Our 6 year old son has been with Master Leo and the GFT Mandurah team for nearly two years. He is a very gentle child and not aggressive at all. Recently after school I was watching him okay and a younger kid became very pushy towards my son. I watched closely as he showed restraint and confidence against this bullying and managed to diffuse the situation without aggression. I could clearly see he used skill he had learnt at GFT Mandurah. I highly recommend this school and love to watch the enjoyment my son has every week there.

So friendly to adult beginners!
I just started my BJJ journey and was unsure how it would go, but the team have made me feel very welcome. They have an excellent Beginners Program for women like me who have never done martial arts.
I highly recommend Leo and his team to any women who want to learn self-defence and gain confidence.
