There is no better way to continue learning than by stepping onto the mats with practitioners from around the world.
Recently, Sensei Bernardo, founder and head coach of Life BJJ Coffs Harbour, travelled to Japan—the birthplace of many martial arts—to train with local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA athletes. During his visit, he was warmly welcomed by the Japanese martial arts community, where he not only trained but also shared his own knowledge and experience developed over more than two decades at the highest levels of the sport.
The training sessions were a true exchange of knowledge. Local practitioners appreciated Sensei Bernardo’s technical approach, coaching methods, and international competition experience, making each session valuable for everyone involved.

One of the biggest advantages of training at Life BJJ Coffs Harbour is learning from a coach who never stops improving.
