BJJ teaches kids something most sports can’t; how to stay calm when things feel hard.
They learn patience, resilience, and problem-solving… without even realising it.
Book a trial and watch the change happen

A Masterclass in the Details 🥋

There’s a difference between learning techniques…
and experiencing a true masterclass.

When Professor Jason Roebig steps on the mats, you feel it immediately.
The room sharpens. The details matter more. The basics go deeper.

His approach is relentlessly technical — not flashy, not rushed — just precise, efficient Jiu Jitsu built on rock-solid fundamentals.

Every grip has purpose.
Every angle has meaning.
Every adjustment changes the outcome.

This is the kind of knowledge that can’t be rushed.
It’s refined over decades.
And we’re incredibly grateful to learn from a Professor who embodies what true Jiu Jitsu is about.

Technical. Disciplined. Timeless.

Thank you, Professor 🙏

The Legacy and Lineage of Axis Jiu-Jitsu Melbourne 🥋
Axis Jiu-Jitsu Melbourne stands on the shoulders of giants — carrying a lineage that traces back to Rickson Gracie, through Takamasa Watanabe of Axis Jiu-Jitsu Japan, to Jason Roebig of Axis Jiu-Jitsu Australia, and now to Robbie Aardoom, founder of Axis Jiu-Jitsu Melbourne.
Our story began in Japan in 1997 when Takamasa Watanabe, a Rickson Gracie black belt, opened one of the first official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academies outside Brazil. His dedication to discipline, efficiency, and connection shaped generations of practitioners around the world.
From there, the Axis legacy grew in Australia through Jason Roebig, who received his black belt from both Kron Gracie and Takamasa Watanabe.
Jason was introduced to Rickson Gracie by Watanabe — an encounter that transformed his understanding of Jiu-Jitsu forever. Rickson’s teachings on breathwork, posture, and connection became the foundation of Jason’s approach, influencing countless students across the country.
Robbie Aardoom continued this lineage by opening Axis Jiu-Jitsu Melbourne, after earning his black belt under Jason Roebig. What makes Axis Melbourne unique is Robbie’s integration of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) — blending the art of movement and posture with the timeless principles of Jiu-Jitsu.
Through posture, breathing, and efficient movement, students discover how to generate effortless strength and fluid control — aligning perfectly with Rickson’s philosophy that “Jiu-Jitsu is the expression of the human body in its most natural form.”
At Axis Melbourne, you’re not just learning techniques. You’re part of a living legacy built on efficiency, control, adaptability, and self-mastery.
Train with purpose. Move with awareness. Breathe with power.
Welcome to the Axis family.
