Our kids absolutely love these Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes and look forward to going every single week. The instructors are wonderful and so patient—they are fantastic with all the kids. Each week, they clearly explain and demonstrate new moves in a way that’s easy for the kids to understand. It’s such a positive and encouraging environment where they not only learn martial arts, but also valuable lessons about respect and discipline. Plus, finishing class with fun games and a lollie is always a huge hit! Highly recommend to any parents looking for a great kids' BJJ program!

Couldn't be happier with our experience here. The instructors are fantastic with the kids, very patient, encouraging, and great at breaking down the basics so everyone stays safe and motivated. It’s a wonderful, family-friendly community with top-tier coaching. AAAA+++++++

Started training here a month ago, the coaches and students immediately made me feel so welcome and comfortable since the first day I came on a free trial. They also host pizza nights every other week. Good way to bond with your teammates and as a motivation to attend class 😁

Great environment, welcoming crew. Thanks for having me while I'm visiting Auckland for work. Really grateful to get some mat time while away from home. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been training at Auckland bjj for 3 months and trialed a few other bjj gyms. If you want a gym with a tight-knit community and excellent coaching this is the one. - Friendly and approachable coaches who give tailored feedback and instruction when teaching techniques. - Great community with longstanding relationships. Lots of members that are generous with tips and tricks after a roll as they want to see you improve. - Beginner friendly with beginner classes Mondays and Tuesdays. Mixed grade classes are right after. - Variety with Muay Thai classes on Wednesdays and lunch-time bjj classes Tuesdays and Fridays. - Sometimes classes have few attendees which means more one on one coaching and attention.

Incredibly friendly and welcoming gym for first timers as well. Prof Stu taught a great gi class on octopus guard! Can't wait to be back when I'm in Auckland again.

This is a great place to learn. Here are the things I like about this martial arts school: * Spacious - there is a lot of room to roll * Safe - I have seen instructors quickly intervene if things get unsafe * Clean - Mats are always sterilised at the end of each evening * Ecumenical - Instructors teach techniques from BJJ, judo, and wrestling * Culture - there are very few cliques and higher belts are willing to help lower belts Congrats Stu and Serge for creating an excellent school!

Grateful for the opportunity to show up on Saturday with my daughter and roll for a bit. Stu was very welcoming and the rest of the team were great, as well. Stu helped me correct a couple errors and my daughter and I rolled for about an hour, so overall it was a win!

Auckland BJJ has been my home for more than five years, provided me with an excellent hobby, exercise, new relationships with my training partners, and fantastic coaching in the martial art.

Super beginner friendly with lots and LOTS to learn! These guys at AKLBJJ are highly skilled and great teachers. Everyone’s there to learn and help each other. Expect to get a great workout! This is a great way to stay active and very addictive. Training BJJ you learn great life skills and build a lot of confidence too.

This is a place where they made us feel like family not as a client. They are super supportive and understanding. My son has some difficulties for learning and took him a while to adapt, as parents we could not be happier with the support everyone provide us. When you meet Anjila Morel you will see she is the heart of the place. It is also very affordable. Communication is great, they will answer emails on the same day. Amenities are great, bathrooms and changing rooms are always clean. They sell drinks. There is a Frist Aid Kit in the facilities. They provide one free class to try. Definitely recommend this place.
