WHO IS JIU JITSU (BJJ) FOR?

People often ask:

  • Do I need to get fit before starting Jiu Jitsu?
  • Am I too old?
  • Can my husband or wife train too?


The truth is simple — Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for everyone.


It doesn’t matter how fit you are, how flexible you are, or what size or shape you are. Jiu Jitsu works for all body types. Each person brings something different to the mats — balance, timing, strength, patience, or persistence — and learns how to use those traits in their own way.


Whether your goal is to compete, get fit, challenge your mind, or learn self-defence, Atomic Jiu Jitsu in Coorparoo is the place to do it. You’ll train in a friendly, adults-only environment built on respect, precision, and steady progress.

Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. Come and join us on the mats.

Jiu Jitsu is for anyone who wants to learn something real.
You don’t need to be young, strong, flexible, or fit — you just need to show up.

At Atomic Jiu Jitsu Brisbane in Coorparoo, we train adults of all ages, shapes, and backgrounds. Each person brings their own strengths — balance, timing, patience, persistence — and learns how to use them effectively on the mats.

Whether you want to compete, get fit, learn self-defence, or simply challenge your mind, you’ll find a place here.
Jiu Jitsu is for everyone.


No. You’ll get fit by training.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu builds strength, mobility, and endurance in a way that’s sustainable. Every class is scaled — you work at your own pace. The best thing you can do is simply start.


Yes — when done properly.
At Atomic Jiu Jitsu Brisbane, safety comes first. We train with control, respect, and clear communication. You’ll learn how to tap early, protect yourself, and roll responsibly. It’s one of the safest combat sports because you can train realistically without strikes.


Yes. We offer a week day trial week so you can experience different classes and meet the coaches. Train as much as you like during the week, then decide if our approach suits you.


No. Atomic Jiu Jitsu is adults-only — our focus is on mature students who want technical training, structure, and a respectful environment.
If you’re looking for youth programs, we’re happy to recommend trusted nearby academies.


Twice a week is a solid start. You’ll build consistency without burning out.
If your schedule allows, three or more sessions per week will help you progress faster and retain techniques. The key is consistency, not intensity.


There’s no shortcut — and that’s the point.
On average, it takes 8–12 years of consistent training. Each belt is earned through skill, understanding, and attitude on the mats.
We don’t rush promotions. Progress is measured by depth, not time.


Atomic is built for adults.
We keep classes structured, small, and led by black belts. Our month-cycle curriculum gives clear progression — no guesswork, no chaos.
We value precision, respect, and real skill over hype.
