Professor
Osanil "Nil" Pontes
My name is Osanil "Nil" Pontes, and I was born in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil 🇧🇷. I am a 5th-degree Black Belt with 33 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I have joined Gracie Elite Dee Why to teach kids and adults, sharing my knowledge and the life experience I've gained through Jiu-Jitsu. I've been living in Australia for two years, and my goal is to represent and show the true Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Come train and be part of our team! 💪🥋
Our Community
More Than
a Gym
Practical Self-Defence
Most real confrontations end up on the ground. Our focus on grappling makes BJJ the smart choice for self-defence that actually works when it matters.
Train for Life — or Competition
From everyday professionals and families to champions and professional fighters. Whatever your goal, we'll help you reach it. Competition is always optional.
Kids Anti-Bullying Program
Our kids classes build confidence, discipline, and the ability to defend themselves — giving parents peace of mind and children the tools to stand tall.
Better Than the Gym
Every session builds strength, cardio, flexibility and focus. You'll get fitter while learning an incredibly valuable skill — no boring routines.
