Services
Garra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy was created by Eduardo Dias. It is the first full time traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Brisbane to have a world class Brazilian Black Belt as an instructor. The word Garra in Portuguese encompasses the attributes of focus, drive, attitude and talent. The capacity to overcome difficult situations, which embodies the philosophy our gym.
If you are not training, look out for other to prevent injury and if seated keep your legs crossed. Try to defend against the submissions, but don't pass your limits REMEMBER YOU ARE TRAINING!. Always inform the instructor if you have to leave earlier or won't be able to come in the following days.
A - It is recommend that you arrive 15 mins before the commencement of class to fill out a Waiver and Health Questionnaire. A - No. We will help you get fit, that's one of the benefits of Jiu Jitsu and to be honest, gym workouts will not prepare you for the cardio requirements of grappling. Note: Do not wear clothing with pockets/zips/buttons/metal attachments or hard items sewn into the fabrics.
Beginning a new sport (especially martial arts) can be daunting. Here at Garra Jiu Jitsu we want to make your first experience whether you are an adult or child (5 years and up) as easy and friendly as possible. There are always so many questions when wanting to start a new sport that it can be overwhelming and sometimes make you quit before you even start.
Held at our headquarters in Brisbane, in the privacy of our mezzanine mat area from 6:15pm to 7:15pm every Wednesday! This class is a great opportunity for the girls to drill, roll and discuss common position or submission obstacles faced in everyday training.

The ladies only class also provide a safe and friendly environment perfect for girls who want to start training but may be a little apprehensive to come to a normal class which is primarily made up on male students.Our academy offers the most effective way to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fun, friendly and safe environment.

Kids classes are great. The instructors are awesome and patient, and are really good at getting the kids to participate, even the very shy ones (like my daughter).

This is, without any shadow of a doubt the best Jiu Jitsu club in Brisbane. Instructor Eduardo Dias is a fine human being with world class Jiu Jitsu from a famous lineage in Brazil, and his students are a credit to him. The environment is welcoming and friendly, there is a good mix of elite competitors and people like me who do Jiu Jitsu for fun and lifestyle. I have a lot of experience in other styles and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. In an industry filled with fakes and frauds Garra is the real deal.
