Jiu jitsu Classes In Thornbury Melbourne
Adult's Jiu jitsu Classes
|
Adults Jiu jitsu Classes - Developing skills takes time and with such a wide range of skills to learn it is quite a journey from Beginner to Black Belt. Black Belt in Jiu jitsu, like most styles of martial arts, means that you have learned the basics Jiu jitsu mastery takes a lifetime of study.
Most adults train two or three times a week depending on their availability. We have a total of 11 classes each week that are all 90 minutes long and you are able to attend as many as you like each week. We have students aged 15 and over in the adults class, the teens train with the teens and the older adults train with the older adults. |

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I've been training in Japanese Jiu Jitsu and attending Adult Kickboxing classes for the last 3 years and I learn something new and valuable from the staff every time I go there. I would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to start training in martial arts as an adult
Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - From the moment I stepped onto the dojo floor, I was captivated by the discipline, respect, and fellowship that defined the practice. The rigorous training pushed my physical limits, helping me develop strength and agility I never knew I had.
Teen's Jiu jitsu Classes
|
Ages 11, 12, 13 and 14 We adjust the training to be age appropriate so they do not practice chokes or other life threatening techniques etc in the teen classes. All Teens must train two times a week to be eligible to grade every three months.
Our teenage students learn a number of self defence techniques that we have hand picked as appropriate for their age group such as grab defences, punch and kick defences and also ground fighting techniques. The teens also learn weapons training Bo (6 foot staff) , Hanbo (3 foot staff) and very importantly Knife Defence. Weapons training makes classes fun and really help to keep them engaged which can be a challenge for some teens.

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - My son has been a member since he was 5 - he's now almost 11 and still loving it. I don't think he'll stop either which is great. As a parent I'm very grateful for my son to have good adult influences outside of school and family and Thornbury Martial Arts provides just that - physical training, self defence skills, fun & games and good adult influences in a safe environment. I can't recommend it enough, what the sensei's at Thornbury Martial Arts do for kids is phenomenal!
Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - My young son has been attending Guests Martial Arts for over three years, and it's really helped him with agility and coordination, and increased confidence in his physical abilities. The staff are all very supportive and attentive. I particularly like the emphasis on measuring success by a student's individual improvements, rather than on success at tournaments.

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We couldn’t be happier with the care and patience that all of the teachers have with our son. Since we started, we have seen a massive improvement in his motor strength, coordination, and perseverance. He is also more confident in trying new physical activities. Thanks to all of the staff, we greatly appreciate it.
Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We were extremely lucky to discover Guests Martial Arts when looking for a dojo for our daughter early on. She began training at the age of five, shy and tentative but eager to learn. And it’s hard to express the impact Guests has since had on her life. It’s not only the body-confidence and fitness and strength the dojo imparts in their students, but we were stunned at first to learn of the personal development program that runs alongside the children’s classes mat work. Each week the kids take time out and sit in a circle to discuss issues such as dealing with bullies, respect, assertiveness, the benefits of reading and school, etc.
We watched our daughter grow calmer and more sure of herself over the weeks, months and years, and saw all the touted benefits of martial arts bear out in her.

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - My son struggles to stay focused then gets upset that he is not doing the moves 'correctly'. The instructors are always patient and kind, encouraging him to keep going, having fun. They really lean into his neurodiversity and he really enjoys all the activities. Its a joy to watch the playful but assertive approach of all the instructors.
Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Very caring staff. Everyone is here to help you. My son has enjoyed going there since the beginning of the year (2024) and we have seen so much improvement in self-regulation both emotionally and physically. Highly recommended! Especially as the class schedule is flexible so you can change it and adapt it to your weekly schedule. Brilliant!
The best part is they teach you to be the best of yourself! Thanks Sensei! We love coming every week! 🥋🤍🤍🤍
