Newcastle is the sixth largest city in Australia, and its surrounding regions offer a vast array of experiences. I was born and raised in the region and this city has been the perfect location for my academy.

We teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts in a great atmosphere where everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Our students come to understand that the benefits of martial arts go far beyond acquiring life saving skills and techniques, or getting their body into great shape. They gain greater self-confidence, improved health and fitness, self-discipline and their lives change for the better.

The programs offerred by the Academy are tailored to serve people from different ages and backgrounds. Students range in age from as young as fifteen to more than sixty, boys and girls, mums and dads.

So don’t waste anymore time! Come to visit us and start training martials arts and be part of the Gracie Barra family.

See you on the mats,
Professor Jamie Ballard
