BJJ: BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU PERTH
Cultivating Community, Confidence and Champions
Perth’s best BJJ classes
Are you curious about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but don’t know where to start?
Do you need a fresh approach to Jiu Jitsu training?
Want a welcoming and inclusive BJJ gym?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ for short, is more than just a martial art – it’s a way to build confidence and strength at any age.
For parents considering an activity for their children, BJJ is a safe choice that teaches respect, discipline and self-defence in a supportive environment. It’s also about having fun and making friends.
For older teens and adults, BJJ offers the chance to stay active, challenge your mind and be part of a welcoming community. It’s about setting personal goals and achieving them at your own pace.
And for those with a competitive streak, BJJ has plenty of opportunities for you to test your mental acuity and physical fitness against others.
At Wilkes, we have BJJ classes every day of the week. Our open and welcoming environment means classes are suitable for first-time beginners through to advanced competitors. Classes are carefully supervised with a focus on technique, skill and safety so everyone feels that they have the opportunity to grow and learn.
Our gym is ego-free, with an emphasis on self-improvement. We encourage students to embrace being uncomfortable to build both physical and mental stamina.
BJJ training at Wilkes
Jiu Jitsu translates to ‘gentle art’. It is a grappling martial art, often described as a mix between judo and wrestling. The beauty of BJJ is that by focusing on technique and skill, people can successfully meet opponents of any size. At Wilkes, we focus on self-improvement and self-development to keep our training ego-free. This means we focus on safe sparring as you work to resist your training partner, rather than ‘destroy your opponent’.
Our timetable includes daily BJJ classes to suit different schedules and abilities. We run both gi (a traditional martial arts uniform) and non-gi classes (shorts and T-shirt/rashie) to suit different student preferences.
You don’t need any experience to start – we’ll carefully select your training partner to keep it safe and ensure you learn effectively. At Wilkes, we also have a 4:1 student to teacher ratio, well above the industry average, so you get more personalised attention to develop your skills. Come along for a free trial class to see why we’re Perth’s best BJJ gym.
Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
BJJ is a great way for kids to learn physical skills and self-discipline. Our timetable includes classes for children 6-15 years.
Adults Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced competitor, we have classes for adults of all abilities.
Private BJJ Lessons
If you want to progress faster, work on specific skills, or just can’t make our timetabled classes, private lessons are a great option.
