Vanguard Jiu Jitsu - Mandurah

Vanguard Jiu Jitsu - Mandurah has been a fixture in the Mandurah martial arts community since 2016, established with the aim of making high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible to locals of all ages. The academy was formerly known as GFTeam Mandurah and carries the legacy of that internationally respected grappling affiliation. Head coach Leo Bobadilla, a fourth-degree black belt with nearly three decades of experience in both Brazil and Australia, leads the team. Leo’s background includes a long competitive career in Rio de Janeiro, years spent refereeing at major events, and a personal commitment to training and teaching that shapes the school’s approach. Classes at Vanguard Jiu Jitsu are structured for progression, with dedicated programs for kids (from age four), teens, and adults. The curriculum covers both the fundamental and advanced principles of BJJ, always emphasising sound technique, safety, and the underlying philosophy of the art. Every class is designed to deliver a complete Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, whether students are interested in self-defence, fitness, or competition. The team’s instructors are all certified and bring substantial grappling experience to the mats. The academy’s teaching philosophy is grounded in discipline, respect, and community. Beginners are given particular attention, with a strong focus on building foundational skills and healthy training habits from the outset. Many members describe the gym as a supportive, family-like environment, where encouragement and personal growth are valued alongside technical improvement. Vanguard Jiu Jitsu continues to serve Mandurah as a place where students can develop both on and off the mats under the guidance of experienced coaches.
