Shuriken NZ is a mixed martial arts gym at 115 Diana Drive in Wairau Valley, on the North Shore. The business says it has run for more than a decade and offers MMA, BJJ, boxing, wrestling, kids martial arts and bootcamp fitness classes. Classes are taught by instructors with professional fight experience, and they use live drills. The website lists an amateur boxing team and a corporate boxing team, plus women's only boxing classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 9.30 am. The gym has treadmills, weight machines, kettlebells, a pull-up rig, air bikes and a SkiErg, and members can use a recovery room with a sauna and ice bath. A free trial session is offered.
Members say the kids are well looked after and that the adult classes are good, and one says the place has a family feel. Others describe the trainers as top quality, with striking, grappling and strength and conditioning all under one roof. The gym is a good fit for people who want to fight, and also for those who want fitness with the same coaches.
