About
India's Story
India Risby is one of the most decorated active competitors in Australian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. An IBJJF World Champion, 4× IBJJF European Champion, Abu Dhabi Pro Champion, and 11× Australian Champion, India brings an elite competition pedigree to the HRJJ mat that few coaches in the country can match.
Her competition record speaks to a level of sustained excellence that goes well beyond a single title — India has proven herself across multiple formats and on multiple continents, winning at the highest level of the sport consistently over time. That competitive experience translates directly into her coaching, where every technique and concept she teaches carries the weight of being tested and proven under real tournament pressure.
India's presence at HRJJ is a significant asset for the women's programme and for any student serious about competing. She understands what it takes to build a championship game — the technical preparation, the mental approach, and the discipline required to win at IBJJF World level — and she brings all of that to her students.
