Terra Luta Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the premier martial arts academy in Gympie, Queensland, dedicated to building strong, respectful, and resilient individuals through the art of grappling. Located at 112 Duke Street, this acclaimed dojo serves as the longest-serving affiliate of Cia Paulista Australia (Cpabjj) in the country, offering a comprehensive training environment for all ages and skill levels. With a mission centered on respect, discipline, and mateship, Terra Luta provides both recreational classes and elite competition training designed to empower students in self-defense, submission grappling, and MMA.
The academy offers a diverse schedule of adult programs tailored to every journey. Beginners are welcomed into All Levels Gi & No-Gi classes, where they master fundamental movements, positions, and techniques in a supportive setting. For those seeking advanced challenges, the Dark Arts No-Gi class focuses on complex submission systems, including leg locks and neck attacks, while the Wrestling/Judo and Striking/MMA classes enhance stand-up grappling and stand-up striking skills. A dedicated Women’s Only class provides a safe space for female students to learn fundamentals, and Strength & Conditioning sessions ensure grapplers build the physical resilience needed for the mats. Personal training is also available with Black Belt coaches Rex Carney and Tim Aitken, who offer specialized coaching in grappling, fitness, and NDIS-friendly support.
For the younger generation, Terra Luta’s Kids Program is structured to create bully-proof, confident, and community-minded martial artists. Divided into age-specific tiers—Terras (4-6 years), Lutas (7-9 years), and Juniors (10-14 years)—the curriculum progresses from playful coordination drills to technical sparring and chaining techniques. Led by experienced instructors, these classes foster teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence in a safe, inclusive environment that aligns with Queensland school terms.
The coaching staff features highly decorated and experienced professionals, including Head Coach Rex Carney (2nd Degree Black Belt), who has produced multiple State, National, and Pan Pacific champions. He is joined by Tim Aitken (1st Degree Black Belt) and Jas Bicsak (Black Belt), both bringing vast experience from military, correctional, and international competitive backgrounds. Whether you are looking to join the vibrant community, test your skills in local and international competitions, or simply improve your fitness, Terra Luta BJJ offers a world-class training experience in the heart of Gympie.
