What Clients Say

Testimonials

Martin Dillon, Member's Father

My Son Loves SCJJA.
Rodney, My wife Melinda and I are extremely grateful to you and your team at SCJJA for your continuing influence on our son Connor’s life. You are exceptional role models for young kids to follow, and exceptional role models for all coaches of children.
Connor loves his Jiu Jitsu, and has cut back on other sports so that he can spend more time at the Dojo - he wants to continue to learn and improve his skills at this fantastic sport.
If ever there was validation of a person’s work it is just this - knowing that at least one person in this world is better off for your part in their life.
Connor is definitely better off for the part that you and your team have played on his life, and I bet that there are many more just like him whom you have helped to grow and learn.

Mitch Middy, Adult Member

I’ve been training for around 7 years and due to not being entirely content with my previous Jiu Jitsu gym and my own skills I found myself jumping between pretty much every gym the shire has to offer for a good 1.5 years in search for a new home....
From the moment I stepped in the doors of Southern Cross I was made to feel super welcome and I could just feel a relaxed positive energy whenever I entered the gym.
I can push myself with high level competitors who are on the international circuit or I can chill and focus on new techniques with Jiu Jitsu nerds like myself.
Owned and operated by one of Australia’s most legit 3rd degree black belts Rodney Ellis and listening to the music pump as everyone was training, I was sold... This was the team for me!
I will get my black belt here one day and hopefully you do too 😊
Osss!

I started my son Johnathon at Southern Cross Jiu-Jitsu when he was 6 years old, because I wanted him to learn a practical self defence without striking.
He has now been training for over 7 years and he's still loving it. In fact he loves it so much he convinced his older sister to train, and now she trains too!
The club is welcoming to all and a great way to help the kids develop self confidence and co ordination. Rodney & Nico are great with the kids; patient and firm.
Johnathon has competed in several tournaments which I believe is a great way for the kids to test themselves under pressure.
I recommend to anyone looking for a efficient self defence for their children to come on down to Southern Cross Jiu Jitsu and let them have a go.
