Reviews of Axis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu New Zealand

Fantastic environment with a great team! Always large numbers of training partners on the mat at all levels, at all locations. Recommend anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to go check it out 🤙🏽

Whilst in my experience all the BJJ Clubs I've trained at have welcomed me with open arms on my recent working Holiday to New Zealand AXIS JIU JITSU was my first experience and the club that I chose as my home, Heydan, Trevor and the team are always welcoming and willing to help both on and off the mat's. I would recommend BJJ to anyone wanting to get fit and gain confidence and would be my first choice for a Martial Art for children. The level of tuition is second to none with instructors associated with the club pulling from their vast knowledge across multiple martial arts to help their students grow in the incredibly rewarding sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I have been coming here for several months now and I couldn’t be happier with the decision to begin training. The instructors are clear and approachable making developing proper technique easy, not to mention friendly advice and encouragement from all involved. Whatever your reasons for training, be it MMA, Self-defence or just a really good full body/cardio work out, Axis BJJ is a great place. Step out of your comfort zone and gain self confidence! 5 Stars!

New to ChCh, new to Jiu Jitsu was nervous about joining up but have found these guys really freindly and welcoming. Strong emphasis on looking after one another on the mat to avoid injuries. It's a great workout like no other and learning some good skills as I go. Highly recommend.

Axis BJJ Christchurch: a Great Gym Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the most popular martial arts today, for good reason. While traditional Jiu-Jitsu has been around for ages, BJJ was popularized by the Gracie family. Royce Gracie gave impressive performances in the first two Ultimate Fighting Championship tournaments. His opponents were both bigger and stronger, but that didn't stop Royce from submitting them all and winning both tournaments. To learn, the right gym and instructors are essential. All BJJ gyms aren’t equal. Having a black belt isn’t a guarantee that anyone will automatically be a great teacher. It’s up to you to find a gym where you will consistently receive top-level instruction. and Axis BJJ Christchurch is awesome The Instructors are world class and have themselves been trained by world class instructors. They know when to be patient with us and when to push a bit. They don't play favorites during classes and treat people fairly. Axis BJJ Christchurch has a Family-Friendly Atmosphere This gym is a place where we get to relax and enjoy a great hobby. I feel totally comfortable taking my five year old to 'Open Mat' and have her on the iPad while I roll. With classes early mornings, lunchtimes, evenings and weekends anyone can find a training time that works. Axis Christchurch has True Martial Arts Instruction BJJ is a lot more than learning cool submissions. BJJ is also about self-discovery, self-discipline, and personal growth. Starting BJJ is a life-changing decision. It will keep you in excellent physical shape, it will improve your self-esteem, and it will improve your analytical skills. You will also learn values like respect, hard work and perseverance. The mental aspects of BJJ are just as important to me as the physical aspects. I could even argue that the mental benefits are even more important to me than the physical ones since these carry over to both my personal and professional life. Instructors here keep these factors real for me. Axis Christchurch is Well-Equipped and Clean ! Axis BJJ Christchurch has a strict cleaning schedule and prioritises sanitation. The mats look good, feel good and smell good. I'm not getting paid to write this. I'm simply a happy member, hoping you'll do yourself a big favour and come along for a complimentary trial class, an excellent opportunity to get a feel for yourself. Steve C.

Axis bjj is a great place to get your personal space invaded by strangers and struggle to climb out of piles of sweaty meat every day and somehow find it fun. The classes are usually 45min of techniques and lots of sparring time after, to practice what you just learned and struggle. The coaches really know their stuff and focus on one technique and build on the details over a long time and make you drill the basic movements over and over and over so the things you learn definitely stay with you, unlike other gyms who might show you a few elaborate moves each week and you forget straight away or never use it because you don't understand why it may or may not work. The members at Axis automatically rock as well because they all have to be technique focused and have the patience, modesty and perseverance to work on the fundamentals over and over. I am a slow learner and one of the weakest people there but I still enjoy training regularly because everyone is encouraging and helpful to a point where they even convinced me to compete a couple times. Even though I lost every single match, it was a good experience to train hard and go 100% at people my size for once and it gave me confidence. I think more girls should do jiu jitsu even though it is sweaty and gross. Axis now offers girls only classes as well with a kick arse female coach if you're a girl and you want to ease your way in with less sweat and stink. You'll be going to all the classes in no time. Give it a go, keep going, and going until you get over the sweat and you sweat on other people back and it becomes fun and a routine you can't live without like brushing your teeth. My inspiring kick arse coach said that bjj is a lifetime commitment so taking some time off for travel or injury is not such a big deal. So I may come and go but I will always pop in to Axis whenever I can, train jiu jitsu wherever I go and I will always come back because Axis is my jiu jitsu home, my family.

