Our Story
ABOUT FJJ
More than a gym. More than training. A community built on respect, growth, and the pursuit of excellence.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Francis Jiu Jitsu was founded with a simple belief: everyone deserves a place to train, grow, and belong. No egos. No attitudes. Just people helping people get better.
Located in Leeming, Perth, we've built a community where first-timers train alongside competitors, where parents learn next to their kids, and where the journey matters as much as the destination.
Whether you're looking for fitness, self-defence, competition prep, or just a second family—you'll find it here.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our values shape everything we do—how we teach, how we train, how we treat each other.
Community First
We're a family. We celebrate each other's wins, support each other through struggles, and grow together.
Continuous Learning
There's always more to learn. We approach every session with curiosity, whether it's your first day or your thousandth.
Respect & Safety
We train hard, but we train smart. Every partner is treated with respect. Every session is safe for everyone.
Growth Mindset
Failures are lessons. Challenges are opportunities. Every setback is a setup for a comeback.
Inclusivity
Everyone belongs here. Regardless of age, gender, background, or experience—there's a place for you on our mats.
Excellence
We don't do average. We push each other to be better—better grapplers, better people, better versions of ourselves.
