West Auckland is lucky to have such an experienced BJJ and MMA coach available to them. If i lived out west I'd be training here for sure.
Best in the west! my son attends this group of great coaches and hel loves it! Highly recomend!
This is a brilliant place. It is a place of learning, no matter your skill level. The culture is amazing and extremely welcoming. Gareth and Dylan are fantastic coaches with excellent directions and patience. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in Jiujitsu come along and do the trial classes. You will be hooked from the second your feet hit the mat.
Thanks to very attentive coaches, and such inclusive atmosphere, I really love coming to Westside to learn jiujitsu. As one of the few women who train here (with zero prior experience), I don’t feel any intimidation or awkwardness, because everyone here is friendly, and out to help you get better. I would recommend Westside to anybody and everybody!
My son and I have been training under Coach Gareth for 4 and a half years now. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor, Coach not only cares about our our growth on the mats but also off them. He pushes us to improve, and lives by the high standards he sets for us. He has created a warm and friendly environment for us to train in. We have lots of laughs and encourage each other to improve. Its a safe place when you need it. Whats sets our school apart from others is coach's curriculum, which he designed himself. We spend an entire month mastering techniques and sequences, this way developing confidence, and reactions through repetition and troubleshooting. Thats why the techniques actually stick. Am very proud to be part of his team and look forward to many more years learning from him.
I’ve always wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu, so I joined Westside and it’s safe to say I found the best gym. Gareth is an amazing instructor, and the more I practice, the more I enjoy it. The environment is great, and the team is super welcoming! A+++
An excellent place to learn BJJ for adults and kids. Gareth is an excellent coach, approach is methodical and evidence based. Facilities are very clean and the atmosphere is very positive.
