Carlos Gracie, after learning the martial art opened the Academia Gracie and started to teach the art. Maeda was fundamental to the development of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, specifically his teaching of Carlos Gracie.
Its origins stem from the Japanese Kodokan Judo which was introduced to the Gracie family in Brazil by Master Mitsuyo Maeda in the early 1900’s. Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that enables practitioners to use their LEVERAGE to apply techniques, manoeuvres and counters on an opponent, in order to gain a physical advantage. It’s jiu jitsu, it’s for a lifetime, and we’re here ready for you. Here you will learn in a beginner friendly, safe environment. The difference at Higher Jiu Jitsu? We shape the path to quality of life. We are here to help the everyday people of Sydney learn BJJ Gracie Jiu Jitsu. And you welcome excitement throughout your week.
You’d like to move better, and live healthy. You want to learn effective self defence skills that don’t rely on being big and strong. In 2022 another milestone was achieved when we opened our very own Higher Jiu Jitsu in Sydenham, Sydney’s Inner West. And we’re part of a worldwide network of students and successful schools. We’re privy to Brazil camps and annual trips to our school from the man Pedro himself. We get stronger with the guidance of both Phillip Grapsas and Master Pedro. We inherited a tried and tested curriculum to apply in our school. Since this time our school has only progressed higher and higher (pun intended) and it has been by sharing the mechanics of Pedro Sauer jiu jitsu. We would affiliate with Team Pedro Sauer and Leverage Jiu Jitsu Academy. Higher Jiu Jitsu would no longer be a lone wolf. His sidekick Phillip Grapsas was also there in attendance, further explaining mechanics and blowing Coach John’s brain with knowledge. It was the answers to jiu jitsu that John had been looking for for many years. Every thing that Master Sauer showed made so much sense. Thankfully he went, and he was simply blown away. After being told about the legend of Pedro Sauer many times, John was told of his seminar happening in Sydney. Enter Higher Jiu Jitsu.Īnother chance encounter further shaped the path of our young school. No longer were we the young mat rats, we had a job to do and that was to share Gracie Jiu Jitsu self defence.

After a few months at the school, Prof Super Steve gave John his brown belt, and perhaps more importantly the belief and the confidence to transform the Commune from an open mat to a full fledged Jiu jitsu academy. It was at this time that Professor Steve Maxwell randomly showed up one day for class in Woolloomooloo and shared the way of Gracie Jiu Jitsu self defence. Slowly but surely the new members began to come in, and open mats weren’t working. Originally the intention was an open mat style of training, where the Sydney jiu jitsu community could come together without the politics. It started with the Jiu Jitsu Commune at the PCYC City of Sydney.
After a nasty shoulder injury at a purple belt competition ended Coach John’s competitive abilities, his attention turned to running a school and facilitating the journey for others.
