BJJ isn’t just a sport - it’s a path to becoming the best version of yourself, on and off the mat.

Hey, I’m Nalloy! I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 15 years. I first got into it after watching UFC and realizing BJJ was more than just a fighting style - it was a path to discipline, confidence and emotional balance. As an anxious teen, it gave me the tools I needed to grow and from my first class, I knew it was something I wanted to dedicate my life to. 

Since then, I’ve earned my black belt (first degree), competed in countless tournaments and even won gold in my first international competition here in Australia. But teaching is where I find the most purpose. 🥋

Back in Brazil, I volunteered in a project that used BJJ to help kids facing tough circumstances - some with special needs, others at risk. Through the sport, I saw them grow into confident, respectful young people. That experience shaped the way I teach today. 

I love working with kids and helping them develop discipline, confidence, and coordination. For adults, I focus on growth and resilience - on and off the mats. What makes me happiest as a coach is when a student leaves my class truly understanding what was taught, from start to finish. 

Outside of BJJ, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, playing guitar 🎸and relaxing with friends.
