Braddah Jiu Jitsu Thornleigh

Braddah Jiu Jitsu Thornleigh was established by Lucas Sachs and Martin Melecchi, two Brazilian black belts with over three decades of combined experience. Since opening its doors in 2019, the academy has focused on building a training environment where respect and support are prioritised over ego, and steady progress is valued above pressure. The leadership team, including Lucas—a 5th degree black belt and accomplished competitor—and a roster of seasoned instructors, brings deep technical knowledge and a genuine commitment to student development, both on and off the mats. The academy’s teaching method is built around structured progression, starting with strong fundamentals and layering more advanced concepts as students grow. Beginners and experienced grapplers train together in a program designed to make the essential skills of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible and repeatable. Braddah Jiu Jitsu Thornleigh runs a range of classes across the week, including Foundation, All Levels, and Intermediate/Advanced sessions. Kids’ classes are a significant focus, with both gi and no-gi options available, and the coaching team includes instructors with extensive experience in youth development and competition. Located close to local schools in Thornleigh, the gym offers a practical, well-equipped space for students of all ages. The team’s collective achievements—ranging from state and national titles to international podiums—reflect a culture of consistency and genuine improvement. The academy welcomes adults and children who want to train regularly, whether for self-defence, fitness, or competition, and the structured approach ensures that everyone has a clear path for growth.
