More Than a Martial Arts Academy
Blanch Brothers Jiujitsu Academy was founded with one clear mission — to help people of all ages discover the life-changing benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
From building strength and confidence to developing discipline and resilience, our academy is a place where personal growth happens on and off the mats.
We believe BJJ isn’t just about self-defence — it’s a way to challenge yourself, form lasting friendships, and build a healthier, stronger version of you.
Professors
Gilgamesh Blanch
Solomon Blanch
Starting their martial arts journey at just 10 years old, the Blanch brothers quickly developed a deep passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. What began as a search for confidence and self-defense turned into a competitive pursuit that took them to the highest levels of the sport.
With multiple BJJ World Titles across both kids’ and adult divisions in Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi, and proudly representing Australia in Judo, they bring unmatched expertise to every class they teach.
Their philosophy is simple — share the knowledge, techniques, and mindset that helped them succeed so that every student, regardless of size or weight, can achieve their goals.
