Bio: Black belt under Xande Ribeiro.
Luke served 13 years in the Royal Australian Navy before founding Taurus BJJ Perth. That background shapes everything about how the gym runs — discipline, standards, and looking after the people around you.
An active competitor at the black belt masters level on the international circuit, Luke’s record speaks for itself — the podium in 99% of the tournaments he’s entered over his years of competing. 3rd at ADCC Singapore. 2nd at ADCC Thailand. 3rd at the IBJJF North American Masters are his most notable achievements.
He’s Program Director of Veterans Jiu Jitsu Australia, a peer support program run through the gym for ADF personnel, veterans and first responders.
Kids. Hobbyists. Competitors. Veterans. Doesn’t matter where you’re starting from. Coaching is coaching, build people up, sharpen technique, and make the gym a place worth showing up to.
Based in Port Kennedy, WA.
