We removed our 2 children from this BJJ business. Issues included significant concerns re:safety. The final straw came when an adult black belt coach & owner of this place subjected 1 of our kids to unconscionable behaviour. Reprehensible.
Re: below Response From Owner :-
Your response is predictable - no ownership of your behaviour.
Your unconscionable behaviour towards our kid most definitely was not conduicive to a positive outcome. You should take a look at the attributes that differentiate a good coach from a bad coach.

I trained here with Chris and Darren and the crew. They were welcoming, family orientated and respectful martial artists in every way. I have no hesitation recommending the team and the facility to anyone aspiring to improve themselves through Jiu Jitsu.

I was in Darwin for a few days of meetings, and didn't want to miss any training. Professor Chris and the team at De Been Darwin welcomed me like a local. They train hard, don't take themselves too seriously, and generously shared their knowledge. If I lived in Darwin, I'd train here. Went four times in four days. Would have kept going, but had to fly home! Couldn't recommend this place enough. Thanks again. Oss.

In town for the week and was able to get along for a few sessions at the club. Chris, Darren, Luke and the team were really welcoming and made me feel at home. Had lots of fun rolling with some very experienced BJJ enthusiasts. Great facilities with a large mat space and even air conditioning to take the edge off the Darwin heat and humidity. Highly recommend De Been JJ to anyone experienced or new to martial arts! Thanks for having me!

De Been JJ Darwin - large mat space and air conditioning for Darwin’s notoriously hot weather. DBJJ was accomodating and welcoming - a very relaxed culture and environment on entry quickly turned in to organised, intense and regimented drilling. Chris’s squad are a wide range of experience but all took to the mat with great familiarity with each drill - he has some killers on the mat! Having been out of Jits for 7 months because of Victorian lockdown - I was very privileged to be allowed to train today and was treated with respect, openness and kindness. I highly recommend De Been Darwin to anyone looking to train in the future. Oss

I started attending classes in 2016 at the age of 46.  It was very daunting just walking into the facility for the first time but the instructors and other participants were very supportive and welcoming.

The classes were well structured with a variety of skilled instructors.  who broke down moves into clear steps, and gave us ample opportunity to practice with people at all skill levels.  The instructors spent time with every participant and gave great feedback on how to make  improvements.

I wish I was still able to do these classes.  If you are interested in giving Jiujitsu a go - or you a looking for somewhere new to train - get on down to De Been at Vanderlin Drive.  They are a great crew.
