Sorriso BJJ Club is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy at 213 Dominion Road in Mount Eden, Auckland, with a second site on Morrin Road in St Johns. Its distinctive feature is that it teaches the full range of ages in one family, from children from age five up to adults. The academy says it has built one of the stronger competition teams in New Zealand.
Children's classes are split by age, with Little Cubs for five and six year olds, Cubs for seven and eight, and Lions for nine to twelve and thirteen to fifteen. Adult classes run at all levels, from fundamentals through to advanced, with rolling sessions, competition training and no-gi classes on the timetable. Classes run early in the morning on weekdays and through the day on Saturdays, with children's and adult sessions on Sunday.
The academy offers a free trial class to new students. The website says the structured curriculum moves students up by belt level, and that instructors are Black Belts. Parents, in particular, will find the club a place where children learn discipline and respect alongside the sport.
