GC Team NZ has become more than just a place to train, it has become a special part of our family’s life. Being able to do Jiu-Jitsu together with all three of my sons is something I am truly grateful for. It has given us time together, helped us grow closer, and taught my boys so many important lessons both on and off the mats, discipline, respect, confidence, resilience and hard work. The coaches and team at GC Team NZ create such a positive, supportive and family-friendly environment. Whether you are a beginner or competing at a high level, everyone is made to feel welcome. I am really thankful for the impact this academy has had on my sons and on me as a father. Highly recommend GC Team NZ to anyone wanting to start Jiu-Jitsu or be part of a great team.

We absolutely love training at GC Team Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! It’s more than just a gym for us, it’s become a second home. Ângelo, our son Eike, and I all train there, and what really stands out is how welcoming and supportive the environment is for the whole family. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each student’s progress, no matter their age or level. Eike especially looks forward to every class, which says a lot! The kids program is engaging, disciplined, and fun at the same time. It’s amazing to see his confidence growing both on and off the mats. For adults, the training is challenging in the best way possible, with a strong focus on technique, respect, and continuous improvement. There’s a real sense of community, everyone encourages each other and celebrates progress together. If you’re looking for a place to start or continue your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey, whether individually or as a family, I can’t recommend GC Team enough.

I started my journey at GC Team BJJ school a month ago, and it has been one of the most valuable experiences so far. The team is highly skilled, and the masters and students make you feel at home. It's been a pleasure training there! Well done, Cigano sensei! OSS

"I've been training at GC Team Professor Gleidson Cigano for four years, and I can honestly say this place is my second home. The environment is welcoming, and the people here have become like family to me. The level of instruction is top-notch, with Professor Gleidson offering both technical expertise and personal guidance. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, everyone is treated with respect and supported on their journey. It's not just a gym—it's a community where you grow not only as a jiujitsu practitioner but also as a person. Highly recommended for anyone looking to train in a positive and encouraging atmosphere!" On my own opinion the best Jiu jitsu gym in the world 🥇

For anyone looking to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu, get fit, build self defence, join a community, or train for competition, GC Team is the place to go. Professor Cigano and his team have built an amazing curriculum and environment that caters you, no matter your goal. He has built a community of like minded supportive individuals that creates a welcoming and safe environment for people of all walks of life! I waited a year before joining this gym, and all I can say is I wish I had joined sooner!!!

My daughters been coming to class now for a couple weeks and is loving it. She is gaining more confidence every lesson. The professors are very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is a very encouraging, kind and caring place. She has learnt a lot in such a short period of time.

Training Jiu Jitsu at GC Team has been one of the best choices I have ever made. The coach, Cigano has always been very supportive of me and my goals of competing at the highest level of Jiu Jitsu in New Zealand and across the world. He is always there to support and encourage me when I have fights and is always there to support the kids who have ambitions similar to mine in this sport. Cigano's passion for the sport and the growth of the kids will be hard to come by elsewhere. He helps people to not only have growth in the sport, but personal growth too. He gives the kids a fun and enjoyable time to look forwards to as well as teaching important lessons of respect and discipline. When both teaching kids and adults he brings a very positive energy to make training a very enjoyable experience. For the last 2 years, I have spent nearly everyday training with Cigano, and my growth in the sport and personal growth has changed my life. Because of Cigano, I have achieved things in this sport that I never would've thought possible. I could not recommend Cigano and GC Team any more for kids as Cigano is always willing to do what it takes to give each kid a positive experience and help them grow. For adults too, he is willing to cater and care for each person and their needs and shows limitless support for the people of the gym and giving everyone a second family.

Simply the best gym in New Zealand. Not only in structure but also in energy and teachings. Professor Cigano is an exceptional being, who teaches children respect and discipline, far beyond martial art. The gym environment is extremely familiar and pleasant. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to train or get their children to train.

Best Jiu Jitsu Academy in NZ, a second family for me and a great environment to train and relax a little! I wanted to thank Mestre Cigano for his attention, he is excellent at what he does and helps me with every training session!

Training at G.C. Jiu-Jitsu has been a transformative experience for me, largely due to the exceptional leadership of Professor Cigano. His expertise and passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are evident in every class. Professor Cigano's dedication to all his students' growth is unmatched, as he patiently guides us through techniques and encourages us to push past our limits. His approachability and genuine care for each student create a sense of camaraderie that enhances the training experience. Under his guidance, I've not only improved my skills on the mat but also gained confidence and discipline in all areas of my life. I am proud to be part of the G.C. Jiu-Jitsu family, where Professor Cigano's leadership inspires us to strive for excellence both on and off the mats.
