Forza Jiu Jitsu Ashfield

Best gym in Sydney. Good for beginners but also for people on a high level. A very high quality hygenic gym with competent and nice instructors.

Forza is an amazing place for anyone (and I mean anyone) looking to start or improve their jits journey! The coaches are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and patient, making it a great environment for beginners. Everyone (coloured belts and white belts alike) are eager to help each other grow. One of the standout features is the fantastic women’s-only program in Ashfield and Bankstown run by Liv (Bankstown - go/no-gi), Maab (Ashfield - no gi) and Fran (Ashfield - gi). They’ve all created a comfortable and empowering space for women to train. I guarantee you won’t leave the mats frazzled. You will feel stronger and motivated to come back and dominate. I love that Forza has installed curtains at both gyms for the girlies who want to train with women in private (looking at you my hijabi queens). It’s so incredibly inclusive. Whether you're here for self defence, fitness, or competition, this gym provides excellent instruction and a strong sense of community. Keep up the great work coaches - all of you. (A side note, whoever’s running the social media for Forza - specifically the Ashfield Forza account - is doing a brilliant job, pay them more.)

I first started going to women’s class last year in May, as a completely newbie to the sport. And today I just got my first stripe of white belt! I decided to sign up immediately after the free trial week because the environment is just so encouraging. Fran is the coach of the women-only class. She is so kind and does an outstanding job in explaining techniques, really paying attention to each student during class, and wanting to help you grow. As someone definitely prefer video games than going to those regular gyms, I seriously enjoy going to my Jiu Jitsu class every week now. Our other coaches, Daniel x2, Lance, are also amazing. If you are thinking about it and reading this review, please give it a chance and trial it out yourself!!

Never had I imagined taking up martial arts as a hobby until I participated in my first class at Forza Jiu-Jitsu. From day one I've felt welcomed with a warm presence by every person at the gym. Regardless of the level at which you're joining Forza, our coaches Fran, Lance, Danny and Doc all cater to your skill level. They take the time to ensure you are able to learn and join in. Where you need a helping hand, everyone is willing to step in and assist. I had always been someone who couldn't find an ongoing hobby. Someone who got bored, got up and found something new to do. Forza however, has got me determined to stick to Jiu-Jitsu forever. It's brought me lots of fun, friends and fitness all in one place. They offer kickboxing, gi and No-gi classes for all. If you don't know what these are, don't worry I didn't either. Come along and find out 🙂

Just want to THANK YOU ALL (Daniel, Danny & Lance) for the great experience at Forza Jiu Jitsu and my real re-introduction to BJJ. Great BJJ gym with excellent, knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated instructors. Very welcoming atmosphere with a friendly family vibe from instructors and my fellow students. Cheers! Edu.

Came for the fitness and mental challenge, stayed for the talented coaches Fran, Lance, Doc & Danny and the beautiful BJJ community Forza supports. The women's class with Fran is so much fun, and has become such an important part of my weekly routine, I always feel great after training with the girls. Fran explains techniques so well and she will take the time to ensure we have full understanding before moving on to the next one. She makes training BJJ a very personalised experience, and doesn't rush or leave anyone behind. There are gi & no-gi classes back to back so we can train a bit of everything in one evening, each class providing different techniques that complement one another. The No Gi classes with Lance are awesome, and he provides a very welcoming environment putting the time in for every student. Forza has hard working, genuine coaches and students with no big egos hanging around. Highly recommend training here!

Joining Forza Jiu Jitsu Ashfield in March 2023 has been an incredible journey for both my daughter and me. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth and a true sense of community that sets Forza apart. Coaches Lance, Doc, and Danny go beyond teaching exceptional jiu jitsu—they bring unmatched attention to detail, deep knowledge, and a heartfelt dedication to every student’s progress and well-being. Their commitment has made a lasting impact on our development both on and off the mats. The atmosphere at Forza is positive, inclusive, and highly motivating—perfect for anyone eager to learn, grow, and see real results. Whether you're new to the sport or looking to sharpen your skills, Forza Jiu Jitsu Ashfield is the ideal place to train.
