I was lucky enough to walk into Arte Suave when I moved up from Sydney as a Purple Belt. I realised very quickly that the coaching is at the highest level, the cleanest gym I’ve attended and the coach’s care about your improvement using technical expertise I seldomly experienced previously. The training partners are very respectful and will push you to the levels that you want to achieve.The vibe in the gym is always positive and friendly (which you don’t get at other gyms if you’re not a white belt starting out).I’ve also have my two daughters training their now and it’s exciting for me to watch their progression knowing that someday not too far from now I’ll be getting tapped out by them.

It was a time that felt both short and long. My experience at Arte Suave was an excellent choice with no regrets! There's a reason they have a perfect 5-star rating on Google. Honestly, I love it so much that if I were to talk about everything, it would sound like an advertisement, so I won't! 🤭 However, I strongly recommend this place to anyone in Brisbane thinking of starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors at Arte are all incredibly cute, fantastic,kindly and professional. If you're considering learning BJJ, this is a decision you won't regret!

Arte Suave's fantastic gym for anyone into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, from newcomers to the advanced. The coaching is great, and I really liked the mixture of new and old teaching styles. Emanuela's kindness and welcoming attitude made me feel at home right away, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. The space is also well-maintained, and the sense of community is very strong. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking to train in Brisbane!

Arte Suave is a truly an amazing Brazilian Jiu jitsu gym for everyone from the average person looking to learn BJJ, to the competitor looking to receive high level coaching in a good gym culture.The best aspect about this is first and foremost the culture and ethics of the gym, unlike a lot of other BJJ gyms there isn't any lock in contracts, hidden (or hidden increasing) fees, pressure to buy gym specific gear, or other dodgy behavior. The culture is positive and supportive of everyone's individual goals whether that's competing or not.I have had a few personal instances where the gym owner has acted with integrity and proactively identified and addressed problems affecting my billing or other smaller issues.I would strongly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a BJJ gym whether you're new or coming from an experienced background.

I’ve been training at Arte Suave for a little over a year now and can honestly say it’s amazing. The standard of teaching is incredible, with 3 high level black belts, supported by multiple competition coloured belts and visiting coaches. I learn something new every day and enjoy the mental and physical workout I get from each class. For me though, the culture is the main draw. Emanuela has done a fantastic job of building a welcoming and inclusive community, full of people from all walks of life, coming together to share their love of jiu jitsu. I can’t recommend this place enough.
