Meet Our Instructors.
Franck Royer
Sensei
Franck is our lead instructor, and began his martial arts journey when he was 14 years old in Bordeaux, France.
He practised Mushin Ryu Ju-Jutsu until he moved to the UK where he trained in Shorinji Kan Jiu-Jitsu to his black belt with The Jiu-Jitsu Foundation.
In 2014, after moving to Sydney, Franck founded Sydney Jitsu, which has branched into UTS Jitsu in 2017. He is dedicated to student progress and consolidating the knowledge behind the technique. Franck seeks to bring awareness to this growing sport and is constantly striving to hone his art.
Franck also has experience in Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Kyoshin Ryu Ju-Justu.

Stuart moved to Sydney in 2015 and joined Sydney Jitsu soon after. He became an instructor in 2016, and is keen to help pass on his knowledge to the next generation of Jitsukas.

What others are saying about us
I started doing Jitsu because it looked like a good way of keeping fit & if at the same time I could learn how to defend myself then all the better. For the past 2 years, I have trained under Sensei Franck’s tutelage, which has been excellent. In that time I have achieved increased confidence, great friendships and I am the fittest I have been in years. Sensei Franck is an excellent Jitsu teacher who creates a welcoming environment to learn Jitsu.

It’s hard to come up with something else than positive outcomes when I think about my Jitsu experience overall. I’m baffled when I think how poor was my perception of this martial art before I started, I was thinking about some kind of a dusty and ultra traditional practice. I found a very welcoming, fun yet intense sport with just the hint of formalism to make it really serious and progressive. Put your Gi on and join us on the mats!

I joined Jitsu in the UK whilst at University for fitness and self defense. I’ve tried other martial arts but nothing was as practical and fun as Jitsu. When I moved to Australia fortunately Sydney club opened and I could continue with this amazing style. Training is practical and challenging so you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is really friendly and sociable so you will make lifelong friends and have good fun learning an amazing martial art.

UTS Jitsu is an incredible place to train with a strong tight knit relationship between students and teachers. I hope to train there more in the future
