Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. I have been training at BMJJA for about 2 years with prof Doa. It can be intimidating attending something new, especially a contact martial art for the first time, (it was for me), but Doa and all the students are very friendly and welcoming. It’s great cardio, fun and really helps breaking up the working week with something to look forward to after work. Over time you’ll quickly learn new skills and progress as you pick up different aspects of the sport. There’s always something new to learn in bjj which keeps it interesting. It’s always great when new people join, see you on the mats!
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BMJJA is a fantastic academy. The training areas are spacious, modern and extremely well maintained, with top-quality facilities. Staff and students are very welcoming and Prof Doa is an excellent teacher. A great place to learn in a safe, clean and positive environment. Highly recommended!

Professor Doa, James, Scott and all the instructors show such care and passion in their teaching which makes the classes so enjoyable.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. My 9 year old has been attending BMJJA for 8 months. Professor Doa is fantastic with kids of all ages and personalities. He’s kind, supportive, and compassionate - always encouraging and building their confidence. He creates an environment where kids feel comfortable to try new things and persevere through challenges, and the more experienced students naturally model the expectations which helps new students learn and settle in.
He keeps things fun and finds creative ways to keep the kids engaged, they spend most of the class with the biggest smiles on their faces. There’s no wasted time, class sizes are just right, and the community he’s built is kind and welcoming. The kids are taught to look out for each other, and newcomers are always made to feel included from day one.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BMJJA hosted a seminar I attended on Sunday. The academy looks amazing. Very clean and well fit out. Thankyou Prof Doa for hosting this amazing Defensive BJJ seminar with Coach Priit.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended a seminar at Blue Mountains Jiu Jitsu Academy with Priit Mihkelson, and it was such a great experience! It’s awesome that the club hosted someone like Priit— it was a rare chance to learn from him, I really enjoyed this fresh perspective on learning jiu-jitsu.
The gym itself is fantastic. It’s a beautiful space, super clean, well looked after, and has everything you’d want in a gym, from adults right through to kids/families. Doa was very welcoming and friendly, thank you so much for hosting! Anyone looking to train in the area, I 100% recommend checking out Blue Mountains Jiu Jitsu Academy!
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy based in Springwood. The coaching staff are friendly, attentive and highly experienced.

The atmosphere and commitment of the staff and students is admirable, the learning is not only limited to jujitsu but the environment we train in contributes to better preparation for dealing with real life stress. BMJJA has helped me deal with my own stress in a healthy and controlled setting and I highly reccomend this gym!
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. A great martial arts experience
This was the second free introductory class I went to with a friend. We were loaned pertect fitting ghees for the classes.
It is a welcoming space. We were introduced to some of the basic warm ups amd techniques by the top instructor.
We were then paired with senior members of the club (Nina and Jake) to learn particular techniques.
The teaching was scafolded and personalised which was great, and our partners were patient, helpful and friendly. :)
Importantly, safetly was the top priority. That meant being able to 'tap out' at any time for any reason. A lot of care was given to communicating this and being mindful of new students.
There is also an opportunity at the end of each class to experience the beginnings of how to grapple on the mat. The senior members made this a really good learning opportunity.
There seems to be a great camaraderie at the club. I'll be going back! Thanks for a great start. 🙌🙏
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved my experience here! Really lovely welcoming people, and really easy for beginners to hop right in. I eapecially had a blast wrestling at the end of the class with all the new techniques we learned!
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BMJJA is super clean, family friendly place. I’m a middle age dad holding a job, and I love that I can trust my teammates to look after me on the mats. There’s no crazy ultra competitive young blokes trying to tear arms off here. Instead theres a range of ages and abilities all trying to get better at jiujitsu, with good rolls and camaraderie. Professor Doa is super knowledgeable and creative in his approach to jiujitsu. I strongly recommend checking out this gym.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BMJJA is absolutely fantastic.
My 4 year old son has been going for about a month now, and every session has been A+. Both Nate and Doa are absolutely brilliant with the children.
I have never seen my child so engaged and focused.
We absolutely love coming.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family has had the absolute pleasure of being a part of Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional experience provided by Professor Doa and his dedicated team. With all three of our children taking classes at this state-of-the-art martial arts studio, we have witnessed firsthand the tremendous knowledge, expertise, and care that Professor Doa brings to his teaching.
From the very first class, it was evident that Professor Doa is not only a highly skilled martial artist but also an outstanding instructor. His passion for martial arts shines through in his instruction, and he effortlessly imparts his extensive knowledge to his students. Under his guidance, our children have not only learned self-defense techniques but have also gained valuable life skills, including discipline, respect, and perseverance.
What sets Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu apart is not only the quality of martial arts instruction but also the welcoming and enriching environment that has been created for the students. We appreciate the efforts made by the studio to offer various extra activities that go beyond martial arts training. The addition of Sunday chess, swimming, library access, and ping pong has added an extra layer of engagement and excitement for our children. It is wonderful to see the studio fostering a sense of camaraderie and offering opportunities for well-rounded development.
The studio itself is a testament to Professor Doa's commitment to excellence. The facilities are exceptional, featuring state-of-the-art equipment and a clean, organised space that is conducive to learning. It's clear that great care and attention to detail have been taken in creating an environment that is both safe and inspiring for students of all ages.
In addition to the outstanding martial arts instruction and the welcoming environment, the entire team at Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu has consistently demonstrated a genuine care for the well-being of the students. They have always been approachable, responsive, and attentive to the needs and concerns of both the children and parents. This level of commitment and professionalism has further solidified our trust and confidence in the studio.
We feel privileged to have found Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu and are incredibly grateful for the impact it has had on our children's lives. This studio is so much more than just a place to learn martial arts. It is a community that fosters personal growth, instills important values, and provides an avenue for physical and mental development. We wholeheartedly recommend Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu to anyone seeking top-notch martial arts instruction in a warm and supportive environment.
Thank you, Professor Doa, and the entire team at Blue Mountains Ju-Jitsu, for your unwavering dedication and commitment to our children's well-being and development. We are truly grateful for the positive influence you have had on our family.
Verified My 4.5 year old son has been training at the BMJJA for the last 2-3 months and I can already see him improving by leaps and bounds with better stamina, hand-eye coordination amongst others. The intervals at which classes are held is very good (5 days/week) and suits kids of all ages. The coaches/professors are very professional in their conduct and the training mat is kept squeaky clean. I would highly recommend this Academy to anyone who aspires to take up BJJ as a form of martial arts.

