Gracie Barra Mount Lawley

Gracie Barra Mount Lawley has established itself as a key part of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu scene in Perth, led by a team of experienced black belt instructors including Mohamed Abdi (2nd Degree), Teco Shinzato (6th Degree), Mathias Campillo (2nd Degree), and Leah Gaffoor (1st Degree). The academy follows the structured Gracie Barra system, with a focus on technical excellence, safety, and the core values of brotherhood, integrity, and development. The team’s commitment extends beyond the mats, having delivered women’s self-defence and anti-bullying programs, as well as introducing BJJ into local schools across Mount Lawley and surrounding suburbs. Classes are organised to cater for all ages and stages, from children in the GB Kids program through to adults progressing from the GB1 Fundamentals, into GB2 Advanced, and onto the GB3 Expert curriculum. The children’s classes emphasise confidence, discipline, and respect, while the adult pathway is designed to build solid foundational skills before moving into advanced techniques, including No-Gi training and live sessions at the higher levels. There is a dedicated women’s program (GBF) which offers an accessible entry point and supports progression into the broader curriculum. The academy operates throughout the week, with early morning, daytime, and evening classes to accommodate varied schedules. Facilities include two large mat areas, a kids’ area, change rooms, showers, and free parking, making it practical for families and busy adults alike. All instructors are certified annually through the Gracie Barra Instructor Certification Program and hold current First Aid, Police Check, and Working With Children Check, reflecting a strong emphasis on professionalism and student safety.
