Our Story
From a Small Room to a Thriving Academy
In 2016, Coach Galera opened the doors of a small gym in Bandon town centre with a few mats and a lot of belief. The space was tight, but the community grew fast.
In 2022, we moved to our current premises with a custom sprung floor, giving us the room to grow into the academy we are today, offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids, teenagers, and adults, as well as recreational gymnastics.
Ten years on, the gym has produced competitive grapplers at the highest level, confident young athletes, and a community of families who have made these mats their second home.

Celebration Week Schedule
A full week of classes, seminars, and community events. Free sessions are open to everyone, whether you've trained with us before or not.
Giving Back
Supporting Bandon Community First Responders
All classes during celebration week are free, but we'll be collecting donations for the Bandon Community First Responders, a dedicated group of volunteers trained to attend emergency calls in our area when every minute counts.
They work under the National Ambulance Service and are currently raising funds to replace community defibrillators and keep them maintained with pads and batteries. Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference to this life-saving service right here in Bandon.
Ten years in this town, and Bandon has given us everything. This is a small way to give something back.
Bring a Mate
Bring a Friend for Free
During celebration week, every current member can bring a friend to any class for free. No form, no sign-up, just show up with your mate.
It's the best way to introduce someone to what we do here. If they enjoy it, they can sign up in their own time.
