The story OF SJJA
One champion. One vision. One family of schools built on the belief that pressure, properly applied, creates something brilliant.

"Teach the best Jiu-Jitsu to as many people as possible."
Founder
Bruno Alves.
Black belt 4th degree under ZR Radiola of the ZR Team. Bruno has dedicated his life to competing at the highest level winning multiple World Championships at middleweight, including the European, Pan American, South American and Mundial titles.
In 2011, he moved to Sydney with a simple idea: teach the best Jiu-Jitsu to as many people as possible. Today, SJJA is the fastest-growing martial arts school in Australia.
Bruno attributes his success on and off the mats to the values he learned over a lifetime of training and competing and he's built a school with that winning mindset at its core.
