Evolve Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Evolve Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Port Macquarie is led by Professor Egor Rocha, a first degree black belt under Professor Vicente Cavalcanti and Professor Thalison Soares. Egor brings a wealth of competitive experience, having won the Australian National BJJ Championship at every belt, including the black belt heavyweight titles in recent years. His background in the Brazilian Army and law, combined with years of coaching, shapes a teaching style focused on discipline, resilience and continual learning. Co-founder Tarah Rocha, a brown belt and accomplished yoga teacher, adds a holistic approach to the academy’s philosophy, blending movement, breath and technical skill. The academy’s program structure is broad, with classes for all ages and experience levels. Adults can choose from fundamentals and all-levels gi classes, no-gi grappling, women’s sessions, and dedicated drills and rounds. Beginners have clear entry points, while open mat sessions give more advanced students time to refine their game. Kids and teens are well catered for, with age-based gi classes for children aged 3 through 16, and a no-gi option for the 6–9 group. Youth classes are designed not just for skill acquisition, but also for building confidence, discipline and teamwork. Facilities at Evolve BJJ are purpose-built with a sprung mat floor and climate control, located conveniently in the Marina Shopping Centre. The academy welcomes visitors and drop-ins, with options for single class passes and family memberships. Parents can watch classes from a comfortable seating area, and the broader program includes yoga and mobility sessions, led by Tarah Rocha, to support athletic development and recovery.
