Battalion Jiu-Jitsu Academy

The kids really love going to BJJ classes, great for confidence and safety.

Awesome place to train!

I’ve trained BJJ for 4 years and I trained at Battalion jiu jitsu academy while I was in New Plymouth for a week. Even though I was a stranger coming from another gym, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The coaching was top notch and I learnt a few new tips and tricks. There’s some sharp keen white belts and technical strong senior grades. A good mix of jitsukas sparing is intense but absolutely no malice or egos. This academy is one of the best I’ve trained in. I 100% recommend it and will be coming back next time I’m in New Plymouth.

Super friendly team and a great place to get some rolls in.

Brilliant BJJ classes while supporting and instilling confidence in kids

Great for my son to work on his defence

Fantastic programme and initiative, especially for the younger children & the mat monsters. Love it, keep up the excellent work! ❤️

My 4 year old attends the little kids class and is really enjoying it, half of the class focusing on coordination and games, the second half learning grabs and holds. Trying out safe physical play that many young children needThe main instructor hits the right balance between strict discipline when the children are messing around and humour/enthusiasm. Lessons are paced correctly for the age group, short and snappyThe class has a really inclusive feel with children from the next age group on hand to partner with and help the little ones.