Axis jiu-jitsu is an excellent place to learn martial arts. The facilities and instructors are top notch and provide a training environment which is warm and welcoming to all. I have a trained other martial arts throughout my life and Brazilian jiu-jitsu is an incredibly effective form of self-defence which can be taught safely and effectively to any one who is willing to put in the time.Beyond self-defence, training at Axis is also a great source of stress relief and effective physical exercise. Whether, you are a day one beginner, or looking for a place to further your martial arts journey, Axis is the place for you.

After a few months of living in Christchurch with nothing to do, not knowing anyone and feeling lonely, I had previously been interested in BJJ for a long time but was still too nervous to join a gym. I finally gained the confidence to call up Axis. I talked to Trevor and set up a time to have a chat and check out the place. After waiting in anticipation, I rocked up and everything looked so professional, like straight out of the YouTube videos I had seen all the experts train in. I was in awe, I couldn’t wait to start. Going into my first class I was so nervous, but as soon as I walked in the nerves went away. Instantly I was greeted by a bunch of chill, kind, welcoming people. Every single person greeted me with a smile and either a hand-shake or fist-bump. I had never felt so welcome and accepted in my life. I could tell straight away I was going to love it here. Straight into drilling, I was learning so much so quickly, it felt great. The atmosphere was so brilliant, everyone helping each other to be the best they can be. Then we got into the sparring, something I’d never done before but really enjoyed. My partner went easy on me and showed me a few basics because it was my first time. After the 5 minutes was up, we shook hands and thanked each other for the great roll. Then I moved on to my next partner, a blue belt. I was curious to see the skill difference between belts, so I asked him not to hold back on me. Within 10 seconds I was pinned down getting choked out. I was absolutely amazed at how skilled and talented this person was and how easily he made me feel completely helpless. Weirdly, it felt awesome. I was very humbled and at the same time it gave me a hunger to get better so that one day I would have a chance at beating this person. Once again, the 5 minutes was up, we shook hands, thanked and showed our respect for each other. I have been training at Axis for a few months now and I have loved every single second of it. My fitness has increased drastically, I’ve got a new level of self-discipline and my overall happiness has improved a lot. While studying at Uni, I find myself very stressed out a lot of the time, coming to Axis and training BJJ alleviates the stress and gets me into a headspace where I am much more relaxed and focused on study. I learn so much every time I come in. Trevor and Heydan are truly amazing teachers. They teach every technique in an easy to understand way. They really care about you and your progression in the sport. The gym is such a safe and welcoming place. I really can’t stress this enough. The gym and all its facilities are immaculate. Always clean and tidy kept to the highest standard. I love this sport so much. I can’t wait to train for years to come and make my way through the belts. BJJ is such a great sport and in my opinion the best and most effective martial art. Whether you are wanting to get fit, meet some new people, become a lethal weapon or if you’ve ever had a single thought about training in BJJ I cannot stress enough how much I urge you to come and have a look at Axis. You will not regret it. A huge bonus is that you get the first week FREE!!! If you have a son or daughter that is having a hard time with a bully or is lacking discipline, Axis BJJ will give them the confidence to stand up and defend themselves. If you are feeling nervous like I was, just come in and have a look! We have people of all shapes and sizes coming in and getting right into it. No matter what your skill level is, from beginner to master, you will be will be welcomed with open arms into this awesome, badass family. I can’t wait to see you on the mats! 10/10 can’t explain how great this place is. Truly changed my life. Thanks to everyone. P.S They are some really awesome AXIS Gis for sale! :D

I have been coming to axis bjj for a couple of months and its the most enjoyable thing i have done in years i recommend to anyone and everyone. the hardest part is walking through the front doors the first time , But once you do you are greeted by friendly smiling faces that will accomodate and ease you on to the mats, you will wish you started earlier. Classes range from kids bullyproof beginners, woman's classes , open mat , experienced to competition You can do it for self defence self confidence a sport or just your all round health and fitness or just to make new friends Great group of friendly , funny and knowledgeable professors that are awesome to work with and answer any questions you have to ask. My experience so far has been incredible learning something everyday with axis brazilian jiu jitsu its a fun clean friendly environment to learn new skills. whakawhetai ki a koe axis Thank you axis 👏🤜✌️

Perfect place to have fun an learn BJJ in a safe environment. Suit for female, male, young and adults. Excellent team of coaches.

I am not a survivor keeping afloat amidst the tidal waves on top the ocean. I am a sponge at the bottom, taking the unfathomable pressure and learning from it. My mind becomes clear for there is nothing else to think about but to find a way. If I can make it out alive after training, I will have another chance to strive for greatness tomorrow. Everyday stronger and wiser than before. Eat or be eaten. Another day, another lesson for the mind, body and soul. The instructors and practitioners? Family!
