| Luis Henrique Regis, aka Luis "MACACO" Regis originally started training in the Brazilian martial art “Capoeira” at 14 years of age, a passion which is still growing today.
After moving to Australia Luis started training Muay Thai under Steve Fielding's gym and saw the potential Muay Thai has in Australia. Being very close to Thailand and having many Thai trainers around and a number of gyms to choose from, Luis decided to have his 1st fight after an intensive 6 month training period. Resulting in a WIN on points.
“After my first fight, everything changed, i had a feeling that i could not explain to anyone.
When people asked me what does it feel to be in the ring?
I would say, it feels like something that brings me up to the limit, it is so different of anything you can imagine & I can't really explain it. But i sure want to feel it again!”
One friday morning Luis was training and working on his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Steve fielding came and asked him if he would be interested in a Muay Thai fight with full Thai rules. Meaning full elbows, against an opponent that had 20 fights, against Luis's record of 2 fights (1w,1l). To add to the mix, the fight was scheduled for that same very night, not much notice!
Luis took the fight and won in the first round by KO, with a spinning backwards elbow. From that moment Luis decided that Muay Thai was in his future and Muay Thai became his Life!
From there Luis was typically matched with opponents with more fight experience. After a further 6 fights for 6 wins Luis was presented the opportunity to fight for his first professional State Title Fight against Charlie Bechwaty (34f,30w).
Luis won the fight with a 4th round KO, by way of a beautiful spinning heel kick. Another WIN by points against a New Zealand champion with 20+ fights behind him.
Luis’s Record stands at 12 fights – (10w-2l), 5 KO's & is the current NSW Professional Muay thai Champion.
“People think that fighting is about hiting each other and being angry. But Muay Thai is totally the other way around. Muay Thai involves technique and determination, being smart is the Best way to fight, and best way to live your Life. You can learn how to control yourself, mentally and physically. I want to inspire people to chase their dreams and work hard untill they achieve them.”
Train Muay Thai, it will make you a better person in every aspect.

Ladies, do you feel uncomfortable walking down a dark street? Do you get nervous when you’re home on your own? Perhaps you’ve had a negative experience and wish you could have protected yourself better?
It’s a sad fact of life that there are predators out there, and we have a responsibility to ourselves and our loved ones to be able to defend ourselves if we should encounter one of these people.
Prof Bruno is an experienced teacher of self defence, having taught techniques to many women, boh young and old, and law enforcement officials. He knows exactly what situations you might encounter, and he will teach you how to get out of them. He will teach you techniques to against weapons, how to get off the ground if someone has forced you to the floor. Most importantly, the techniques you will learn will be effective against opponents of any size, so you can be confident that what you will learn will work.
Prof. Bruno is available to teach to you on your own, in small private groups, or come and join our timetabled women’s self-defence classes. These classes are physical, not only will you improve your fitness, but your confidence will grow.

Yoga is one of the most popular physical activities in the world – and for very good reason. Yoga not only increases your flexibility and general physical wellbeing, but practitioners insist participation in regular yoga sessions improves your overall health.
We at Gracie Sydney believe in a holistic approach to our martial art, and we know that yoga greatly enhances our Jiu Jitsu skills through increased endurance and flexibility. We strongly recommend anyone serious about their Jiu Jitsu take yoga classes, which is why we have introduced yoga to our timetable.
Our classes are held are various times throughout the day, and you don’t need to be a Jiu Jitsu student to attend – the classes are open to everyone. Please Contact Us to find out more.

Are you time-poor and can’t make the classes? Feeling shy or intimidated and want to try it out on your own first? Do you want to learn some self defence quickly? Do you want to dramatically improve your Gracie Jiu Jitsu with intense lessons? Then private sessions are for you.
Grand Master Helio Gracie said that the fastest way to take full advantage of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques and all its intricacies and details is by taking private lessons.
Private and semi-private (with a small group of your friends) lessons from Prof. Bruno are available by appointment.
During private lessons you will learn several techniques against all types of aggressions including bare hands, club, knife and gun attacks. After only few private lessons a student will possess the knowledge and reflexes necessary to realistically improve the chances of defending him or herself in a real street fight.

Men and women, girls and boys, may quite safely take on the learning of Traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu even though they have little or no previous experience with any vigorous or martial art activity.
To book a private or semi-private lesson please Contact Us
