5th Element Jiu Jitsu Academy

Fantastic experience: Class gym with world class coaches and competitors, especially the head coach Reece, who is an attentive and detail oriented coach. Excellent environment for both beginners and advanced grappers, hobbyists and competitors alike. Been a life changing experience here and I’m proud to have gotten my promotions at this gym. 100% recommend for anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend 5th Element Jiu Jitsu Academy enough. Such a wonderful academy to be a part of. Great team spirit amongst everyone from the kids, to the teens and then the adults! Everyone supports each other and they literally have the best coaches! My little boy has been going for around 18 months and he has come on so much in such a short space of time. He has great discipline and a fantastic mindset. We cannot wait to enrol our youngest when he is old enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent kids and teens jiujitsu program. My son has been training with 5E for 4 years and in that time has won pretty much every major title and fought all over the world. In my opinion Reece is one of the best kids coach in the country. Only slight negative is they don’t allow the kids or teens to cross train with other gyms. But overall I’d still highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My son has been training with 5th element since he was 3years old. The support, guidance and training he has received from Reece, Krissy, Danny and all the other trainers has been invaluable. My son competes at competition level and is constantly being coached to a high level and never without a coach by his side. The club promotes and offers a safe environment for all individuals of all ages and abilities. Amazing club.

Fantastic experience: Best jiujitsu gym in the north east top coaches, really feel the team spirit when you walk through the door. One of the main reasons me and my son train here is because the gym is family friendly and cater for all age groups, with various sessions for all levels 7 days a week.

Fantastic experience: My 6 year old boy started here February 23. He absolutely loves it. He trains 4 times a week and can’t get enough of it. His Jiu Jitsu is coming on so much and it’s crazy how fast he’s learning and becoming more confident in the things he’s doing. He loves all the coaches from 5th Element. They put in so much effort with every child.

Fantastic experience: 5th Element is absolutely fantastic! My 7-year-old son has been training here for about a year, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The coaches are amazing - they really know their stuff and are great with kids. The facilities are top-notch, and the family-friendly atmosphere is spot on. It's not just about learning BJJ; it's about building confidence and having fun. He really enjoys the regular inhouse competitions, it gives the kids a chance to test their skills in a supportive environment. If you're looking for a place where your child can learn, grow, and have a blast doing it, I would highly recommend 5th Element Jiu Jitsu Academy!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with 5th Element for almost 2 years now. Starting anything new especially martial arts at the age of 47 was daunting but I was made very welcome at the academy, with a great attitude from knowledgeable staff as well as a fantastic environment with like minded members and a 7 day a week time table to suit every lifestyle. 5th Element is open to everyone of all ages and comes highly recommended from me to the point my family also now train here. Hard work but love every session
