Pacheco Jiu-Jitsu Youth Academy in Narraweena offers specialised training for kids, teens, and beginner adults in a safe, inclusive, and family-friendly environment. With a focus on building confidence, discipline, and physical strength, the academy helps young students develop life skills through the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The academy is led by Wesley Pacheco, son of Pacheco Jiu-Jitsu founder Diogenes Pacheco, alongside Kyla Bolterstenj, a Northern Beaches local and qualified high school teacher. Wesley brings a lifelong dedication to Jiu-Jitsu, shaped by his roots in São Paulo and his experience as a professional competitor with titles including Gold at the IBJJF Pan Pacific and Abu Dhabi National Pro. Kyla combines her background in education with years of training and competition success to create a supportive and empowering environment for young athletes.
With strong ties to the Pacheco HQ in Warriewood, the Youth Academy continues the legacy of family values, respect, and personal growth through martial arts. Located in the heart of Narraweena, it’s a trusted space for families across the Northern Beaches to begin their Jiu-Jitsu journey with guidance from passionate and experienced instructors. It’s also a great option for those living in surrounding suburbs like Dee Why, Brookvale, Beacon Hill, Collaroy, Cromer, and Allambie Heights.
