Technique Jiu Jitsu Templestowe Offering modern coaching for Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.

Hello to our wonderful members, thanks for your support whilst these things are on the scene. Just a reminder that next week there will be no daytime practice but all evening classes will be on as normal. The full timetable will resume on the 11/03/2024

Evening practice on as normal.

Change is difficult to accept, yet it is inevitable.

A wealth of information creates poverty of attention. Understanding and knowledge are not the same thing.

Consider this for a moment… The standard learning paradigm dictates we prepare for a situation where you will encounter active resistance by practicing in the absence of active resistance… of course people get frustrated when things don’t work for them when the go live! There are methods to practice and learn in a live setting without just resorting to just “sparring hard”. See how we do it at

The mat is a place where we go to discover what we are capable of. We will discover nothing in the absence of challenge.

Full schedule in effect as of today, see techniquejiujitsu.com.au for details. See you on the mat!

Coaching… in my opinion is vastly different than being an instructor. To me an instructor is more invested in enforcing a specific tradition or methodology. A coach is there to construct and facilitate a practice in which the sole purpose of the exercise is to help the athlete / learner improve their abilities and their performance.

The final instalment… Catastrophe. To blow things completely out of proportion in one’s own mind. A stoic philosopher once wrote that we suffer more in our imagination than we do in reality. To catastrophise any circumstance is to do exactly that.

If technique, skill in action is something we believe in. It is a belief that must be exposed, used and tested… not hidden behind. Or else it is meaningless.
