I've been training at this Jiu-Jitsu gym for a few months now, and I can't say enough good things about it. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping students improve, no matter their skill level. The atmosphere is super welcoming and supportive, and the training partners are respectful and push you to be better.

I got to know deeper about The Academy of Ground (AOG) through a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu friend of mine. That’s what he said ‘The AOG is running by one of the greatest and highly recommended Instructor in Brisbane - the ‘brazilian old dude’ has one of the best reputation in Australia’, and I couldn’t agree more with this testimonial. Instructor Antonio Lauro has a powerful personal story why he started doing Jiu Jitsu back in Brazil, with an endurance journey till he got his black belt to arrive in Australia, and founded AGO together with his wife Kory - yoga teacher. Today, he runs his Academy together with his son Instructor Rurik - also Black Belt and Instructor at young age (mid-30). From competition, physical health, life philosophy, or creating a healthier lifestyle, whatever you are looking for with Jiu Jitsu, you will find at AGO. Such group of mature Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) lovers, competitors and professionals that are always willing to help you through yours and your family BJJ’s journey. As for me, when I wrote this review I had just almost 30 sessions of BJJ at AGO and I am feeling completed addicted and obsessed to it - and this would not had happened without AGO crew. (Detail: I decided to do that at 49 y/old, on my 50th year of my life). BJJ is for all ages. From young kids to 60 and 70s, you won’t regretted. Stop waiting, take action and see you on AGO mat. Ossy.

I spent three days training at the Academy of Grounding - it was the best way to spend my short time in Brisbane. It’s a beautiful dojo with a great atmosphere. Everyone I met was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and there was such a strong community feel just from my first class. I loved the structure of the jiu jitsu classes - all the teaching was very logical and methodical which helped me easily connect all the techniques. The gym were kind enough to help me prepare for a competition I had - at the Saturday open mat, multiple people I had only met once, or not even met before, gave me their time, attention, and advice to help me before the comp. I was so sad to leave the gym and couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you guys!! 🙏🏽

Such a welcoming and friendly environment to learn in. Teachers are very knowledgable and willing to take time for each and every student. Both my girlfriend and I cannot recommend this place enough to our friends who are looking to do brazillian jujitsu, yoga, or ginastica natural.
