World class teaching mixed with a world class environment makes this sport even more addictive! Thank you Nic & Te Maru whanau!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained BJJ on and off for a few years so I have been at a few different gyms. Nicks gym is solid and it has given me a whole new perspective on Jiu-Jitsu. He focusses on the foundations and it has helped my BJJ a lot in just 3 months. He incorporates kaupapa maori too which I have never come across at another gym and it feels like a whanau vibe. I highly recommend anyone joining that wants to start or evolve their Jiu-Jitsu
