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.
We believe that you should be able to try a class out to see if you like what we do. We are confident that after you give us a go that you will be back and loving it!

Meet The Team That Make Huia Martial Arts Springfield The Best In The Business
Principle & Black Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Jay Jay. My Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey started in 2011, when I was humbled by someone half my size but with far more skill. That experience sparked my passion for BJJ and MMA, and I quickly committed myself to learning and improving.
Through training, I not only gained knowledge on the mats but also improved my fitness, discipline, and outlook on life. Over the years, I’ve competed as an amateur MMA fighter and as a BJJ athlete, constantly pushing myself to grow.
I am a proud father & coach, a 1st Degree Black Belt, and have been teaching full-time since 2015. My goal as an instructor is to share the art that changed my life and to help my students build confidence, resilience, and skills that go beyond the mats.
Purple Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Shelly and I’m a proud mum of two. My martial arts journey began after losing 65 kilos. I was looking for something that would help me get stronger, stay fit, and set a positive example for my kids. That’s when I signed up for my first MMA and BJJ class in 2017, and I haven’t looked back since.
I quickly fell in love with the challenge and community, and soon began competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In 2019 I earned my Blue Belt, which was a huge achievement for me, and later that same year I stepped into the role of instructor. In 2024 I was awarded my Brown Belt, marking another milestone in my journey.
For me, BJJ is not just about training it’s about growth, resilience, and empowering others to reach their goals, just as I continue to chase mine.
Black Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Sabbath. I started training at Huia Martial Arts Springfield in 2011 when I was just seven years old. Six months later, I entered my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition, and since then I’ve continued to compete regularly at State, National, and International levels, including superfights.
In 2020, I stepped into the role of adult instructor, sharing what I’ve learned while continuing to grow as both a competitor and coach.
Now a Black Belt, I train six to seven times a week and remain dedicated to developing my skills, knowledge, and passion for BJJ. My goal is to inspire and guide others on their own journey, just as I’ve been supported throughout mine.
Purple Belt Instructor
Hi, I’m Sam. I’ve been training at Huia Martial Arts for several years and am proud to be part of the coaching team.
I mainly assist with our kids’ classes, helping younger students build confidence, discipline, and strong foundations in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
I also support the academy wherever I’m needed and love being part of the team environment on and off the mats.
As a Purple Belt, I continue to develop my own skills while sharing my knowledge and passion for BJJ with the next generation of martial artists.
