Terra Luta Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

A special night for the academy.

It was awesome to see so many of our team on the mats to celebrate 15 years of TLBJJ. Congratulations to everyone who earned new stripes and promotions through hard work, consistency and perseverance.

A special congratulations to our new coloured belts:

🔵 Blue Belts: Red, Brett, Nate & (our youngest ever blue belt) Jeremiah
🟣 Purple Belts: Lochie & Mack
🟤 Brown Belt: Natham Moran

And a huge congratulations to Campbell “Gumbo” Handy, Terra Luta BJJ’s newest black belt.

Cam has been with us since the early days of the academy and has played a massive role in building the culture we have today. He now leads our Friday Advanced No-Gi class and is an outstanding coach and teammate. He’s someone who gives far more to the academy than he ever asks in return.

It was a genuine honour to award Cam his black belt alongside my coach and friend, Master Carlos Vieira.

Cam becomes just the 6th person to earn a black belt at TLBJJ in our 15 years in the 4570. Along with his belt, he also received the TLBJJ Hatchet.. a symbol of efficiency, responsibility, and the commitment to protect those you care about.

Congratulations, Gumbo. Your black belt has been earned through years of loyalty, humility and relentless hard work. We’re proud to call you one of ours.

Champions on and off the mats. 🪓🥋

Gold for Jeremiah, all wins by submission!

Jerry is only 15 years old, but he represents exactly what we’re building at TLBJJ.

He came through our kids program, built strong fundamentals, discipline and great habits, and this year made the transition into our adult classes.
He now trains with the adults while still competing in his own age division, where he continues to achieve great results.
This gold medal wasn’t built overnight. It was earned through consistent effort.

Our vision is simple, to create a pathway where kids can start young, grow through every stage of the academy, transition into the adult program, and become humble, confident and resilient young men and women.

Jerry is proof that the pathway works.
…Although he’s still a work in progress. I’m still trying to improve his humility! 😂

15 Years of TLBJJ

This June 26–27 we are celebrating 15 years of Gympie’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu club TERRA LUTA!

We’re honoured to welcome CPABJJ head coach, Master Carlos Vieira back to the academy for a special weekend featuring:
🥋 Kids Gi Comp Class
🥋 Adult Gi Seminar
🥋 Adult Gradings
🥋 Kids Gradings
🥋 Kids In-House Gi Comp

For 15 years we’ve stayed true to our path: One Academy. One Coach. One Affiliation.

Respect • Discipline • Mateship

One of the greatest honours of coaching is being trusted by parents to help guide their kids through moments like this.

This weekend Levi became the youngest student I’ve ever coached at a Jiu-Jitsu tournament. He stepped onto the mat with courage, had a crack, made some mates and walked away with a huge smile on his face.

Safe to say he was pretty stoked. So was his coach.

THE DARK ARTS 🔥

FRIDAYS — 6:00PM
112 Duke Street
With Coach Cam.

This isn’t your average No-Gi class.
The Dark Arts is built for students wanting to level up the dangerous side of grappling — leglocks, wristlocks, control systems and all the sneaky stuff your training partners complain about later.

Whether you want to:
✔️ Expand your submission game
✔️ Improve your No-Gi grappling
✔️ Learn modern leglock systems
✔️ Build confidence in scrambles & transitions
✔️ Train hard with experienced teammates

…this class is for you.

High energy rounds. Technical details that actually work. A good crew that loves the grind and a bit of chaos.

⚠️ Minimum 3 months training required
⚠️ Not a beginner class
⚠️ Expect pressure, pace and problem solving

Embrace the dark side.
