Built by a World Champion

The Advanced program is Bruno’s personal vision — the training he wishes he’d had access to earlier in his career. It’s not a watered-down fundamentals class at a faster pace. It’s a completely different curriculum focused on developing speed, reflexes, game-flow, and the specific skills needed to win at the highest levels of BJJ competition.

What makes Advanced different

Higher-level techniques — leg locks, advanced guard systems, intricate back attacks, modern no-gi concepts.

Cross-grappling integration — wrestling, Judo and Sambo concepts adapted for BJJ rulesets.

Game-flow development — how your positions link together into a cohesive strategy.

Live, high-pace rolling — harder rounds with training partners who can test and push you.

Competition prep — specific camps leading up to major tournaments (Pan Pacs, Worlds, Masters).

Is Advanced right for you?

You should be training in Advanced if:

You're at least a blue belt (or a very experienced white belt transitioning up).

You're training consistently — 3+ sessions per week.

You want to compete, or at least test yourself against high-level training partners.

You understand the foundations and are ready to start developing your own game.

Advanced is invitation-based — your coaches will let you know when you’re ready. Not sure? Book a trial and train in Fundamentals first. We’ll assess from there.

Competition support

Our competition team travels together to the major IBJJF events — Pan Pacs, Melbourne Open, Sydney Open, Masters, Worlds. Members who want to compete get specific prep, sparring partners at their weight, and a coach in their corner on competition day.

In 2025 alone, the SJJA team brought home 40+ IBJJF medals across all belts and age divisions.

Timetable: Advanced classes run Tuesday/Thursday 06:30 and 18:30, plus Monday/Wednesday 19:45.
