    Liban is an amazing teacher, coach and mentor and it has been a real privilege to be able to learn from him at Levels BJJ over the last 6 months. He has an articulate and considered way of teaching which makes even the most complex movements and techniques seem simple, and has a unique talent for organising lesions and progressions in an ordered and logical way. More importantly, however, He puts a tremendous amount of time into each of his individual students, helping everyone craft their individual game no matter where they are on their jiu jitsu progression. The club itself is full of welcoming, enthusiastic and humble people around whom it’s a pleasure to train and who take genuine pride in seeing each other improve. I can’t recommend Liban or his gym highly, for anyone at any age of stage of their martial arts journey.

    Having never trained in BJJ, it was a pleasant surprise to find that the gym culture was very accommodating to beginners and veterans alike. Liban ensures that you understand the drills being taught and encourages you to apply them in open training sessions. Highly recommend!

    Levels is the best! Liban has an absolute wealth of bjj knowledge and is a highly skilled athlete, but most importantly - he’s a fantastic teacher. It makes such a difference to train with someone with such strong communication skills and such a strong eye for his students’ progress. The community vibe is awesome too. Everyone is very welcoming and down-to-earth. Can’t recommend Levels enough!

    I have been training at Levels jiujitsu for 4 months now and I couldn't be happier. The instructor is very supportive and the community is very welcoming. I get to learn something new every session and I'm also glad that I found such a fun way to get some exercise in my evenings.

    LEVELS BJJ is a great dojo gym, definitely recommend! The lessons are well paced, structured, and beginners-friendly. Everyone has been welcoming, and encouraging - a great place to practice and improve! Coach Liban is highly-experienced, patient, and has been thorough in his instruction! Their Marrickville location is a quick walk from Sydenham station, with convenient street parking available. Class times are flexible, so perfect to fit around work! If you’re looking to get into BJJ, try out LEVELS BJJ!

    I’ve never been to a more welcoming and supportive BJJ gym until I joined Levels. Liban’s nurturing and thorough teaching methods only encourages me to do better and I would recommend anyone from being a starter to an experienced black belt to come and give it a go.

    Friendly gym and culture, great facilities, clean and comfortable. Liban is a passionate and knowledgeable instructor who genuinely cares about everyone on the mats and takes time to help them develop their individual games. I would definitely recommend Levels to anyone looking to try BJJ or anyone more experienced looking for a new gym.

  • 5/5 Marlo Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I've trained in a few gyms around Sydney, and there's no place like Levels. The culture of the school is friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. The training is second to none. Liban is an excellent instructor who structures classes that are engaging and practical. He is super attentive and will readily go out of his way to teach additional techniques and tailor according to students' styles and strengths.

    Do you want to lean how to keep you and your family safe, get really fit and meet some great people? Then look no further than LEVELS JIU JITSU CLUB! My daughter started training here nearly two years ago, and when I saw how fast she was learning and how much she enjoys the classes I gave it a go myself and I haven’t looked back. LEVELS has a great emphasis on safety and cleanliness, and has an incredibly welcoming and supportive culture. Aggressive meatheads looking to injure people? You won’t find them here – everyone at LEVELS is friendly and encouraging of both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Never having done a martial art before, this really helped me overcome the feeling of being outside my comfort zone, and I felt very quickly welcomed into the fold. Coach Liban is a fantastic teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. For kids and adults alike, his classes are well structured, and designed to help you build a solid BJJ toolkit with an emphasis on fundamental skills. He also brings his decades of experience to bear to help you tailor your training to suit your own strengths and characteristics, which means you progress quickly, and the quality of Jiu Jitsu in the room is top notch. LEVELS is close to public transport, parking, and the centre of Marrickville, and offers lunchtime, evening and Saturday classes to suit your schedule. If you’re a current practitioner looking for a new place to train, want to try BJJ for the first time, or want to get your kids started in a martial art then you should definitely come to LEVELS.

    I started training at Levels with my wife, over a year ago, as we wanted to start BJJ to strengthen our knowledge of ground fighting. We run a Judo School nearby and get along to Liban’s classes for his deep technical understanding of BJJ and his clubs great vibe and members.

    Levels is a great place to train BJJ. Liban is super knowledgeable and provides good structure and context to learning new movement. The place is also very clean with sensible etiquette and respectful training partners. Would highly recommend.

    Coach Liban is an outstanding coach with a knowledgeable and attentive eye towards the progression and development of his students. The gym culture is perfect as other students aim to bring the best out of each other, whilst looking out for the safety and care of one another. Levels BJJ is an amazing place to train!

  • 5/5 Mel N. 5 months ago on Google
    Both my partner and I train at LEVELS and love the fun and friendly culture/community. Liban is an awesome coach - he’s highly skilled and experienced, detail oriented and patient with his students. A nice perk is the Thursday females only self-defence class. The best Brazilian jiujitsu club in the inner west!

