Paul Chapman
BJJ Black Belt – 1st Degree – Head Instructor
Paul began his martial arts journey in England in 1995 training in Kung Fu, traditional Ju Jitsu and personal self-protection. Not long after this Paul began trying many other martial arts and finally decided that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was right for him.
Training Highlights
It was here that Paul trained under Neil Owen (Infinity Head Instructor) and Neil White at the Doncaster Judo Club (as it was known then). In 2001 Paul visited the Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to train and further his knowledge and experience.
Moving back to England Paul opened his own club – teaching BJJ and MMA and having many successful fights himself and training many successful fighters. This club still runs to this day.
In 2014 Paul decided it was time for a sea change and headed to Australia with his family, where he took a position as the Head Instructor of the Infinity Maroochydore academy.
He now teaches at our new Kawana Waters academy alongside Neil Owen. Paul is one of the most experienced BJJ black belts in the region

Matt Fordham
Purple Belt – Assistant Instructor
Matt started his Jiu Jitsu journey in 2013, training at the old Maroochydore academy under Alex Breckell which was later taken over by Black Belt Paul Chapman, Matt then moved with Paul and the Maroochydoore club to the new and larger location in Kawana Waters where it merged with Infinity Currimundi to create the current Infinity HQ.
Soon after changing gyms he tried Mixed Martial Arts for the first time and found his true passion, to better himself in martial arts.
From this newfound focus he began training ferociously in Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu, starting the never ending journey to become a formidable fighter.
He began helping out in the junior classes eventually becoming a valuable and experienced assistant instructor. After 3 years and multiple competitions as a Blue Belt he earned his purple belt in 2018. Still training and learning daily Matt is persistently honing his skills and responsibilities as a martial artist and a full time instructor; always trying to be stronger, faster and smarter than he was yesterday.
