SABJJ | Jiu Jitsu Academy | Adelaide

I began my BJJ journey at this gym. Unfortunately I live further south now and can no longer attend. But the sense of community at this gym is unparalleled across Adelaide. The coaches are all high level and the training partners are plentiful, with a wide range of skill level’s. The Toyama family are one a kind and it shows in the strong community vibe of the gym. So much love for this place. I hope this place stays open for a long time and keeps honouring the memory of the legend Michael Toyama, my first ever BJJ coach. Keep up the great work Gavin and Gregg, I love watching this gym grow more and more each year on social media.

Dropped into SABJJ in Adelaide for a fundamentals session, stayed for open mat and am genuinely impressed. The mats were spotless and well-maintained, which immediately made it feel professional and comfortable. The instruction and training structure was clear, structured, and easy to follow What stood out most was the culture. The people are respectful, welcoming, and inclusive regardless of experience level. It feels safe to roll as a female and a smaller human! It’s also conveniently located close to the CBD, making it an easy option to fit into a busy schedule. Even from one visit, it was clear this is a thoughtful, well-run gym with a strong sense of community. Would definitely return and make this my regular BJJ gym!

Really welcoming gym. I have been training here for over 2 years now and have always enjoyed it. The environment is safe and many high level people to learn from and train with. The classes have a good balance of Gi and Nogi, and there is lots of opportunity to learn and grow. The facilities are great, the mat space is always clean and it is large. There is also a gym to get a workout in. Amazing place to train.

I trained at SABJJ while I was in Adelaide and had an amazing experience. The gym has a beautiful vibe with a very welcoming and friendly community. Everyone was approachable, and it was easy to feel comfortable even as a visitor. The coaches are extremely thorough and detailed, taking the time to explain techniques properly and making sure everyone understands the movements. I learned some great techniques during my time there and had some really amazing rolls with the team. There are also plenty of opportunities to roll with the black belts, which I really appreciated. They will actually call you over to roll, take the time to teach you, and share their knowledge. That kind of culture says a lot about the gym. One thing I really appreciate is how the team cleans the mats after every session — it shows great discipline and respect for the training environment. Great people, great rolls, and a great community. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in Adelaide. OSS! 🥋🔥💪

I’ve been training at SABJJ for about 4 months now and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From day one, the environment has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented, which makes a huge difference. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, regardless of level, Gavin goes above and beyond for this place. It’s a great balance of high-level BJJ and an awesome community. Highly recommend SABJJ to anyone looking to start their grappling journey or looking for a new place to call home.
