Beyond Grappling Judo & BJJ Club

Based in Monash, Canberra, Beyond Grappling Club is owned and operated by 2008 Beijing Olympian Matt D'Aquino (5th Dan Judo black belt, BJJ black belt) alongside his wife Samantha. The academy provides structured programs in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (offered in Gi and No-Gi formats) for kids, teens, and adults, combining stand-up throws with ground grappling techniques into a cohesive martial arts curriculum.

The club is known for its family-friendly, inclusive environment that emphasizes character development, technical skill, and safety over hyper-competitive aggression. Beyond its local dojo, the club is tied to a globally recognized educational platform led by D'Aquino, who produces widely followed grappling instructionals, books, and online training resources.
