Flux Jiu Jitsu

Flux Jiu Jitsu in Gateshead is a family-run academy with deep roots in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie martial arts scene. Led by a team of five black belts and seasoned competitors, including head coaches Justin Murray and Dan Ireland, the club brings together decades of experience across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and striking. The coaching team is known for both their high-level achievements—such as Australian MMA titles and international representation—and a hands-on approach that values every student, from absolute beginners to seasoned competitors. The adult program is built around both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes ranging from fundamentals to advanced sparring. Beginners are supported through the Flux Foundations course, a step-by-step introduction that runs twice a week and puts newcomers alongside other first-timers. For those interested in a broader skill set, Flux offers MMA fundamentals, striking and kickboxing classes, and submission wrestling. The schedule includes multiple open mat sessions and open gym times, making it easy for adults to pursue fitness, self-defence or competition goals at their own pace. Kids’ classes at Flux start from age four, with a clear progression through minis, juniors, youth and teens. Each age group trains in appropriately structured sessions, mixing games-based learning with genuine skill development and a strong focus on confidence and resilience. Teens have access to both BJJ and MMA classes, and there’s a dedicated competition stream for those who want to test themselves further. The club also runs the Stand Strong anti-bullying program, using martial arts to build strength and courage in young people. All classes are beginner friendly, and drop-ins are welcome across the timetable.