  • 5/5 Vivianne T. 1 year ago on Google
    Levels Jiu Jitusu has such a welcoming and friendly environment which initially drew me to this place. Not to mention, Liban has been nothing but an amazing teacher, he is not only kind, patient and knowledgeable, but explains the movements/techniques in a very clear, articulate and simple way, which has helped me improve so much as a beginner. I would definitely recommend joining Levels Jiu Jitsu Club!

    As a relatively new white belt, I had the opportunity to train at Levels recently. It is a great facility, well lit and clean. Liban was very welcoming and provided instruction very clearly and calmly during coaching. It was a great session.

    Great coach and great people. Everyone at the club is super friendly and welcoming. Liban is very knowledgeable and from what I've seen, puts in a great deal of effort into all his students.

  • 5/5 Brent T. 1 year ago on Google
    The moment I walked into the school, I was greeted with warm smiles and made to feel very welcome. Liban who is a 1 stripe Blackbelt is an amazing teacher. he is very technical and breaks each technique down in detail. It doesn’t matter if you are a higher belt or just beginning, he makes sure everyone understands, learns and grows together. I would highly recommend Levels to anyone. If you are not sure what school to try or not happy with the school you are at, be kind to yourself and give Levels a go, you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Lisa T. 1 year ago on Google
    Liban is a fantastic coach, with a wealth of experience and intimate knowledge of BJJ techniques and training. The classes at Levels have such a friendly and welcoming culture, particularly for any women looking to get into BJJ. The gym is very clean, membership includes gi, no-gi and women only classes as well as additional training tips and resources from Liban outside of classes. Liban communicates and demonstrates in the lessons so clearly and patiently, he ensures no one is left behind. The experienced coach, relaxed vibe and emphasis on making sure everyone feels comfortable training (especially women) really makes this place one of the best BJJ gyms in Sydney. To anyone thinking about trying BJJ for the first time or more experienced people looking for a new gym to train at, I couldn't recommend Levels any more highly.

  • 5/5 Anthony N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to train - would recommend for anyone looking to improve their technical BJJ in a friendly environment. Liban teaches solid technique that you have faith works throughout the belt colours. Liban is very attentive and puts in the extra effort to teach/research techniques that fit into the overall flow of your BJJ game - rather than teaching a generic set of moves to everyone. My BJJ has definitely improved joining as a blue belt.

  • 5/5 Anthony K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ticks all the boxes - safe, extremely clean, challenging and a team devoid of ego and committed to learning. Liban provides tailored, detailed and supportive instruction to ALL students which is unique amongst BJJ schools. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this club to all students - especially beginners.

  • 5/5 LD 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of the best BJJ club that I have attended. The quality of instruction is world class - Liban is extremely knowledgeable and is truly invested in the students development. The atmosphere is amazing - everyone is so welcoming and helpful! The facilities are extremely clean and accessible and the place in general looks great and very modern. After training here for the last 3 months, I feel committed to continue my BJJ journey under Liban’s guidance. Highly recommend Levels BJJ to anyone wanting to learn more about juijitsu or for those (like me) wanting to get back in after a long hiatus.

    Levels BJJ is such an amazing place to learn and advance your skills. It’s professional, well scheduled, and flexible to fit any timetable. There is also a class specifically for women’s jiu jitsu which is awesome! Liban is an incredible teacher and is constantly challenging us to do better! Also a really welcoming environment for any beginners who have no experience to improve at their own pace.

    Great place to learn jujitsu. Excellent teacher. Friendly environment. Clean gym.

  • 5/5 Tony H. 2 years ago on Google
    Liban is a fantastic coach and the care and attention he provides to each and every member from day 1 is obvious. I'd trained at a few of the other, larger BJJ schools in Sydney and, for a beginner, it was frustrating being lost in the crowd and rarely getting any practical feedback on where I could improve. On day 1 at Levels, Liban was already pointing out small details that made an immediate improvement to my game, and it's that level of care, along with the great culture that makes Levels a great place to train.

  • 5/5 LT 5 months ago on Google
    I was completely new to martial arts when I joined LEVELS almost 4 years ago and have been hooked ever since! Its been fantastic for my fitness, I feel physically stronger and learning these important life skills in self defence has been really interesting and empowering. The facilities are clean and welcoming, all the people who train there are super friendly and supportive, and the coaches are super knowledgable and really take an individualised approach to helping each student on their respective martial arts journey. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 shane b. 5 months ago on Google
    Levels JiuJitsu Club has built a great little community. Liban the head instructor is highly skilled and can offer personalised guidance. The facilities are top-notch, clean, and safe. If you're looking for a BJJ club that is welcoming and offers excellent training, Levels is the place to be.

  • 5/5 Blade G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to train with a supportive culture. Liban's attention to detail and passion will set you up for success on your Jiu Jitsu journey.

  • 5/5 Joshua A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing club with such a great sense of community! You never know when you join a new club what you will get but here the teaching is up there with the best I've had and everyone has a real passion for what they are doing. Would recommend checking it out 😊
