At Forge we aim to positively enrich people's lives through the Martial Arts. Here, people are free to explore and expand their potential by providing a safe, fun and authentic training environment that is physically and mentally challenging. We do this through honouring the art Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) as it was originally intended.
We are located in Forest Glen, the centre of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and it is where you will come to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We pride ourselves that our Martial Arts classes are effective, self-defence applicable, ethical, make you sweat, will positively improve your life. We have a 'no meathead' policy free from ego, machismo and the 'HULK SMASH' mentality you may find else where.

It's our goal at Forge Martial Arts to positively enrich people's live in an environment where people are free to explore and expand their potential providing a safe, fun and authentic training environment that is physically and mentally challenging and that coaches functional martial arts and self defence skills.
It's known fondly by many names, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a relatively modern Martial Art which has it's origins in, you guessed it, Brazil. BJJ as a martial art focuses on primarily closing the distance with your opponent, getting them to the ground via either takedowns, throws or sweeps and then looking to maintain control of your opponent and if needs be, finishing with a submission such as a choke/strangle, or joint lock.
Not everyone can make it to our classes due to work, family or life commitments. While we do our best to cater for everyone's goals in our classes, it sometimes is just not possible and some people want more specific training whether that be for self defence or sports related endeavorers, or they are just requiring a different pace to their training.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in it's traditional format is a self defence martial art, and it is what our age seperated Juniors (7-11) and Teen Classes (11-16) are based on. When all other avenues have been exhausted & your child is at risk of physical harm, they will learn how to Engage the Bully, take them to the ground & gain a Dominant Position.
Self Defence, fundamental movement, takedowns, pins and escapes. At this stage we introduce Submission under controlled conditions. Gracie Fundamentals (15+) - Learn the fundamental concepts, techniques & details of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The most beautiful and effective self defence art. A lower intensity session perfect for the beginner.

As a female with a disability I can not recommend this enough. It’s everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying * Positive training space & community. * gained a can do attitude when all I had known was can not. * Gained increased fitness, strength, & stress relief. * increased confidence * Lost 15kg since joining in July 2020 * friendly coaches & team mates who support, encourage, yet challenge me * Coaches have good communication skills.
If I started this. Give it a go too!

My little boy is OBSESSED with the classes!!! He just cant wait to get back in and constantly asks when the next session would be. I think it is so important for the kids to enjoy what they do, and he certainly does love every bit of it. So much fun, learning and discipline in one place. Highly recommended ❤️

I was invited to come down and do a free trial session at Forge Martial Arts to get an understanding of what they offer.
The first thing you will notice is how friendly the members are. You'll quickly fit in and find that everyone is there to help you on your journey.
The club space is big enough for large classes but also small enough to ensure… a personal level of teaching can occur.
Both Chris and Nate (head coaches) are extremely genuine and humble people who really care about you as an individual. They spend the time to find out about your goals and also encourage in the process.

Chris is an awesome Trainer and very cool guy who is very passionate about CM and Monkey Jits! He has years of experience in both programs and has a lot of invaluable knowledge to share! The environment at CM Sunshine Coast is very encouraging and supportive and will cater to all levels of experience. Chris and his clients always have a great time on the mats and I'm sure you will too if you get the opportunity to train here!
