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:
