BJJ Freo

BJJ Freo, located in North Fremantle, is led by Vinicius Alex do Espirito Santo, a black belt with roots tracing back to some of Brazil’s respected instructors, including Master Ivan Maia and Mestre Marinho. Vinicius began his BJJ journey at 13 and, after training across several Brazilian cities and later at GFTEAM Joondalup in Australia, he founded BJJ Freo to offer a welcoming space that prioritises understanding and enjoyment of the art. His approach is informed by his own experiences overcoming challenges, including injury and relocation, and a commitment to creating an inclusive environment that supports all neurotypes, ages, and body types. Training at BJJ Freo centres on fundamentals combined with movement, breathwork, and nervous system awareness, designed to help students feel grounded and capable both on and off the mats. The academy runs term-based kids’ classes for ages 4 to 12, emphasising play, self-regulation, and confidence, while adult classes focus on building balance and body awareness through games and drills inspired by New Wave BJJ. Family and private sessions are also available, providing options for home-schooling families or those seeking a quieter training environment. Classes take place at The Mill Gym on Coventry Parade, with small groups and a calm, beginner-friendly style. Kids’ classes currently operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays but are full, with a waitlist open for future enrolments. Adult sessions run every Thursday evening. Drop-ins and trial classes are possible when space allows, and the academy’s pricing structure includes term bookings, casual classes, and private coaching options. BJJ Freo’s focus remains firmly on creating a space where everyone can learn and grow at their own pace.
