Coach With Us

Build your programme at SCJJA

We're looking for experienced coaches who want to build something of their own, with the mats, the members and the systems already in place.

How it works

It's a partnership, not a job. You build and run a part of the academy with us: a class, a programme or a time slot. You keep between 50% and 80% of the revenue it brings in, depending on your experience. We put the details in a written agreement before you start.

What you bring

  • Real experience teaching jiu-jitsu, grappling or striking
  • An idea for a programme, and the drive to build it
  • A good fit with how we train: no egos, and look after beginners
  • A current first aid certificate
  • A Working With Children Check for anything involving under-18s (required by NSW law)

What SCJJA brings

  • A full-size mat in Caringbah, with free parking at the door
  • 20 years in the Shire, and a lineage straight back to Nova Uniao in Rio
  • Our own member system for bookings, payments and direct debits
  • The website, Google Ads and marketing behind your programme
  • An existing community of members, and Rodney in your corner

Programmes we'd love to build

  • Striking: boxing, Muay Thai or karate
  • Daytime school and sports team sessions. We already get enquiries from local schools.
  • More evening no-gi classes
  • Or bring your own idea

“We build that part of the gym together.”
