Frequently Asked Questions

do I need to be fit?

Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. People at all levels of fitness can try Jiu Jitsu and by adopting it as a lifestyle you will form healthy habits and make positive lifestyle choices that increase your fitness levels. 

is your gym clean ?

We take hygiene standards very seriously at UJJ, and we vacuum, mop and disinfect our gym each night after training. We also communicate our gym etiquette rules to everyone.

working with children check?

All our instructors have current Working with Children’s Checks and are very experienced training our youngest members. Children’s safety is paramount to us, and our priority is to create a safe environment for children to learn and develop their skills over many years.

how often should i train?

For your own development, we recommend training at least twice a week as the minimum requirement. If you’re able to train 3 - 5 times per week, you will see much faster progress in your fitness, techniques and understanding of Jiu Jitsu.

how do memberships work?

We recommend that everyone takes a trial class, to see how they go. After this, if all goes well, check out our membership options to join. We don’t have any contracts, enrolment fees, or upfront payments, so you can cancel anytime and resume anytime. Just get in touch with us and we can help you out.

do families get discounts?

Yes, we do and we have lots of families training at UJJ. Reach out to the individual UJJ locations to find out membership options for families.

Fill in the form for a free trial — we can't wait to meet you.

    This is more than just a place of learning. The instructors make you feel like you are family and they have dedicated their whole lives to passing on their extensive knowledge of martial arts to the community. Easy location, fair prices and expert instruction. Particularly good for children who want to learn confidence, self-discipline and have inspirational mentors.

    The best BJJ school you could hope for. Great people, great teacher, great atmosphere. The epitome of 'family' when it comes to martial arts. Easy going atmosphere and a wide range of techniques to learn on a weekly basis.

    Prof. Trefon has been training my husband and kids for many years now at ROOTS BJJ Erskineville. It has all the amenities that you want in a training center, but the one thing that differs from the rest is the family unity you get here at ROOTS BJJ Erskineville. Prof. Trefon’s dedication to his students exceeds above and beyond my expectations. Thank you for bringing out the confidence and courage in my girls and the honour and respect in my boys. My youngest (3YO) can’t wait to join the family. Highly recommend ROOTS BJJ Erskineville.

    Roots Erskinville is a fantastic place to learn BJJ! The classes are thoughtfully planned and well conducted. With large mat space and high celling facilities, there is plenty of breathing space. Would highly recommend training here!
