Professor Paulo Tavares
Welcome to the Australian Academy of Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense
We offer programs specifically designed to empower your body, mind and spirit through the practice of Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense.
Most acknowledge the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu Jitsu techniques however only those who practice the art really understand its psychological benefits.
By knowing how to defend themselves from physical aggressions, one becomes naturally more confident, knowing that, in worst case scenario, he or she is able to handle any situation.
The improvements are gradual and it covers areas such as focus, resilience, keeping calm under pressure, core strength, flexibility.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the only martial arts that has proven to enable the smaller person to defeat a much larger opponent, the result is that our students become confident but not arrogant, humble but not submissive.
The techniques used on Gracie Jiu Jitsu are based on leverage. They was developed by Helio Gracie, a 60kg man, small in stature. Which could defeat any opponent, often weighing double of his weight.
We offer Gracie Jiu Jitsu programs for Children (anti-bulying), Teenagers, Adults & Ladies Only Self Defense (Ladies Empowered). The classes are suitable to everyone, from any background or fitness level also personal goals and physical limitations are respected.
If you life far away and have a group of friends that like to train together but have no guidance. We also offer a Instructor's course, which will enable you to run the training sessions with structure and safety.

Training Here
We follow the programs developed by the Great Master Helio Gracie, the teaching methodology is also the same one that has empowered so many people all over the world since 1925
Regardless of the program you are applying for, upon your arrival, we will have a quick chat to get to know you, your goals and expectations, your past experiences and maybe any injuries you may carry. All that is taken in consideration before you start to make sure you will have the best we can offer.
Once you step on the mats for the first time, you will be taken aside for specific drills and simulations. Those are the very basic first steps you will take in a life long journey.
During your first class you will not be put to spar ( "to roll" as we call it ), you will only start "to roll" with other students after you have mastered the 6 basic drills that are part of the "Launch Pad", developed with the goal to give the calm and confidence to start your Jiu Jitsu life with safety.
Safety is actually a great matter for us. We know that you will have to perform your work, studies or sports so we pay very much attention to your safety while training.
Another matter that we give much attention is the cleanness on the mats. It is important that you wear a clean outfit, clean feet, short finger nails & toe nails, it is important to use a deodorant to keep away bad smells.
