This website will remove all reference to the word ‘federation’ and any inference left at the end of today is purely accidental and will be rectified upon notification.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a Martial Art that has build it’s World Wide reputation on action not words. Everyone practising BJJ in New Zealand knows it’s strength lies in the ability of it’s practitioners to prevail in physical conflicts, no matter the rules.

The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts listed on this website: Douglas Santos, Paulo Oliveira, Pedro Fernandes, Geoff Grant and Steve Oliver are not lawyers, they have dedicated their lives to BJJ, they are Legitimate Black Belts in the Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

All our time, resources and money are currently being poured into finding sponsors and funding to assist the winners of New Zealand’s most prestigious Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition get to Abu Dhabi and we will not be fighting Craig de la Mare’s demands. In fact, by registering the TM he is well within his rights to make these demands of us.

Whatever we are called, the fact remains we represent New Zealand’s top schools and organisations in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Douglas Santos Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sorriso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Tu Kaha Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Gracie Barra and Will / Machado! BJJ Blue Belt Craig de la Mare, through his legal threats, has done Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in NZ a great favour by strengthening the bond between the countries largest schools and organisations.

It’s just a word. It changes nothing. We will still run the biggest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions. We will still promote Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legitimately on all media. We will still award legitimate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Ranks. We will still continue to grow this art of ours.

Any questions regarding this website can be directed to Geoff Grant

We hope you have a safe holiday and take time out to recharge your battery’s for another year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

Douglas, Paulo, Pedro, Geoff and Steve look forward to seeing you on the mats again next year.

Look out for bigger and better things from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu New Zealand in 2010!

Merry Christmas

All this became possible thanks to the personal support of his Highness the Supreme Prince and Commander In Chief of the United Arab Emirates National Army, H. H. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

100 competitors and a good several hundred spectators came to watch and compete for the first time in the NZWorld Cup level competition took place at AUT Recreation center, The competition start with the Opens divisions.

In the white/blue belt open division there was a show of technique and heart . The Pacific Islanders showed why they are called Warriors and after a war the semi-finals was defined.
Brandon Ropati and Vance Miller made a very exciting final with Brandon proving size does matter having 10kg more on Vance taking the big prize.

The most exciting division of the day was the purple,brown and black belts. Graham Wearea and Hemi Pou both Purple belts were ready for the final. Both were very strong and technical at the same time, Graham with a very dangerous arm lock from the guard passed by the black belt Murray Bellenden and with the same arm lock beat Hemi Pou to get his free ticket to Abu Dhabi , one more Maori going to The Emirates.

Since the two free tickets had been claimed the remaining competitors had the hopes to qualify for the overseas tournament, the big fights continued division by division, competitors still determined to get a place to represent NZ at the World Cup. Once again a fantastic show of talent, technique and passion from this side of the Pacific. Some of the competitors after the Opens still found the energy to fight for the weight division Brandon Ropati showed a good demonstration of this and won not only the Open division for white/blue but also his own weight division. The final results another 18th competitors very hungry to fight in Abu Dhabi and may be make the first Brazilian JiuJitsu with GI (Kimono) champion from NZ.

The final results end up like that:
