Upper Hutt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

MAD do Jiu Jitsu

Massive shoutout and ngā mihi nunui to Vaughan from UHBJJ.

Vaughan blew us away with some incredible Jiu-Jitsu session moves! It’s all about leverage, technique, and using your opponent's weight against them.

Vaughan had us leveling up our skills and testing our coordination with some epic moves, including the Americana & Kimura (classic, powerful shoulder and arm locks)

Thank you, Vaughan, for your patience, your top-tier coaching, and for teaching us how to roll with confidence. We absolutely loved it! E mihi ana ki a koe!

We’re excited to see this team continue to grow throughout the year! 🙌
