Grounded Mat Sports

Grounded is a great place to train!

The facility is fantastic, there are no gym politics, everyone is friendly, and the instruction is great.

Caleb is very passionate about what he does and is very friendly to all comers. Whether you are brand new or have been training for years, this gym will undoubtedly be a great experience for you.

Cheers Caleb.

I was just passing through Cairns and was made very welcome in this club. Caleb and all the members are incredible. There's a really good atmosphere and a good level. I felt right at home. If you want to do Bjj in Cairns don't hesitate, trust this club!
Thank you for the welcome and the experience.

Perfect gym!
I was there on vacation. Everyone welcomed me with open arms. Had a great time and learned a lot.

Great team and awesome professor

Had such a great time dropping in during my visit to Cairns! Prof Caleb was so welcoming and learnt some new techniques! Felt very welcomed as a solo female in the area!

Awesome gym. Was travelling from out of town, went to Saturday mma and open mat. Caleb was so welcoming, all the members were welcoming and encouraging. Will 100% come back next time I’m in Cairns!

Absolutely brilliant gym! Highly recommend. Coach and owner Caleb is super professional and personable. The gym is clean, friendly and doesn't lock you into a contract, because the level of coaching speaks for itself. Your not just a number at Grounded. If your beginner, intermediate or advanced at BJJ or MMA your always welcome at Grounded Mat Sports, Cairns.

I wanted to get some training while on holiday and Caleb made me feel like I was training at my home club. Invited me in with open arms and provided me with a gi and even gave me a lift back to my hotel. This newly established gym has a great teaching philosophy which can cater to athletes all the way to parents and children. I'll be back! Thanks Caleb!

Due to work I’ve had the opportunity to train all over Australia and can honestly say Grounded Mat Sports is an excellent gym. Everybody is very welcoming and the gym culture is professional and inclusive. Caleb the head instructor is an amazing teacher who is able to challenge novices and experienced participants equally.

Got the chance to drope by while traveling and really enjoyed the class. The details of the technics and the vibe are great! Very good environnement to learn and grow as a bjj practicioner.

Great place for an education or a free roll.
Have been to both the classes and the free rolls and they are both awesome.
Caleb is a wealth of knowledge & he has fostered a place where high level guys go for tough rolls.
Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Never a time when a technique goes unexplained.

A great place to learn Jiu Jitsu from scratch or develop your game!

Came up to Grounded while in Cairns for work and I've honestly never been to such a welcoming and cool gym. Caleb is super skilled and intelligent, will definitely be coming back whenever I get the opportunity

I dropped in for a session whilst on holidays, the session was elite, the gym set up was elite and Caleb was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. If I visit Cairns again I'll be sure to train here again. 100% reccomend this gym to anyone who wishes to learn BJJ

Nice clean facilities, good coach, good training partners and atmosphere, realistic principles and bjj ideology to build from

Caleb was a very dedicated student and I'm sure he will be doing a great job passing on the knowledge and skills.

Perfect place to start your journey with Brazilian Jiujitsu in gi or no-gi formula. If you are more advanced grappler you can find here plenty tough and experienced guys. Backpackers are very very welcome! Thank you guys for amazing rounds!

First time trying BJJ and I felt very welcome here. Caleb and Sam are excellent and patient coaches, taking time to show me the ropes while still encouraging me to push my limits. Definitely a good workout! I didn't know anyone going into it but everyone was super friendly and quickly made me feel at home. Can't recommend enough, if you're thinking about it, go for it!

Dropped in when i visiting, Coach Caleb and the team have manifested a great culture and a great philosophy.loved training here, highly recommended for everyone from trained competitors to kids just starting out.looking forward to the next visit!

Grounded is a brilliant place to train. The gym is super clean and has an awesome vibe. Caleb provides top quality instruction. I’ve trained at a lot of places and can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Great gym, with clean mats, friendly training partners and an experienced coach that priorities good conditioning; less chance of injury.
