17.01.2022 The rollercoaster that is COVID

16.01.2022 Big shout out to Melbourne_Storm Wrestling Coach Johnny Donehue. If you’re looking to do Jiu Jitsu, MMA etc he’s the man to see, dattit! Head down to his gym John Donehue Jiu Jitsu and MMA today Big ups to Josh Addo Carr

16.01.2022 So proud of the Muay Thai team for always showing up and putting in the work during our zoom sessions. Another great class everyone And don’t forget- all our zoom classes are open to all members. Keep your mind sharp and body healthy by staying active, especially during these times. #johndonehuejj #mma #lockdown #keeptraining #health #fitness #melbourne #victoria

15.01.2022 Moral of the story...don’t answer back to Coach. A snippet from an article by The Courier-Mail, featuring an interview with Melbourne Storm Captain, Cameron Smith. We were looking at ways to move players onto their back, or other positions, to allow our defence more time to get set. It’s ground work every team does.’’... Smith confirmed a story that Storm wrestling coach, JiuJitsu instructor John Donehue, put former Storm player Brett O’Farrell to sleep in a sleeper’’ hold during the 2004 pre-season. Smith said it happened after a lively exchange between Donehue and O’Farrell as tensions flared during the rehearsal of a new move. John had had enough he got Brett in a sleeper hold and put him to sleep in two or three seconds. Nobody mucked around when John was trying to introduce a new technique again. Smith said it was especially beneficial for him to listen closely to tackling techniques because he was giving away a lot of size to opponents. #melbourne #storm #nrl #rugbyleague #wrestling #grappling #coach #mma #johndonehuejj #sport #training #bjj

15.01.2022 If you’re a JD member in any discipline you have the opportunity to jump into ALL MMA Zoom classes! Today’s class is at midday with Coach Chris - link in private FB group

14.01.2022 It’s funny how paths crisscross and overlap through time. In the 1990’s, Coach John Donehue was the head grappling instructor at the world renowned Inosanto Academy in Los Angeles, run by Bruce Lee’s number one student and inheritor of Lee’s original Jeet Kune Do style, Dan Inosanto. Here is a photo of Coach Donehue standing next to his student, Frank Burczynski. Burczynski’s BJJ journey started with Coach Donehue over two decades ago, and now, he is an accomplished black be...lt and head instructor of BJJ at the HILTI BJJ in Berlin, Germany. As it turns out one of Coach Donehue’s more recent students, Jae Perris (powder), who started his own BJJ journey with us at John Donehue Jiu Jitsu & MMA, just so happened to recently move to Germany, and is now being coached by our head coach’s former student, Frank Burczynski himself. #throwback #bjj #lifestyle #melbourne #mma

06.01.2022 If you think Friday comp class is hard, imagine stepping on the mat with these guys.

06.01.2022 Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but Knowledge stays -Bruce Lee Through learning a martial art like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, your child will not only learn valuable physical skills, but also gain the priceless knowledge of resilience, respect, discipline, and kindness. #kidsbjj #johndonehuejj #classes #selfdefence #mma #teamwork #confidence #proud #respect
