The Evolution of Compound Grappling

Welcome to Partizan Grappling Academy

Partizan Grappling Academy evolved from the humble beginnings of Compound Grappling in Bondi Beach. Lachlan and Benjamin were coaches at Compound Grappling and after a lease cancellation, had the opportunity to relocate and establish Partizan Grappling Academy in the heart of Kingsford. They’ve taken what they loved about the culture of Compound and combined it with their passion for introducing beginners into the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

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. Pleasure training with you guys. -Dylan

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
