My name is Teylore Browne, I’m a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and very privileged to be the owner at 5th wave.
I got started in the sport chasing a fun way to keep fit, however I quickly realized that there was a martial arts shaped hole in my life. After training extensively and extremely regularly for years, I was lucky enough to be considered proficient and knowledgeable enough to become part of the coaching staff.
As someone whose other hobbies include surfing, spearfishing and parkour, I believe pushing you body to discover the limit of what is capable is not only one of the best things you can do for your physical health but mental health too.
For those who have been exposed to the sport, I specialize in leg attacks and darce/guillotine combos which have carried me to victory in all local competition that I have participated in. Although I have never competed on the world stage, I have represented Australia at the IOC sports accord event, doing Jiu Jitsu and pankration demo’s in an attempt to bring these sports to the Olympic stage.
For those who are brand new to martial arts, I will say that I came into it look or a challenge and a way to stay fit… and I found those things. But I also found a community where everyone is trying daily to make each other and themselves just a little better, no matter the kind of life they lead off the mats!
You are never too old, too young or too unfit to start!
Hope to see you all on the mats!
