Ben is a great coach
Ben is a great coach and the lesson was well structured so that we could get the most from our hour. Then open mat was a lot of fun with again everyone making us feel welcome. If you are travelling to Melbourne and want to train, then I highly recommend Jean Jacques Machado BJJ Melbourne. Of course if you are thinking of joining BJJ then this is a great place to join. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks everyone and especially thanks to Ben and Eric.

They tailor their approach to meet your needs and help you progress
While visiting Melbourne, I was searching for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym and found Jean Jacques Machado Jiu Jitsu Melbourne. The training sessions were led by Professor Ben, who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Jiu Jitsu. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, they tailor their approach to meet your needs and help you progress. Professor Ben is also very welcoming and friendly. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this gym to both locals and visitors
Many thanks to Coach Ben, Dave, and Eric! My girlfriend and I were traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area and had the pleasure of training at Jean Jacques Machado Jiu Jitsu Melbourne. Coach Ben was very welcoming, and even let us borrow gi’s as we didn’t have room to pack our own. The fundamentals class had a range of ranks, ages, and genders. The structure was informative and left plenty of time to roll and put what we learned into practice. I would highly recommend this gym to both locals and visitors like myself. I hope to come back and roll here again!

A truly spectacular place to train.
A truly spectacular place to train. Not only do you get top notch training by the coaches Ben Costa and Greg who really care about you and your progress, but the friendliness and wonderful mindset of all the people that go to this gym is better than anything else youll find in Melbourne. Ive made life long friends there in the 3 years I have had the pleasure of training, and even though I have had to move out of state I will always keep in contact with these people and always drop in for a roll when I visit Victoria. If you join here you get great training, friends to hang out with outside of classes and a massive support network for comps and other life events. Also as a bonus, had the plasure of meeting Jean Jacques Machado when he came to visit in 2023 for a training session. Couldnt reccomend this place for beginners or advanced practicioners more.

Best Jiu Jitsu in Melbourne
I had a brilliant experience here. As a busy personal trainer I was looking for a new physical activity for my routine and Coach Ben does his work very well. Clear, calm and welcoming. The girls and guys that you mingle and roll with are friendly and supportive so I had an easy time focusing on the movements and training. Best Jiu Jitsu in Melbourne.
