Gracie Barra Hunter Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu | Martial Art has been a fixture in Rutherford since 2012, founded by Gene-Paul “Geno” De Crewis. Backed by the global Gracie Barra organisation, the academy follows a structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu system, with a strong emphasis on technical development, personal growth and family involvement. Prof Geno, a third-degree black belt, leads a team of certified instructors with a focus on creating a safe, disciplined and inclusive environment for students of all ages. The teaching philosophy is centred on building confidence, resilience and respect—both on and off the mats. Training at Gracie Barra Hunter Valley is organised through a progressive curriculum. The GB1 Fundamentals Program introduces beginners to core techniques and self-defence, while the GB2 and GB3 programs offer advanced and expert training for experienced students, including more complex drills and live rolling. No-Gi classes are also available, led by instructors with practical MMA backgrounds. Private lessons are offered for those seeking tailored instruction or competition preparation. The academy runs a comprehensive kids’ program for ages 5–15, aiming to develop confidence, coordination and life skills in a structured setting. Classes are scheduled throughout the week, with options in the mornings and evenings to suit a range of commitments. The team includes black belts with diverse backgrounds, including law enforcement and trade, as well as purple belt coaches who contribute to both kids’ and adult classes. All instructors undergo regular certification and hold current First Aid and Working With Children checks, reflecting the school’s commitment to safety and professionalism. Families training together are a common sight, and the academy’s open-door approach has made it a trusted hub for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Hunter Valley region.
