“A good Jiu Jitsu school for me is all about the Coaches, great Coaches make great students, which in turn ends up making a great school! Southside MMA has fantastic Coaches. Passionate, extremely high level practitioners that put all their time, effort and knowledge into every class with fantastic results for their students and themselves. Everyone I've met at SSMMA have been friendly and welcoming (and usually a multiple medal winner at the competition side of things too). The kids who train here learn alot more than just Jiu Jitsu. Life skills, confidence, the lot. For me it's the only place to train Jiu Jitsu in Australia.”
