π₯ Dojo Etiquette. Jiu-Jitsu is not only about techniques, submissions, and competition.
It is also about discipline, respect, humility, and learning how to carry yourself on and off the mats.
These small habits build strong students, strong teams, and better people.
Respect the mats. Respect the art. Respect each other. Oss π₯π

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a sport, it is discipline, respect, self-defence, confidence, and a way of life.
Grateful for the knowledge, guidance, and foundation passed down through the generations. The lessons we learn on the mats stay with us for life.
Respect to Master Sid Jacintho and the Jiu-Jitsu legacy since 1994.

What a day at π₯Auckland Open 2026 with .
We had 1οΈβ£6οΈβ£ fighters π₯ step onto the comp, and as a team we came away with: π₯ 6 Gold /π₯ 13 Silver /π₯ 4 Bronze
Our team had been away from competition for almost a year and a half, but we came back and finished in the top 5 out of 44 gyms.
Some of our competitors were fighting for the first time, and some have only been training for a few terms, but they showed courage, heart, discipline, and real team spirit.
Proud of every single fighter, and the parents behind them. The medals are great, but the effort, growth, and support for each other mean even more.
Well done team. Oss π₯πͺπΌπ₯
