Alexandre "Ale" Tsukamoto is the owner and head coach at Kazoku Jiu-Jitsu Academy. His martial arts journey began as a teenager, and that lifelong dedication to training has shaped both his career and his outlook on life. What drew him to Jiu-Jitsu was the unique balance it demands: movement, control, and calm under pressure, both mental and physical.

Ale is an active competitor with a strong record on the mats, including double Gold at the Asian Championships, the Queensland State Championship title, and multiple local and international titles. He's also a two-time Silver Medalist at the European Championships. A Black Belt instructor and academy founder, he now channels the same discipline that built his competitive career into coaching the next generation.

He finds real purpose in helping others grow, building confidence, resilience, and strength on and off the mats. His main goal is to change people's lives through martial arts.

You'll find Ale leading both adult and kids classes.
