About Origem BJJ Bondi.
★★★★★
I have started practicing BJJ about 9 years ago. Had been part of different teams during this long journey, but nothing compares to this guys! Its much greater than the martial art itself, it is the legacy of the philosophy that they keep alive though generations. They are not a team, they are a family! Leo is deeply connected with the old tradition that holds the essence of the martial art itself. So much knowledge and understanding of this millennial art kept for generations in his family. Carol, what a beautiful inspiring soul! Discipline, team work, honor, motivation, and above all: Respect! Respect for the ancestors who had put on their time and sweat on the mats to develop and improve the technique we are learning our days. What I have learned on the mats with them are kept in heart and I am caring for life! Thank you, guys! big Oss!

Two months after meeting Leo and Origem family, I can say that with each passing day I feel more proud and grateful to train in this space. family atmosphere, a lot of humility and a spirit of mutual help. Best place for someone who has just moved to Australia. there is no sport as complete as jiu-jitsu, whether body or mind, and in Origem the true values ​​are passed on, thank you so much.

★★★★★
Such an excellent gym. Going to a new martial arts gym of any sort is usually nerve wracking, but not here. The instructors are not only extremely technically skilled but also very friendly and patient teachers. The classes are small enough to have a family feeling and big enough for you to roll with multiple new people each session. All the facilities are super nice and the mats are always clean. Overall Leo and Carol run a fantastic gym!
