Braddah Jiu Jitsu Sydenham

Braddah Jiu Jitsu Sydenham was founded in 2019 by Lucas Sachs and Martin Melecchi, two Brazilian black belts with over thirty years of combined experience. The academy was built from the ground up to reflect their own journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, prioritising respect, support, and genuine learning over ego and intimidation. With roots in both Brazil and Sydney, Lucas and Martin have shaped a team that values discipline, character, and ongoing self-improvement, aiming to bring the real essence of Jiu-Jitsu to the local community. The coaching team at Sydenham includes instructors with proven competition records and extensive teaching backgrounds. Lucas Sachs, a 5th degree black belt, has led teams to major titles in both Brazil and Australia, while Martin Melecchi and other senior coaches bring a combination of technical depth, experience in both gi and no-gi, and a strong focus on student development. The instructors are committed to helping students of all ages progress, both on and off the mats, with an emphasis on consistency and practical skill-building. Classes at Braddah Jiu Jitsu Sydenham are structured to support steady progression. Beginners start with foundation classes, where fundamentals are drilled and confidence is built step by step. As students advance, they move into all levels and intermediate/advanced sessions. The academy also runs a full kids’ program—including gi and kids’ no-gi classes—designed to develop discipline, coordination, and self-confidence from a young age. Students are welcome to train across all Braddah locations in Sydney, making it practical for families and busy adults to stay consistent with their training.
