60 BJJ Academies in Perth.
Perth's BJJ scene runs through the AFBJJ Western Australia chapter (AFBJJWA, based at Shop 5, 91 Wanneroo Rd in Greenwood) and a handful of locally-rooted promotions including SGT Tournaments and the Australasian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship. AFBJJ's WA State Championship feeds into the Australian Champions Cup national championship. ADCC Australia ran the Perth Open at Craigie Leisure Centre in 2023, with additional Perth editions in 2024.
The academy map covers most of the metro. Jean Jacques Machado BJJ Perth at Unit 4/28 Canham Way in Greenwood is the JJM Association's WA anchor under head instructor Paolo Gizzarelli. Gracie Barra Mount Lawley sits at Suite 3, 800 Beaufort St. Bravos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in O'Connor (with a Joondalup branch) is led by head coach Rodrigo Giraldes — a black belt under Adriano "Grifo" Silva — registered with both IBJJF and AFBJJ. Kaizen Lab Jiujitsu sits at 185 Claisebrook Road in East Perth under founder Brandon Chin. Perth Martial Arts Centre runs locations in Malaga (16 Trade Rd) and Ellenbrook with head BJJ coach Master Goioere (3rd-degree black belt, Clube Feijão / Nova União lineage). Legion 13 Perth Hills in Midvale is led by Mike Featherstone (3rd-degree). 80/20 BJJ in Midland runs no-gi only at Unit 1, 206 Great Eastern Hwy.
Perth's competition culture is real — multiple promotions, an active state circuit, and ADCC interest — though its mat-tourism layer runs lighter than the eastern capitals.
