Kim Dean started her jiu jitsu journey in 2015. She immediately fell in love with the sport and the challenge it presented. When she started, women were few and far between and she has made it her goal to make her gym a place that women feel comfortable training in. She started a women's only class and coaching the women's team as a purple belt. In 2023 Kim became the first woman at Brazilian Top Team in Melbourne to earn their black belt. Her passion is coaching and sharing her love of jiu jitsu with everyone.

Christine Vogel is the Co-Founder/Instructor at Framework BJJ. Jiu Jitsu has been a source of inspiration for Christine since she began in 2012. Through jiu-jitsu she was able to come to grips with a personal trauma (domestic abuse) and developed meaningful connections.
Christine regards BJJ as a valuable and practical life skill. One that is different from her academic work and life as an anthropologist. She has trained alongside her husband Drew Vogel for the past thirteen years. Now teaching together as black belts sharing Framework BJJ coast to coast.
