Academy 411’s adult Brazilian jiu jitsu classes are designed to be supportive and welcoming so you can build your jiu jitsu skills without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed. We teach Brazilian jiu jitsu for adults, students, and even kids over 5, with classes designed to help people learn regardless of their experience.
We offer a range of memberships so that everyone can try Brazilian jiu jitsu. Options include adult class packs or casual passes, students and kids (both with class packs available), and special discounted traitor cross-training memberships without gradings.
Brazilian jiu jitsu is a multi-disciplinary self-defense martial art and combat sport, combining the traditional Japanese strikes and throws with more modern grappling and submission techniques. Academy 411’s adult Brazilian jiu jitsu classes let you learn new skills, keep fit, and feel confident in your ability to defend yourself.
We built Academy 411 to be the most advanced space possible, and we’re proud of what we created. With a custom-built, state-of-the-art mat space that spans 140 sqm, it’s the only real spring-loaded mat in the eastern suburbs. We also have large air-con and heating units to keep students comfortable all year round.
Beginners are very welcome at our adult jiu jitsu classes, with classes designed to teach you the basic techniques to get you started on your Brazilian jiu jitsu journey. Our classes are a great way to improve fitness, confidence, and flexibility, in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Academy 411 isn’t just for beginners, our coaches compete regularly and it’s one of our founding goals to help people create a pathway for them to enter the competitive world of BJJ. We believe that competing allows you to rapidly improve your skills, and with expert guidance from our coaching staff, we can help practitioners of all skill levels improve and refine their skills.
Academy 411 is the best place for students to improve their fitness, build confidence, and learn new skills with a team that is supportive and friendly. Every instructor at Academy 411 has certified working with children checks and is qualified in first aid and CPR for your peace of mind, and we offer flexible memberships and schedules so you can attend classes that best suit you.
Unlike Japanese jiu jitsu, which is a more traditional martial art with strikes and throws, BJJ focuses on using leverage and techniques to teach you the skills needed to defend yourself against larger opponents. This means our Brazilian jiu jitsu for adults is fantastic for building strength, as well as confidence in your own ability to defend yourself.

We have a special ‘traitor’ membership that lets you join as many classes as you like, without taking part in gradings or promotions. Keep yourself fit and learn new skills at your own pace without giving up traditional gym workouts!

Some Of the best coaches available in Aus. Couldn’t be happier to be training here in Sydney.Posted on Alberto Mangas7 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This gym is amazing, and so are the coaches. The level of detail on the techniques really make a difference, and so does the great atmosphere at the academy 💪🏻 Would recommend to anyone that’s looking for a place to train in SydneyPosted on Steven Milogiannakis4 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Four Eleven is sick! They have both great gi and no gi coaches. They watch your rolls and give you feedback. They support you at competitions and genuinely care about you. Happy to have trained here.Posted on Jonathon M1 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined Academy 411 last year having never tried Jiu jitsu before, the owners/staff immediately made me feel at home and comfortable.The gym is one of the most welcoming environments I’ve ever had the pleasure of being apart of and 411 feels like a family. On top of that the coaches are constantly adapting techniques/game-plans to be on top of the constantly evolving sport that modern jiu jitsu has become allowing members to evolve with the sport and constantly up their game. 10/10 would recommend also neurodivergent friendly 😎Posted on Maab18 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Academy 411 has been an incredible addition to my jits routine. They offer a "Traitor Membership," which is perfect for those who already train elsewhere but want to supplement their training with quality sessions (me). The gym facilities itself are top-tier with great matspace, an aesthetic vibe and some of the cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen at a jits gym. There’s a strong competition focus with a diverse range of athletes, from hobbyists to serious competitors, making every session a great mix of technical work and hard rounds. Also super nice and friendly peeps. I train both gi and nogi here, and both programs are solid, with a good balance of instruction and intensity. An excellent place to train. Highly recommend for anyone looking to cross-train!Posted on Kogar Cetinich15 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
