Über Rob Williams BJJ
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy based in Loganlea QLD. Classes for men, women and children. Making our community happier, healthier and safer through Jiu Jitsu. Instructor: Rob Williams My martial arts journey started when I was 4 years old on the ship from Africa to New Zealand. A kid had stolen my toy and I went to my dad in tears. Dad was a boxer in the army so an impromptu boxing lesson ensued and he told me to go get my toy back. He was also a fan of Judo so that was my first art at 6 years of age. From there I became obsessed - Karate, Wing Chun, Tae Kwan Do, Thai boxing, kick boxing, Aikido - then in 1997 I discovered Jiu Jitsu and immediately set my eyes on the UFC. In 1999 I moved to Melbourne, there was no MMA, but a lot of Jiu Jitsu so i dedicated my life to the art. I've won multiple state, national and international championships and been to the world championships four times. I've produced dozens of state, national, international champions and two world champions. All that whilst teaching very practical, self defence oriented Jiu Jitsu. Kick, punch, throw and grapple. Aim to be a complete martial artist. Teachers matter - I've been blessed with world class coaches such as Geoff Aitken, Peter DeBeen, Relson Gracie, Royler Gracie, Rolker Gracie, Breno Sivak, Bruno Panno, Rodrigo Antunes, Pedro Sauer, Carlos Collor. As a result I take teaching very seriously and professionally - but realise the need for a relaxed teaching style to encourage learning. There's no need to be fit, flexible or even compete - Jiu Jitsu is for everyone!
