New Zealand Jiu Jitsu Academy

New Zealand Jiu Jitsu Academy The New Zealand Jiu Jitsu Academy is a progressive modern style of self defence focused on Community

Jiu Jitsu is known as the 'gentle art' or the 'flexible science'. Originating in Japan from ancient Asian styles of hand-to-hand combat used by Samurai on the battlefield when disarmed, it has developed into a modern system of self-defence. The principles of Jiu Jitsu enables anyone, regardless of physique or stature, to control and release energy to it's full potential. Jiu Jitsu does not rely on

strength but upon efficient skill and technique. NZ Jiu Jitsu Academy is a progressive thinking Martial Art's organisation in this ever changing society. We have developed an evolved system of self-defence, while still recognising Jiu Jitsu's traditions and history. "Building character through Jiu Jitsu is the key to better understanding ourselves. Through developing physical, mental, and spiritual techniques, NZ Jiu Jitsu Academy aspires to help our students unlock and nourish their potential." - Sensei Shanon Casson

EMPOWER-HER 🌸💪

We trialled our first Empow-her program with great success!
It was a pleasure to deliver these sessions to such an enthusiastic group of mums and daughters. We achieved what we set out to do and that was to share Jiu Jitsu in a fun and educational setting while still developing usable self defense skills! All the laughs, confidence building, and bonding was infectious.

Do you think we need to run another one?
