WHAT WE OFFER

Fitness

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is THE best workout you can get. Challenging your body in ways it hasn’t been challenged before, asking it to move in new ways, working against a resisting opponent. Nothing gets you in shape like BJJ. We will be training in both Gi and No-Gi.

Confidence

At Balance, our promise is to deliver solid, consistent and effective teaching. At Balance you will have the opportunity to learn new skills, grow and reach new mental and physical heights. The confidence that comes with hard work, learning skills to defend yourself and practiced resilience – is priceless.

Community

At Balance, we want to give our members the opportunity to become part of a community. Individuals with a shared goal – to improve and grow. A community that promotes inclusion, encouragement and growth. We have many local community initiatives in the pipeline. At Balance, we believe in giving back.

Visiting family from overseas and came across Balance to sharpen my bjj skills. I was with Balance for only a month and can honestly say that I had a wonderful experience. Steph and Gino really do put 100% of their time and energy into their academy and students. All the practitioners that train are helpful, kind and keep safety a priority. Highly suggested if you want to dip your toes in bjj or train hard within an academy orientated towards improving skills while keeping an importance on safety in mind. Can't wait to be back on the mat with the team at Balance BJJ. Beautiful industrial open spaced area with industrial fans for ventilation. Toilets are clean and hygienic. Mats are disinfected and mopped !

I have trained at a couple of gyms and Balance is by far the best. Gino & Steph have created a great community atmosphere that welcomes everyone from beginners to my experience grapplers. It’s alway a great train with the quality techniques and enjoyable atmosphere.

I changed to Balance from another club because I had heard great things. Not only do I practise BJJ there, but both my kids also enjoy their classes. They look forward to it every week.

For anyone who is looking for a new academy or just starting out. Gino and Steph at Balance are hands down the best in the business. So welcoming and knowledgeable, my life is now so much better for finding them. 10⭐️ as 5 is not nearly enough.

My children and I started taking Ju-jitsu classes at Balance about two months ago, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Gino, Ryan and Hunter are amazing instructors who strike the perfect balance between fun and technique training for the kids. For the adults, the classes are challenging and cater to all levels. Gino and Steph, the owners of Balance, are welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. Overall, joining Balance has been one of the best decisions we've made. Highly recommend!
