The Academy Byron Bay is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu school on the NSW north coast, led by IBJJF World Champion Thalison Soares. It teaches both gi and no-gi in separate programs, with structured fundamentals classes for newcomers, graded kids groups by age, a women's class and a weekend open mat. Competitors can step up to dedicated pro training, though competing is optional. The club reports more than 700 students, from first-timers to world-level athletes, and hosts camps and seminars with visiting champions. Visitors from interstate and overseas are welcome to train for a week or a season on two mats.
