Modern Musashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Wollongong

Modern Musashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Wollongong was established to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu genuinely accessible to those starting out in the Illawarra. The academy’s approach is built on clear, structured guidance, especially for beginners who might otherwise feel overwhelmed stepping onto the mats for the first time. Coach Ben Healey, a four-stripe brown belt who began his own BJJ journey in 2016, leads the adults program. He’s known for his patient, detail-driven coaching style and a strong focus on technical fundamentals, with a particular interest in half guard and butterfly guard. While Ben has competed successfully at local tournaments, including a CompNet gold and multiple Wollongong Open podiums, he considers his students’ growth and confidence the real measure of success. Training at Modern Musashi covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Adult classes are designed around practical self-defence, fitness and steady skill progression, with an emphasis on breaking down techniques into concepts that are easy to understand and apply. For children, the program balances discipline and fun, aiming to help kids develop resilience, respect and focus both on and off the mats. There are also classes specifically for women, further supporting a broad and inclusive training environment. The academy runs out of Corrimal Street in Wollongong, with a timetable that supports consistent training for all ages and experience levels. Students can expect a step-by-step curriculum rather than being thrown into the deep end. The focus on structure and community means every class is purposeful, and every student’s progress is closely supported. Modern Musashi’s ethos is that BJJ is a journey to be enjoyed, with encouragement to keep showing up and embrace steady improvement.
