What is BJJ?

It’s a ground-based grappling sport that emphasizes on joint locks and chokehold submissions. It’s not only highly effective for self-defense, but our Bully Safe classes are also ideal for children as it teaches our Tamariki how to subdue an opponent without causing harm and builds self-confidence.

When are your classes?

We offer a multitude of fun and motivating BJJ classes where everyone is welcome to train at their own pace, in a friendly environment focused on personal development and good sportsmanship.

Kids classes are:

  • Ages 5-7: Mondays & Thursdays 3:45–4:30pm
  • Ages 7+: Mondays & Thursdays 4:30–5:30pm.

Adult classes run Monday to Thursday from 6pm - 8pm.

What should I bring/wear to a trial class?

What to Bring to Your First Class?

  • Wear slip-on shoes/jandals
  • Bring a water bottle
  • Come with an open mind and be ready to have fun!

During your first week, while you’re checking out the gym and settling in, we suggest wearing shorts, a t-shirt, rashguard, or leggings. Avoid loose fabric, clothing with zippers, pockets, or belt loops as these can be hazardous for toes and fingers. O

nce you’ve settled in, you can purchase a gi, rashguard, and leggings from the team, along with your white belt. If you’re exclusively training no-gi, activewear of your choice will suffice. While it’s not mandatory to wear Axis apparel, we do offer a range of gear that you’re welcome to purchase.

Who can start BJJ? Am I too old?

The short answer is absolutely not.

People start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 60s. In fact, if you walk into almost any BJJ academy, you will find a massive community of older practitioners (often affectionately called the "Master's Division" or the "Over 40 Club") who are there for fitness, community, and mental stimulation.

Do you offer a free trial?

We sure do. We have a one-week free trial available. Sign up here

Do you have other membership options?

Yes we have a casual day pass and 10 trip options available for those who are keen on attending but not being a member. Reach out and contact us to ask about these.

Can I freeze my membership?

Yes you can! People freeze for injuries, long holidays and other reasons.

Just email us and we will freeze it for you.
It needs to be of a minimum of 3 weeks and we need a date for it to unfreeze as well.

How long are memberships?

There is no lock-in time length for memberships. You can cancel anytime with 4 weeks notice.

Are there discounts for families?

Yes we have a family discount system, the first/oldest member pays full price, the 2nd has 10% off, the 3rd 20% off and the 4th 30% off etc. When you sign up this should be automatically applied through the system.
