No-Gi BJJ Academy in Kingsford, Sydney
We teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling to people who’ve never stepped on a mat before, and to people who want to compete at the highest level. Everyone in between, too.
If you’re brand new, good. Most of our members started exactly where you are. You’ll learn how to move, how to defend yourself, and how to get comfortable being uncomfortable. No one here is going to make you feel stupid for not knowing something.
If you’re bringing your kids, we run classes for ages 5–10 and 10–15. They’ll learn discipline, respect, and how to handle themselves. But mostly they’ll have fun, make mates, and come home tired in the best way.
If you want to compete, we’ll build your game. Technical coaching, strategy, and training partners who won’t let you coast. We’ll help you prepare for, and execute your game plan at your next competition.
Whether you’re here to get fit, learn to defend yourself, or chase medals, we take your progress seriously.
Come in for a free trial. No contracts or pushy sales pitch.


Born from a desire to rise against tradition
We built Partizan around a simple belief: grappling should make your life better, not harder.
Whether you’re stepping on the mats for the first time or chasing competition gold, you deserve a training environment that actually supports your goals. No inflated egos. No outdated hierarchies. No pressure to sign your life away.
Here’s what we stand for:
Real Support – Your progress matters to us. We coach based on where you are, not where we think you should be.
Open Communication – Questions, feedback, and honest conversations are welcome at every level. We’re all here to get better.
Athlete Development – Competitors get the technical guidance, training partners, and game planning they need to win. Hobbyists get the fitness, skills, and community they’re looking for. Everyone gets our best.
No Bullshit Business Model – No contracts. No hidden fees. No pressure. Train because you want to, not because you’re locked in.
We love Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling in Sydney. More importantly, we love watching people discover what they’re capable of when they train in the right environment.
Book your free trial. No contracts, no strings attached.

Visiting from Los Angeles, I really wanted to find a group of girls to train with, and this academy was perfect. The instructors were very kind, patient, and made the whole environment feel supportive. Everyone welcomed me right away, and I picked up some great techniques while having a lot of fun. I’m grateful for the experience and will definitely come back the next time I’m in town.![]()

They’re doing the women’s Jiujitsu scene a great service by holding these workshops for free. They have a good space and is conveniently located near public transport. If I didn’t live so far, I’d come visit more often!![]()

Stopped by during a work trip to Sydney to do some cross training. Couldn’t have chosen a better gym great atmosphere and group of people down at Partizan. Ben and the team are doing a great job at training some killers on the mats. Very easy to say that this is the gym I’ll be training at every time I take a trip down to Sydney.

Ben really took his time explaining the techniques we were going to be drilling today, he walked around and engaged with everyone in the class and highlighted areas to improve. Partizan grappling has a very clean gym and the best culture with the friendliest people and the coaches highlighting safety as the number 1 priority. All the drawbacks and downsides I've heard about other gyms were not present at partizan, 100% recommend!![]()

I’m new to BJJ and train at a nearby gym, but came by for the open mat session and was blown away. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and generous with their time. The space is very clean and has a great energy. It’s rare to find a place that opens its doors like this with no agenda, just a solid community that clearly loves the sport. Highly recommended.![]()

Brilliant gym, highly recommend the intro course for someone who has never done bjj before and the women’s workshop is also a great place to start! Coaches offer tonnes of support and knowledge and the community feel is unlike any other. Always have a good laugh too. Cheers Ben and Lachlan, looking forward to coming back![]()

No better spot to train Jiu Jitsu. Friendliest atmosphere you could hope for whether you’re a complete beginner or been training for years. Elite music selection too
