Jiu Jitsu Classes
Are you interested in trying Jiu Jitsu?
I am Chris Crusinski, originally from Brazil. I graduated in business administration . I am a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter and have coached for 18 years at Cia Paulista Brazil Jiu Jitsu and in 2014 I graduated to Black Belt by the head coach of CPBJJ, master Eduardo Leitao 5th Degree.
I came to Australia to continue training and teaching in the soft Art of BJJ in Cia Palista Australia. Due to the fact I had conquered Gold International Medal Status in Europe, Brazil and Australia I was granted a Permanent Residence Visa and completed my 2nd Degree in my belt here in Australia in 2020.
At QOP I would like to introduce the "School Fight Project”, as its central objective : to provide students with extracurricular activity with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu nowadays considered the best in the world. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu helps with focus, displicine , teamwork, self-control and confidence whilst keeping them fit and healthy.
