AMAHOF Exemplary Martial Artist
Ross Cameron is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected martial arts instructors, with more than five decades of training, teaching, coaching, and leadership across traditional martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and mixed martial arts.
Beginning his martial arts journey in Judo as a child in New Zealand under Mr. Ivan Willis, Ross developed a lifelong passion for learning, competition, and instructor development. Over the following decades, he immersed himself in multiple disciplines, building a reputation as a highly skilled martial artist and educator with a rare depth of cross-disciplinary experience.
Ross holds senior black belt rankings in Japanese Jujitsu (7th Dan), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Kempo Bushido Ryu, and Yun Jung Do. His experience spans traditional martial arts, self-defence systems, grappling, and modern combat sports, giving him a unique ability to bridge old-school martial values with contemporary coaching methods.
A long-time student and live-in disciple of Grandmaster Young Ku Yun from 1990 to 1994, Ross played an important role in the development and international growth of Yun Jung Do International. Following Grandmaster Yun’s retirement, Ross assumed leadership as Chief Instructor and Chairman of Yun Jung Do International, helping guide the organisation into its next generation while continuing to expand its educational and technical direction. Ross is also widely recognised within the Australian MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community. As the founder of Fightcross MMA & Fitness in Brisbane, he has developed one of Queensland’s respected high-performance martial arts centres, coaching athletes, instructors, and everyday students alike. Throughout his career, he has worked alongside and trained with internationally recognised figures in combat sports, including UFC champions and world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors.
Beyond competition and rank, Ross is best known for his philosophy that martial arts should be used as a vehicle for education, leadership, and personal growth. His work has focused heavily on instructor development, mentoring, youth development, and building stronger communities through martial arts. Through seminars, coaching, and organisational leadership across Australia and the Pacific region, he continues to influence a new generation of martial artists by promoting martial arts as “the art of human development.”
