BJJ COACHES
Marcos
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Coach
My name is Marcos, and I am originally from Brazil. I began my martial arts journey at the age of 10 through Karate and have never stopped since then. I’ve experienced diverse styles such as Judo, wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ.
I fell in love with BJJ, have been practicing it for over 11 years, and had the pleasure of training with some of the best coaches in Australia, which helped me develop my own coaching style. I feel very lucky and privileged to have come across Lucas and the rest of the BFC team.
Robbie
BJJ Coach
I started my martial arts journey in 2011 in Melbourne, looking to learn a new skill and get in shape. What began as training for MMA quickly became a passion for Jiu Jitsu.
Now a purple belt, I’ve been hooked since day one. In early 2024, our family moved to Bendigo to spend more time with our kids, who’ve both started their own Jiu Jitsu journey here at BFC. Sharing the mats with them has made the sport even more meaningful to me.
Jiu Jitsu brings together learning, fitness, and community—three things I’m deeply passionate about. It builds confidence, sharpens the mind, and keeps you active. I can’t recommend it enough. Come roll with us and see for yourself!
