Good Jiu-Jitsu. Good people. A few familiar faces to welcome you onto the mats.

Hamza

Founder & Head Coach

Hamza is the founder of Focus and an accomplished competitor, with three Australian National titles to his name. He brings that experience to helping students learn, improve and enjoy their Jiu-Jitsu.

He also takes one part of class very seriously: a perfectly synchronised clap. The club's “1, 2, clap” has become the signal to stop listening and start practising.

Stuart

No-Gi Coach

Stuart has trained in martial arts since his teens, starting with karate and kickboxing/Muay Thai in South Africa. Expect a big smile and a positive attitude, even when he is making life difficult with his pressure during rolling.

Off the mats, he enjoys rock climbing and bouldering. He is also a fridge and air-conditioning technician. A useful bloke to know, all round.

Micah

Kids Coach

Micah never expected to be a martial artist. With no sporting background growing up, she surprised herself by becoming a purple belt and kids coach. Now she is one of the club's most familiar faces, bringing a smile and plenty of encouragement to the mats.

She also makes homemade rocky road and other desserts to share with the team. Another good reason to turn up to class.

Hamza's competition background

Competition is part of his experience. Teaching is how he shares it.