The length of classes are excellent especially the 1&1/2 hr ones. They are great. Good times being fun in the evenings also. Just love the place!
Verified Awesome, family friendly dojo
The mats are always clean and the people are nice. The general atmosphere of the dojo is calm and respectful and I have always felt perfectly safe there. All the teachers are keen about jiu jitsu and they always pay attention to everyone's well being. They never make you wrestle anyone you aren't comfortable with. By the way, as well as the mixed adults' classes, there are also women's only classes.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been training at Blue Mountains Jiu Jitsu Academy now for 2+ months and cannot recommend it higher. All have been super welcoming, Prof Doa is a great instructor, and has created a wonderful gym for the whole family. Where else can you bring your toddler/kids to hang out while you're training? Thanks to Prof Doa, all the other amazing instructors (Prof Hope, Frank, and all others I haven't met yet) and all members for being awesome :)
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really good training, great culture and amazing coaching. Love coming to BMJJA 🙏
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. I started at BMJJA to improve my physical health, but quickly discovered that it transcends way beyond health and fitness. Until now, I have never been a part of any place with such a strong sense of community. It is much more than just a jiu jitsu gym.
BMJJA has played a huge role in making me who I am today. I have made life-long friends here, developed valuable skills, patience, mental strength, and a sense of belonging. It has pushed me to challenge myself both mentally and physically.
Starting jiu jitsu as a woman can be intimidating, but from day one you are welcomed in with open arms in an environment where we feel safe, respected, and comfortable at all times. (well, not always comfortable.. but you know what I mean!)
I am now a kids coach at BMJJA. It is incredibly rewarding to see the kids enjoying their time on the mats, learning both techniques and life skills, building confidence and resilience, and making like-minded friends in a supportive community.
I couldn’t recommend this more for both kids and adults. They say that jiu jitsu changes your life.. in my experience, I believe this is absolutely true!
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. Something Extraordinary
My review is 100% biased. As his life partner for more than two decades, I have witnessed Professor Doa’s profound transformation, from a desk bound IT guy, to a BBJ black belt, now founding his own Academy. He brings his own transformative story to his practice and teaching of BJJ with a sense of deep gratitude and philosophical reflection emphasising playfulness and respectful inclusivity. I am fortunate indeed to learn BJJ in this Academy.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trained there for six months, was pretty good but Doa the head trainer was pretty aggressive towards me when he didn’t approve of minor infringements I made, like pointing my bare feet at him, or accidentally leaving a Kombucha jar valve open.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SJJA Blue Mountains has a very inclusive culture and I've never had a bad experience there. Doa and the team look after the gym meticulously and show patience and humility while introducing me to BJJ, now also guiding me as i plan to compete in my first competition. You couldn't find a better place to be choked out in my opinion.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would (and have) recommended SJJA to anyone I can talk to! You get to learn some damn cool brazillian jiu jitsu moves, in a safe and welcoming space with people who will encourage you. Plus, you're exercising to fun music. I spend most of the classes dancing.
P.s. there are kids-only classes and women-only classes available.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend to families. We go to the beginners, women’s, children’s & family classes & have loved every minute. Our 4yo is addicted & has enjoyed making friends while building her resilience & confidence. Her excitement & sense of pride in overcoming challenges has been a delight to watch. It’s been a wonderful way of bonding as a family.
