and bounds in so many more ways than just learning the art of BJJ. You won't regret becoming apart of the GB Wollongong family! ☺️Load more
