Locals Jiu Jitsu Marrickville

Locals Jiu Jitsu Marrickville is more than a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy - it’s a place where people come to train, improve, connect and belong.

Built around the idea of “Your Third Space,” Locals is a modern, welcoming academy designed for everyone - complete beginners, experienced practitioners, competitors, kids and families.

Our approach to Jiu Jitsu is simple: train hard, have fun, look after each other and keep getting better.

Whether your goal is to learn self-defence, get fitter, build confidence, compete at the highest level or simply find a great community, you’ll find a place here.

Jiu Jitsu For Everyone

Our programs are designed to suit all ages and experience levels. From kids taking their first steps onto the mats to adults looking for a challenging new pursuit, our classes focus on practical Jiu Jitsu, quality coaching and consistent development.

For our kids, Jiu Jitsu is about much more than learning techniques. It teaches discipline, confidence, resilience, respect and the ability to stay calm when things get difficult.

For adults, it’s an opportunity to challenge yourself, get in great shape and surround yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

A Different Kind of Academy

We believe a great academy should feel like somewhere you want to be.

There are no egos, no intimidation and no expectation that you need to be fit or experienced before you start. Everyone was a beginner once.

Our members come from all walks of life, but once they step onto the mats, they become part of the same team.

We train together. We push each other. We celebrate each other's wins. And when things get tough, we help each other keep going.

Come Find Your Third Space

You don’t need to know Jiu Jitsu to start.

You just need to walk through the door.
