I had the chance to train at Workshop Jiu Jitsu for two classes and an open mat, and honestly, it was a great experience.
From the moment I arrived, Amy and Pat made me feel really welcome. Everyone at the gym was friendly, helpful and there was a great atmosphere both during the classes and at open mat.
Even though I was only there for a short time, I could immediately see the community that Amy and Pat have created. There was no ego, everyone was happy to train with each other, and I felt comfortable from the beginning.
The coaching was great, the training was hard but enjoyable, and the open mat was a really good opportunity to roll and meet more of the people there.
Big thanks to Amy and Pat for making me feel so welcome. I genuinely had a great time at Workshop and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to train BJJ.
I dropped in here a couple of weeks ago on vacation. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The class was fast paced and fun, and got some good rolls in after!
A truly fantastic club with amazing athletes and a great coach who gave me a very warm welcome.
The level is very high with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this club for beginners or those looking to improve their skills in this sport.
If you're looking to start BJJ, this is the perfect place to do so. Amy & Pat are two of the kindest people you will ever meet, and they genuinely look after everyone who walks through the door.
Not only are they super welcoming, but they have some of the best Jiu Jitsu skill in the country and are equally as good at passing on those skills in an engaging, well thought out manner.
Even as a somewhat experienced grappler and coach myself, I'm always stoked to be in Wellington as I know I'll be able to drop in here and learn a lot.
Pat has taught me so much in the chats between rounds and in the rounds in general, so if you have the chance to train here regularly you will no doubt become a very capable grappler.
Highly recommend this place to anyone at any level.
Dropped in for their open mat on Waitangi day. Everyone was so nice and very welcoming. Really spacious space with clean facilities. Will definitely pay them another visit next time I’m in Wellington. Thanks Amy for being so kind!!
I dropped in while travelling, Amy, Pat and their academy were incredibly welcoming.
I dropped in on their open mat, the facilities are absolutely brilliant. Clean and well maintained. Huge mat space, really everything you could want.
It was an absolute privilege to visit and if I'm ever back in Wellington I'll be sure to visit.
Excellent gym, very warm and friendly, I dropped in for a class while traveling from San Diego and had an excellent time. The gym was extremely clean, had bathrooms and locker rooms and the instruction was very good. I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone looking to start jiu jitsu or improve their game!
Some of the most in depth and well applied classes I've ever had. Thoroughly enjoyed my few days here. Coaches and team are unbelievably welcoming and made it feel so easy to get in some extra training and rolls whilst in Wellington on holiday. Some fantastic people here! Cannot recommend enough if you're around for a few days or looking at picking BJJ.
I can't think of enough amazing things to say about Workshop Jiu Jitsu. I walked into Workshop with no prior BJJ or martial arts experience, and was made to feel extremely welcome and included r on the start. The awesome culture and atmosphere that Pat and Amy have created is second to none, and not something you will find in many other clubs around NZ. And after every session, I leave with a massive grin on my face 😁
I'm also a massive fan of the learning style and approach they take to coaching jiu jitsu. It has really helped build my understanding of what I need to do, but also allows us to hear from other people in a more collaborative approach.
If you are considering BJJ, or looking for a new club in Wellington. I highly recommend coming through to Workshop, we would love to see you on the mats 🤙🥋 ⚡
Visited Wellington for a few weeks and decided to come here because of their free classes for visitors. Pat and Amy were great and made me feel super welcome on their mats even offering me some loaner Gis as I only came with no gi gear.
The gym was clean and spacious allowing everyone to roll all at the same time. Showers and changing rooms were also available.
Classes were efficient and there was an overall friendly vibe amongst the people there. They really make you feel like you're training back at your home gym. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try out Jiu-jitsu in Wellington either as a first timer or an experienced practicioner. Will definitely be back.
