Brothers Braydan, 14, and Jaymz Godde, 12, took out a gold and silver, while 13-year-old Ryden Forsyth won gold and six-year-old Saxon Haines secured bronze.
This was the first time the four talented locals had competed at the state event and are now preparing for the Pan Pacific titles in September.
For brothers Braydan and Jaymz, the desire to pursue the sport came after a chance meeting with UFC champion Ronda Rousey in Melbourne back in 2015.
The siblings mum Aoileann said the boys now aspire to represent Albury-Wodonga as the first brothers to be Pan Pacific champions.
"They met her (Rousey) and were inspired," Godde said.
"They just absolutely love it."
The young Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitors are under the guidance of Border trainer Luke Gooding at Synergy Training Centre in Albury.
