When Lasco moved to the Gold Coast, before starting his own gym, he coached classes at our gym.

Lasco has a very good Jiu Jitsu game and, more importantly, he’s able to translate that knowledge extremely well to his students. He’s a great coach who genuinely cares about helping people improve.

I also found Lasco to be a very genuine, honest and family oriented man. We definitely miss having him around our gym.

I highly recommend anyone looking to train Jiu Jitsu to get in touch with Lasco and give his gym a go.

I’ve been attending Lasco BJJ for nearly 3 months now and I’m absolutely hooked. Mateus has created a great culture and community within Lasco BJJ. Everyone has been welcoming, supportive, and wants to see you succeed. Mateus is a very skilled, patient and supportive teacher and I’m looking forward to continuing to learn and grow at his academy. Once my kids are older I’ll definitely be signing them up too.

My son has been attending Lasco BJJ since the beginning of the year. and it has been such a positive experience. The team are incredibly patient, supportive and genuinely care about helping every child grow in both their skills and confidence.

Since starting I’ve seen a huge improvement in my son’s confidence, discipline and resilience. He absolutely loves going to class each week, and the welcoming, family friendly atmosphere makes everyone feel included.

I highly recommend Lasco BJJ to any parent looking for a fun, safe and encouraging environment for their child to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Amazing gym with top-quality instruction and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Professor Mateus is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in his students’ progress. The classes are well organised, and the team culture is fantastic. Highly recommend Lasco Jiu Jitsu to anyone wanting to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, improve fitness, or build confidence.

I first brought my son to a “Parents and me” class. I noticed the care both the senior coach and other coaches took with the Kids and I knew this wasn’t just another JiuJitsu club, but a place that was investing into the next generation. As a faith leader within the city I knew my boy was in the right place. I since joined and almost 1 year later I too train regularly and have an extended community I belong too. Highly recommend weather you’re a “young Gunn” or More matured looking to regain your fitness and mindset, this is a great choice!

We arrived at school shy and not knowing what to expect. My son had been to other jiu jitsu academies before, but it was always a big effort to get him to want to go to classes. Here it has been different, he gets ready for class 1 hour before and rides his bike to school alone, very excited. He feels comfortable ant the Lasco Scholl and is already socializing very well.
As a mother, I feel happy and relieved to know that my son is in a place that welcomes him, that helps him develop as a person and also that makes him spend less time in front of a screen playing games, of course!

Really friendly club, I didn't know any BJJ before starting and Mateus has been patient and encouraging throughout. A good mix of abilities and skills taught for adults and kids.

I started in August 2025 and Mateus has helped me grow and progress. As a parent it is handy that I can leave my kids in a dedicated room while I train, and there are classes for parents to roll with their kids.

Good group of people with a friendly vibe.

My 6yo daughter and I started here about a year ago, and we have loved every single class since day one. Mateus is absolutely incredible with the kids, his patience, encouragement, and ability to connect with them is amazing to watch. The classes were so engaging and fun that my 3yo son ended up joining too!

The coaches, the energy, and the people at this gym are truly second to none. There’s such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that makes everyone feel comfortable, regardless of experience level.

The adult classes are fantastic as well. It’s a really safe and positive environment where you can enjoy learning new skills while getting stronger and continually improving.
We genuinely look forward to coming each week and feel so grateful to have found this community. Highly recommend!
