Submission Martial Arts is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts club at 3 Staithes Drive North, Whitby, Porirua. The Porirua academy was established in 2008, and its focus is grappling-based training, with a method for dealing with an attacker on the ground. The club says it cuts out katas, ritual drills and long warm-ups, and teaches techniques that many body types can use. Students learn to tap as the safe way to train.
The timetable lists a kids' class from 6pm to 7pm and an adult class from 7pm to 8.30pm on weekday evenings, and a BJJ gi and no-gi session from 9am to 10am on Saturday. Glen Tarrant coaches the adult classes and Kieran Upton the kids' classes, and the website names Warren, Mark and Geoff Grant among the coaches. The club says its coaches have come from freestyle and traditional backgrounds, and have trained extensively in BJJ and MMA. For a Whitby or Porirua student who wants a grappling-focused club with kids' and adult classes, Submission is the local BJJ option.
