BJJ Academies in New Zealand.
New Zealand's BJJ scene runs through the New Zealand Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (NZBJJF) — the country's main federation, which maintains the national academy directory and runs the New Zealand ranking circuit. The Will-Machado BJJ Australasia network — directed by John Will, the first Australian BJJ black belt (Rigan Machado, 1998) — counts New Zealand affiliates among its 70+ schools across Australia and New Zealand.
Auckland is the country's BJJ center of gravity. Tu Kaha BJJ runs out of Auckland CBD with gi and no-gi BJJ alongside wrestling and judo. DS Team Jiujitsu sits in Auckland Central. Auckland BJJ is at 35 Church St, Onehunga. VR Jiu-Jitsu operates from 56a Ben Lomond Crescent in Pakuranga Heights (east Auckland). GC Team NZ runs multiple locations across Glen Innes, Hamilton, Clevedon, Pukekohe, and Whangarei Heads.
