COAST ACADEMY SILVERDALE - Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Kickboxing

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Coast Academy for around 7 years now and it’s been great. Coast Academy is one big family. The coaches here take time with each student to make sure they know exactly what they are doing. The atmosphere here at this gym is so great as well, everyone is so kind, caring, supportive and helpful. The people who are part of this gym are so respectful and kind and willing to help if needed. I am proud to call Coast Academy second home.

Fantastic experience: I love being a part of this academy. Matt and Jaden are passionate, professional, attentive, caring and knowledgable. They have created an awesome gym culture, and it is embodied in all the coaches I've been taught by here. It is also reflected in the members who (as far as i've seen in five months) are respectful, generous and encouraging. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, amazing coaches! everyones super helpful!! Edit: 1.5 years later this gym is the reason I have decided to stay in auckland. BJJ has been phenomenal for the mental health and physical health!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for casual no gi bjj sessions. Good facility, excellent coaches. Super helpful and friendly people to train with. Awesome vibes.

Fantastic experience: Attended Coast Academy's female only self defence course. It was extremely informative. The instructors were great at explaining/showing the techniques and I learnt a lot from the course. Would highly recommend Matt and his team! Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding women's self defence class, expert advice, highly practical sessions, safe space for women to learn. Loved it and fully recommend it to all women; sisters, mothers, aunties. These people know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: Fun vibes! Our family basically live here and the coaches and people we train with are now close friends. I personally love my kickboxing fitness class and I feel like a badss Mum! My husband and 2 boys are addicted to Jiujitsu and so I started my bjj training. We roll together as a family! It’s very encouraging to try new things and aim to excel when you have great, supportive and knowledgeable coaches!

Don't be worried about injuries, sure accidents can happen, but for the most part its safe because its always done in a controlled manner. Join Coast BJJ and see the difference in yourself :)

Fantastic experience: Coast Academy are amazing, I took my son who is neurodiverse for a one on one training session with Jaden O'Dea. I was blown away by how Jaden instantly picked up on where my son was at and then proceeded to train him at a level that suited him. Well done Coast and Jaden, so happy to have found a great Trainer and Gym, will be coming back for sure.

Fantastic experience: Best BJJ club in Auckland, hands down. Great bunch of people, great atmosphere great coaches and very welcoming. No egos. They are my family away from my family

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this club and BJJ as another tool on your wellbeing tool belt. Kia kaha!!

Fantastic experience: At the beginning my daughter was petrified. It's an absolute joy to see her convince grow after each session. She enjoys all the coaches and interacting with all the other kids.

Fantastic experience: My two little ones love here. We visited several martial art schools for kids around Silverdale and Orewa. My kids chosen Coast Academy without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Awesome classes, even 6am early bjj classes which are handy so we can do some practice before work. Recommend this club friendly atmosphere focused training. Thanks Matt , Jaden, Leo, Vitor and Omar

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the gym and all the instructors. It was a very smooth process from signing up, to my son attending training. The instructors conduct themselves in a very professional manner. I have also ordered merchandise on the CA website. Both Matt and Jaden are very responsive and I appreciate their prompt communication. The atmosphere is dissiplined and respectful and I look forward to the skills my son will obtain.

Fantastic experience: Joining CA was absolutely life changing. Training in such a positive environment is not just enjoyable, but leads to other healthier lifestyle decisions too - outside of the gym. The knowledge and wisdom that is passed on from professors, coaches and higher belts is constantly flowing. I highly recommend Coast Academy if you are thinking about making a positive move in your life. I would offer a higher star rating, but I am only able to select 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: I've been training martial arts for about 15 years, and this is one of the best gyms I've ever trained at. Small enough that you get lots of attention from the instructors, large enough that you have lots of different people to train with and learn from. Coast Academy has a great family atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and considerate in their rolling. Also the mats are very thick, on top of a wooden sprung floor, meaning they're the most forgiving mats I've trained on. This really helps for take downs and throws. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible environment - wonderful coaches who know what they're talking about. Excellent styles of teaching. When I first showed up I didn't know what to expect but from the very first day everyone was welcoming and offered nothing but encouragement to me. Coast Academy, the coaches and their students are the reason I've fallen in love with BJJ, MMA and Kickboxing - superb community.

Fantastic experience: A good crowd, who are friendly and willing to help. Lots of options for classes, including early morning, midday and afternoon/evenings. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: My Daughter (11)has been attending the academy in Wellsford ,when she can, for a few weeks, and has already been to an in house competition. What an absolutely fantastic job these guys have done. Absolutely brilliant experience. Can’t recommend highly enough. If I didn’t have commitments at the same time as the adults class ,I’d be doing it myself. Awesome sport, awesome instructors. Thanks

Fantastic experience: The best place on the coast for martial arts, kids adults fitness health!
