Featured Testimonials
The professors here are amazing, super inspiring and supportive all the time, I used to go when I was around 7 then stopped shortly after and came back when I was 13, I am now 15 and possibly going to the world championships this year. So just give it a go and you’ll definitely enjoy it!!


“Ortiz martial arts academy is by far the best gym on the northern beaches!
Edson and Thiago both amazing coaches and I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to build resilience, make new freinds, or learn a martial art.”

This is an amazing gym – been here around 3 years now and haven’t looked back. I train mostly Brazillian Jiu Jitsu but their Self Defence and MMA classes are amazing as well. The culture is great – everyone is super welcoming and friendly! Eddie, Thiago and Rafa are amazing teachers and ensures safety and community comes first; haven’t seen a single injury during the time I’ve been here. They have classes for both kids and adults, would definitely recommend for any experience / age.


“Edson and Thiago are amazing instructors and have created an amazing academy with great members and awesome BJJ. My kids and I have trained here for the past 1.5 years and cannot recommend Ortiz academy highly enough.”

Amazing school. Edson and Thiago are fantastic teachers with a wealth of skill and knowledge and a really approachable teaching style both for adults and kids – both of my kids and I train here and are extremely happy. The school has an excellent culture at all levels and I’m proud to be involved.

My two sons go to Ortiz, both of them love it, and go as many times as they can each week (before Ortiz, my boys would attend a sport/activity once maybe twice a week and sometimes at their behest)…
If your looking for something to help your kids gain skills that will help them in their everyday lives, give Ortiz a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
