Head Coach

Nathan Sawyer

Nathan has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 14 years and earned a black belt in 2023 under the guidance of Jason Carton from Bunbury BJJ and Grayson West from Legion 13.

With a rich competition history from white to brown belt, Nathan has now shifted focus to teaching, dedicating the past year to instructing locally and previously teaching internationally at Tiger Muay Thai.

The journey into BJJ began many years ago when Nathan started to train in MMA with his brother. He became quickly fascinated with effectiveness of the ground fighting art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nathan is passionate about helping students develop their own unique styles and paths in BJJ, fostering personal growth and adaptability in every class.

Owner/Coach

Jason Hall

Jason has been training jiu jitsu for 9 years after playing rugby all his life in the UK and Australia.

Jason started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu later than most at 47 years old, he was still looking for a physical challenge without the injuries. After being introduced to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu he was hooked from the first lesson.

Jason and Head Coach Nathan have been consistent training partners for the last 9 years, guided by 3rd degree black belt Jason Carton at Bunbury BJJ.

“my goal is to encourage those who think they are too old, too unfit, not as flexible as they used to be to give it a go. Jiu Jitsu really has changed my life. I train 5-6 days per week, and it motivates me to keep fit and healthy, whilst also allowing me to connect with great people. After all what could be more fun than strangling your friends…!”
