Here is what some of our students have to say about training in Gracie Jiu Jitsu with us:

TESTIMONIAL: Luke's high level of technical ability and his excellent communication skills make classes rewarding and fun, and his respect and the time he has for his students both during and outside of class make him stand out among instructors. Luke's ability to teach classes that apply to everyone in them - whether they are bouncers wanting to learn controlling techniques, women wanting to learn useful self-defence, or athletes preparing to compete in tournaments - ensures that everyone in the class is well looked after and comes out at the end of class with a sense of achievement. Rebecca Fenton (Blue Belt) - 2004 & 2005 I.G.J.J.F. Championship Medallist (Los Angeles) - 2005 Australian Submission Grappling Championships Medallist

TESTIMONIAL: Jiu jitsu gives you a physical capability to defend yourself that I am continually amazed at. I didn't start training until I was in my late thirties, and went from being a sedentary office worker to being able to handle the majority of guys with little difficulty. Luke's instruction is fantastic, and the mateship among the regulars is great. Plus, the stream of world class instructors that we get through on a regular basis is scary. Barry Littler (Blue Belt) - CEO, Alleron Investment Management

TESTIMONIAL: I have trained with Luke Beston for a number of years now. Luke's commitment and passion to the art known as Brasilian Jiu Jitsu is unfailing and is evident in the results he achieves from his students. He takes the time out to explain each technique clearly making sure each student understands the technique and concepts of what he is trying to explain. Angela and Luke treat each student more like a family member than a student. Creating a friendly atmosphere for everyone to learn this fantastic art. Rau Lau (Blue Belt) - Business Manager
