Testimonials

John is not only the best in Australia but also one of the best in the world at this stuff! He is one of my few Black Belts. He is a classic in his field and a legend in his own time.

‘Judo’ Gene LeBell

I consider John to be an exceptional high level Coach and Instructor in the grappling arts. I took private lessons from John and he made Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu so much easier for me to understand as he broke things down so well and customized it for me. I would highly recommend John as a coach, teacher and trainer in any of the submission and grappling arts.

Guru Dan Inosanto

John not only helped me but also my guys understand the submission side of grappling. He breaks things down really well and shows you the intricacies of the submissions that you won’t get from most Brazilian guys. Everything comes back to the basics.

Rico Chiapparelli
Raw Team Coach and Manager

John is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu instructors I’ve ever come across. He makes it so easy to understand the techniques even for the simple-minded athlete like myself. He can show me something on the Monday and I would use it to win my fight on the Saturday night.

Frank Trigg

John is a personal friend of mine. He is a great teacher because he has the ability to make complex things simple. If you get a chance to train with him you should. He really knows his stuff.
