A Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym at 127 Sunnybrae Road in Glenfield, on Auckland's North Shore. The club's approach draws on the principles of jiu-jitsu and on Māori models of health, with a holistic, lifestyle-focused view of training. The founder and head coach, Jou, is a black belt who grew up in South Auckland and found jiu-jitsu as a sport where technique counted more than size.
The club's 6-week introductory programme is built for beginners, with a foundation in the sport, fitness and a comfortable place to start. After that, one membership gives access to the instructors, training sessions and the community, and members can earn rewards as they progress. Classes include lunchtime, Monday evening and Thursday evening sessions, and there are night classes and kids programmes with other instructors. The club describes its classes as suitable for all ages and backgrounds, and it asks people to get in touch to book a time to talk through a training plan.
