ABOUT RISEN
BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE.
CREATED WITH PURPOSE.
RISEN Jiu Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in Miranda, Sutherland Shire, built on more than two decades of experience and a belief in what Jiu Jitsu can bring to people's lives — on and off the mats.
THE RISEN STORY
JIU JITSU HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE THAN TRAINING.
Jorge Maffei began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2005, at 11 years old. What started as a connection to a family passion quickly became a permanent part of his life.
More than two decades later, after years of competing, teaching and growing through Jiu Jitsu, his view of the art remains the same: it is about much more than learning how to fight. It is about consistency, character, friendship and the lessons we carry with us beyond the mats.
Throughout that journey, Jorge earned his black belt under Professor Raphael Abi-Rihan and further developed his approach to teaching by completing a Certificate IV and Diploma in Sport Coaching in Sydney.
RISEN was created from that belief. The name reflects the idea of getting back up, moving forward and continuing to grow — something Jiu Jitsu has represented throughout Jorge's own life. It is a place to share those lessons and help others discover what Jiu Jitsu can bring to theirs.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE VALUES BEHIND RISEN.
PROGRESS
Consistent training, strong fundamentals and continuous improvement. We help every student develop their Jiu Jitsu at their own pace.
CHARACTER
How you train, how you treat your teammates and how you carry yourself matter. Respect, consistency and attitude are part of the journey.
COMMUNITY
RISEN is a place to belong — where people train together, build friendships and genuinely enjoy being part of the team.
OUR APPROACH
GOOD JIU JITSU STARTS WITH GOOD TEACHING.
At RISEN, every class is built around clear instruction, strong fundamentals and a structured approach to learning. Students should understand not only what they are doing, but why it works.
Everyone learns differently and progresses at a different pace. Our role is to give each student the guidance and environment they need to keep improving — from their first class to years into their Jiu Jitsu journey.
