Advance Grappling

Advance Grappling in Wyong is led by Jack Goodwin-Bainbridge, a first-degree black belt with over a decade of experience in submission grappling. Jack has been training since 2012 and teaching both children and adults since 2014. His competitive background includes multiple national and international titles across various belt levels, reflecting a deep commitment to the craft. The academy operates as an independent, locally owned gym focused on modern no-gi jiu-jitsu, with a teaching philosophy centred on personal development and respect for the integrity of grappling arts. Training at Advance Grappling revolves around no-gi submission grappling, often referred to as modern grappling, which emphasises ground fighting and submission techniques without the traditional gi. The program offers structured classes for adults and children alike, including fundamentals, principles, and open sparring sessions. For younger students, there are age-appropriate classes such as KindyGrapple and JuniorGrapple, designed to introduce grappling concepts in a safe and engaging environment. The schedule supports a steady progression from basics to more advanced techniques, accommodating a range of skill levels and learning styles. Visitors to the gym can expect a practical approach to grappling, with drop-in options available for those keen to train without long-term commitment. While the focus remains firmly on no-gi grappling, the training environment is inclusive, aiming to support grapplers at all stages of their journey. Situated on Dulmison Avenue, the academy honours its connection to the local Darkinyung people, embedding a sense of respect for the land and community into its daily practice.
