Our kids’ program is grounded in more than technique. It is built on the values of whanaungatanga (connection), manaakitanga (care and respect), and mana (inner strength). Through jiu jitsu, tamariki learn to move with confidence, think clearly under pressure, and support those around them.

We take a holistic approach to learning that recognises every child grows not just through physical skill but also through emotional, social, and mental development. On the mats, we train more than takedowns and escapes. We build discipline, resilience, and self-respect.

Classes are structured, challenging, and encouraging. Kids learn how to move their bodies, how to listen, and how to lead, all within a safe and inclusive environment. Mistakes are part of learning. Effort is always respected.

We teach real grappling, grounded in values that carry far beyond the gym.

All tamariki are welcome. Bring your focus. Bring your energy.

Welcome to the village.
