After years of dedicated training in Brazil under Carlson Gracie Sr. and Jr., Ben was uniquely honoured to carry on the mission to establish the Carlson Gracie Team and its Academy in Australia, the only non-Brazilian to receive this distinction at the time.
He earned his brown belt from Carlson Gracie Sr. and his black belt from Carlson Gracie Jr. in 2007.
Why settle for ordinary when you can train under the extraordinary? Professor Ben Hall, a 4th degree blackbelt trained under the direct lineage of Carlson Gracie Sr. and Jr. offers the exceptional learning and training environment where you can grow both physically and mentally.
Our philosophy centers on the core principles of Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. We believe that a great martial artist should:
“ The standard of jiu jitsu in this academy is second to none. Continuing the legacy of Carlson Gracie jiu jitsu direct from the source Ben Hall is truly a master. The culture is super inclusive , friendly and chilled. Best decision I ever made walking through the doors of this academy.”

I came across Ben and the Carlson team many years ago while looking for somewhere to train closer to home, I walked in day one and instantly felt welcomed and haven't looked back since... even after moving further out the quality of the team makes the trip to the academy well worth it every session.

My 9 year old son has been going to Carlson Gracie for 3 years. It has been a great for him and the family. He has built confidence, physical skills and a sense of respect, all the while having fun. Ben, Aimee and the other instructors are great with the juniors. Highly recommend Carlson Gracie.
