Coringa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Coringa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Wangara is led by Fabio “Coringa” Nunes, a 6th degree black belt with deep roots in the sport. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Fabio began training as a child and earned his black belt at 23. His early instruction came from Ralph Gracie, followed by Royler Gracie, Saulo Ribeiro and Arthur Cartiart. Fabio’s journey continued at Gama Filho University—now known worldwide as GFTeam—where he trained under Julio Cesar and Marcus Bello and later helped establish the first international GFTeam branch in Boston. Since moving to Perth in 2009, he has built a strong team and remains active in shaping the sport locally, including his ongoing role as director of the AFBJJ in Western Australia. The academy’s programs cover Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from beginners through to advanced levels, with a clear emphasis on progression and competition. Coringa BJJ supports a dedicated competition team, but participation is not compulsory; students are encouraged to compete as a path to personal growth and skill development. Fabio’s teaching is informed by decades of experience, a Physical Education degree, and a brown belt in judo, ensuring a well-rounded approach to grappling. Coringa BJJ runs classes for adults and kids at its Wangara headquarters, with additional locations in Butler, Bunbury, Busselton, Dunsborough, Margaret River, New Zealand and New Caledonia. The schedule features gi and no-gi training, as well as a kickboxing program, giving members a broad base in martial arts. The academy welcomes new students at any stage of life, reinforcing the belief that BJJ is not just a sport, but a lifelong journey.
