From Kids Right The Way Through To Competition Ready Students. We're Here To Teach, Help & Support You On Your Journey In a Fun, Family-Friendly, Safe & Educational Environment
At Huia Martial Arts Springfield, we offer a range of classes for both children and adults under highly qualified instructors in a safe and fun environment, with classes running from Monday to Saturday.
Our academy is located at 26 Commercial drive, Springfield and specialises in Kids Martial Arts and fitness, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Mix Martial Arts (MMA). BJJ is the number one self-defence martial art in the world. BJJ is a grappling sport and revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker skilled person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent, by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground, and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them.

A lot of people think that BJJ and MMA is exclusively for adults. Over the last few years we've seen a huge increase in kids from 2 to 15 join in the fun. Martial arts are a great way to learn discipline, get fit and make new friends!
We offer Fun and Fitness For Kids 2-4 years, 4-7 years and 7-11 and 11 to 15 years.
All classes are fun, educational and designed to improve your child's confidence and self-belief.
There are a range of different levels offered in our Adults Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programs including fundamentals, advanced, open mat and women only classes.
The fundamental classes are for absolute beginners through to intermediate students. The BJJ Fundamentals class focuses primarily on the core skills of BJJ whilst improving fitness. You will be partnered with students who are at a similar development stage.
The BJJ Advanced Adult class can only be attended by those invited. Your instructor will inform you when you are ready to progress from Fundamentals to Advanced.
MMA combines all of the skills from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, and Submission Wrestling. Usually a mixed martial arts fight is held in a cage and is the most accurate testing ground of all martial arts skills – with it’s limited rules and more realistic approach.
Our Adults Mixed Martial Arts program includes a number of classes that cater to a variety of skill levels. The Fundamental Classes offer activities that develop core skills and fitness for those at a beginner to intermediate level. The Advanced Classes are offered to those who are invited. Your instructor will invite you when you are ready.
Both of these class levels will have you partnered up with other members of a similar experience and skill level.

Meet The Team That Make Huia Martial Arts Springfield The Best In The Business
Principle & Black Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m JayJay. In 2011 I experienced my first class of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where I was challenged by someone half my size and more skilled than me.
I was very curious as to why I got beaten and that is what gave me an instant interest in learning BJJ and MMA. Week to week I was getting great results with weight loss, gaining knowledge and better discipline in all areas in my life.
I am currently an MMA amateur fighter, and a competitive black belt in BJJ. I’m a proud father of two. I have been a full time instructor since 2015.
Purple Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Shelly and I am a proud mum of two. After losing 65 kilos, I needed something to help me tone up, get fit and set a good example for my kids.
I signed up for my first MMA and BJJ lesson in 2017 and did not look back, and I then started competing in BJJ.
I received my Blue Belt in 2019 which was a huge achievement for me, and later that year I became an instructor. I received my purple belt in 2021.
Brown Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Sabbath. I started training at Huia Martial Arts Springfield in 2011, at 7 years old.
Six months later I began competing in BJJ and still compete in State, National
and International competitions as well as superfights. I started in the Junior
Leadership program when I was 11 and have been training with the adults
since July 2017. I am a passionate BJJ athlete, and train at least 6 to 7 times a
week. I have been an adult instructor since 2020, and am constantly working
to gain new skills and knowledge. I am currently a Brown Belt in BJJ.
