Frequently Asked Questions



What are your Membership Types?


Do you offer different kinds of memberships, and if so, what are they?

If you’re looking at the main websites of our competitors, you’ll notice that they don’t post their prices, let alone talk about their different membership offerings.

The reason for this is simple - they want you to come in, and be guided through a pressured sales funnel where you end up signing a 2 year contract, for roughly $60 per week.

And if you don’t believe that, please go ahead and ring them.

At Southern Cross Jiu-Jitsu Academy however, we believe in transparency.

On our pricing page you can see not just the different types of memberships, but also the prices!

To keep it short and simple - we offer two types of memberships:

  1. By the class
  2. By time

Paying by the class is best suited for people who may have trained jiu-jitsu elsewhere, and want to give us a try. Or for people popping in from out of town.
We offer you the choice to purchase one class, or purchase 10 classes up front for a discount. These 10 Class Passes, as we call them, have a 12 month expiry and no refunds.

For people who live locally, and want to give jiu-jitsu a real crack, you’re much better off paying by time. By paying for classes by the week or month, then you can attend an unlimited number of classes in that period.

When paying by time, there are also two options:

  1. Pre Paid
  2. Direct Debit

With a pre-paid membership, you need to purchase your time up front.
Most people who take this option pay for one month, or three months, but we do have a couple of members who pay for 12 months all in one hit.
The advantage of this payment type is that it’s just a one off and you can take time off between periods.
The downside is that like most businesses, we do adjust our prices with inflation and so what you pay one month might be different to the next.

To guard against membership fees going up, and actually make them go down … most members at SCJJA pay via direct debit.
As per our pricing page, we offer one rate for the first 12 months, and then we drop it by roughly 20% from the 13th month! And if you never quit, then this fee will never increase!
