LOCALS JIU JITSU MAROUBRA

Locals Jiu Jitsu Maroubra was founded by John Walton, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and lifelong martial artist with decades of experience training, teaching, and competing. His vision was to create a space in Maroubra where discipline, technical excellence, and community are central to the training experience. Since its beginnings, Locals has grown into a well-established academy, serving everyone from kids finding their feet on the mats to athletes with competition ambitions. The academy’s program structure reflects a commitment to both tradition and innovation. Adults can train in both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes open to all levels. The fundamentals are emphasised for beginners, while advanced students build on their base with deeper technical work and more complex strategies. For those interested in no-gi grappling, regular sessions are scheduled alongside the core gi program. Locals Jiu Jitsu Maroubra places a strong focus on youth development, offering a progression of kids’ classes: Squids (3–5 years), Mids (5–7), Tin Lids (8–12), and Advanced Kids for those ready for more challenging material. Teens have their own gi classes, ensuring every age group receives coaching suited to their stage. Classes run throughout the week, including evenings and weekends, making it accessible for families and working adults. Drop-ins are welcome, and the academy’s doors are open to anyone looking to train seriously in BJJ in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
