Justin Relph, ATOS Black Belt under Tim Blanchard, Alavanca BJJ
Justin received his Black Belt in 2023, 13 years after starting BJJ in Victoria at the age of 34. Having started his BJJ journey later in life, he has always prioritized efficiency, leverage and skill over physical attributes.
He is a multi sport NCCP (CAC) level 2 coach with 30+ years experience teaching and coaching kids across a number of sports including Freeride Skiing, Rugby and BJJ. Justin has some competitive success regionally but his focus has been developing as a coach for others rather than being an athlete.
He is passionate about sharing the art and sport of Jiu Jitsu, coaching, developing people and the science of skill acquisition.
