About Jamie Hewko

Owner of Ares MMA

Jamie has done martial arts his whole life. As a kid, he trained Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and Capoeira. When he moved to Toronto, he heard about a Muay Thai school and fell in love - training 5 days a week for 8 years. He had a total of 11 fights.

Jamie discovered the power and technique of BJJ and fell in love a second time. He’s competed in no time limit BJJ and in throwdown events (mma stick fighting).

Jamie moved to Australia 8 years ago and started Ares MMA in July 2018. He’s taught at a number of schools back in Canada and taught at 3 different schools within his first year of arriving in Australia.

Jamie’s mission is to continue making Ares MMA the best parts of all of the martial arts academies he’s ever known.

People come to martial arts for different reasons: fitness, self defence, competition - just to name a few. Jamie wants his students to accomplish their goals in life: through hard training, you learn a lot about yourself and how far you can push yourself when you need to.

Jamie is incredibly proud of the culture at Ares. Ares is the most beginner friendly environment in Brisbane. BJJ is an incredibly high-trust sport, so community, culture, and safety are Jamie’s highest priorities.
