ABOUT

I have started practicing BJJ about 9 years ago. Had been part of different teams during this long journey, but nothing compares to this guys! Its much greater than the martial art itself, it is the legacy of the philosophy that they keep alive though generations. They are not a team, they are a family! Leo is deeply connected with the old tradition that holds the essence of the martial art itself. So much knowledge and understanding of this millennial art kept for generations in his family. Carol, what a beautiful inspiring soul! Discipline, team work, honor, motivation, and above all: Respect! Respect for the ancestors who had put on their time and sweat on the mats to develop and improve the technique we are learning our days. What I have learned on the mats with them are kept in heart and I am caring for life! Thank you, guys! big Oss!

Two months after meeting Leo and Origem family, I can say that with each passing day I feel more proud and grateful to train in this space. family atmosphere, a lot of humility and a spirit of mutual help. Best place for someone who has just moved to Australia. there is no sport as complete as jiu-jitsu, whether body or mind, and in Origem the true values ​​are passed on, thank you so much.

This is the best place to train BJJ in Eastern Suburbs hands down! Amazing Master Leo, great teachings from Carol, Dimitri, Paul, Daniel and Marty... Such a brilliant and welcoming atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it more!

I started training at Origem a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! Everyone is so friendly and all the trainers are top quality. There is a really good atmosphere in there and everyone helps eachother. I would highly recommend :)

Best people, awesome BJJ techniques! This Gym is definitely going to keep your JiuJitsu as tight as ever, yourself fit, and enlarge your friendship network! Mestre Leo Machado also comes from a Helio Gracie lineage through his father, one of the few authentic Coral belt grand masters.

I can't speak highly enough of this gym, the owners, the instructors and most of all the people who attend. Leo and Carol teach such a high level of BJJ and all the higher belts are incredibly humble and helpful during every roll. Best BJJ in Sydney and possibly the world!!!

If you are looking to enjoy yourself and get fit, have friends and family, and a supportive team, this is the place to be. Nothing but the best, beautiful old school jui jitsu, ever since I started at Origem Brazilian Jui Jitsu, it has been life changing for me, Leo and Carol have taken me in as if I am family to them. I travel almost an hour every time I train and it is worth every second of it, they are amazing trainers, very inspiring, always trying to help you progress, always looking after you and stick by you every step of the way. Happy to be part of the team and family, and wouldn't want to be in other gym.

Such an excellent gym. Going to a new martial arts gym of any sort is usually nerve wracking, but not here. The instructors are not only extremely technically skilled but also very friendly and patient teachers. The classes are small enough to have a family feeling and big enough for you to roll with multiple new people each session. All the facilities are super nice and the mats are always clean. Overall Leo and Carol run a fantastic gym!
