A force of nature. Jesse is both the last person you want deep on a single leg, and the first person you want to meet when you come in for a trial class.

Luke is a philosophy major and currently working towards a Master of Teaching; both of which compliment his love of coaching and can be noticed in the teaching of the theoretical and practical elements of Martial Arts—the ‘how’ and the ‘why’.

Matty Retallack

BJJ instructor

Having spent a large amount of his formative martial art years in Australia, Matt set off to the USA where he left the Gi behind and grinded it out on the wrestling and submission grappling mats!

A black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Jamie Murray from Renegade MMA (Australian Elite Team), a striking technician as well and an exceptional wrestler, Matty has literally had a grown man run away from him inside the MMA cage during a contest!

Despite this, a moment with Matty enders absolute strangers to feel like they have known him for a life time, and all but his opponents run toward him with open arms.
