Learn from 10× World Champion coaches. Train at your pace. Build your mastery. Gi and No-Gi classes for all levels — from your very first day on the mats to international competition preparation.
World-Class Coaching. Every Single Class.
At High Rollers, adult BJJ isn't a side offering — it's the backbone of an academy that has produced over 10 world champions. Every class is led by black belt coaches with international competition experience, including Head Coach Tadeu Lobato (AFBJJ #1 No-Gi 2023) and 10× World Champion Oliver Silvestro.
Whether you're stepping onto a mat for the first time or preparing for your next IBJJF tournament, the same proven methodology that built world champions is available to you. We run both Gi and No-Gi programs across all three locations with classes structured for genuine progression — not just a workout.
Most of our adult members started as complete beginners. Many came looking for fitness and found something far deeper — a discipline that challenges the mind as much as the body, a community that becomes family, and a practice they'll carry for life.
What Makes Our Adult Program Different
Six things you won't find at any other academy in Sydney.
World Champion Coaches
Not "experienced" coaches — actual world champions. 10× World Champion Oliver Silvestro and AFBJJ #1 Tadeu Lobato teach regular classes, not just special sessions.
Proven Championship System
Over 10 world champions produced through the same methodology you'll learn in every class. This system works at every level — from white belt to world stage.
12+ Black Belt Coaching Team
Not one or two coaches — a full team of 12+ black belts with diverse specialisations across Gi, No-Gi, competition, and self-defence.
Free International Seminars
We regularly bring world-class visiting coaches from Brazil, the US, and beyond — often completely free for members. Training opportunities you can't get anywhere else in Australia.
Genuine Community
No egos. No politics. No intimidation. We welcome cross-training and treat every member — from day-one beginners to black belts — with the same respect.
Three Locations
Train at North Strathfield, Parramatta, or Canberra. Your membership works everywhere. 100+ free parking at HQ.

“The level of coaching here is unreal. You're literally learning from world champions in a welcoming atmosphere. Best gym decision I've made.”

Common Questions
No. Most of our adult members started as complete beginners with zero martial arts experience. Our structured curriculum is designed to take you from day one to confident practitioner at your own pace.
Comfortable athletic clothing — a rash guard and shorts for No-Gi, or we can provide a loaner gi for Gi classes. No special equipment needed for your first session.
Gi uses a traditional uniform with grip-based techniques — more strategic and chess-like. No-Gi is faster-paced in rash guards and shorts. We teach both and most members train both styles.
BJJ follows the belt system: White → Blue → Purple → Brown → Black. Promotions are based on skill development, consistent mat time, and competition performance. No shortcuts — every belt is earned.
Yes. Your membership gives you access to all High Rollers locations — North Strathfield, Parramatta, and Canberra.
No. Live sparring is always optional, especially for beginners. You'll participate in technique instruction and partner drilling, and can observe sparring rounds until you're ready to join.
Any fitness level. BJJ will get you fit — that's part of the benefit. Classes are structured so you can work at your own intensity. Don't wait until you're "fit enough" — start now and the fitness will come.
Extremely. BJJ was designed around the principle that technique overcomes size and strength. The grappling and ground control skills you learn are directly applicable to real-world self-defence scenarios.
