A Personal Note From Our Instructor

Hi, I’m John Trebilco — and I’ve been involved in martial arts for over 20 years.

I started grappling in 2001 and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2004. What began as a personal challenge turned into a lifelong pursuit, and today, I’m proud to help others begin their own BJJ journey right here in Mudgeeraba.

At Southern Cross Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we’re not a big franchise. We’re a small, family-owned club built on respect, trust, and a deep love for the art. Our team is made up of passionate instructors — many of whom came through our kids’ programs — and we’ve created a training environment that’s supportive, ego-free, and safe for all levels.
