Syzygy BJJ

Matariki open mat 🥋✨

Another public holiday, another excuse to get on the mats together. Albany and Syzygy HQ linked up for open mat and it was exactly what you’d expect—hard rolls and good conversations

Matariki is about connection, reflection, and looking ahead. Feels fitting that we spent it exactly like that, together as one team across two gyms.

Thanks for coming through, Albany. Let’s do it again soon 💪

“This is the most fun thing I’ve done these holidays” 🥋

We invited Bitsy, Amelia, Katie and Leah in for some extra mat time over the break as a reward for an outstanding term. Consistent, hardworking, and just kept getting better week after week.

When we asked how the holidays were going, one of them said there hadn’t been much happening - and that training with us was the highlight. Honestly, that’s everything.

Watching these girls grow up on our mats has been one of the best parts of coaching. They came in young, put in the work term after term, and now they’re the ones setting the standard for everyone around them.

This is why we do what we do 💪

So proud of you all 🥋

Sweden’s getting their guy back 🇸🇪🥋

Rezan Güler came to Auckland for a few months and made our mats feel like home. High level skill, great energy, and the kind of training partner that quietly raises everyone around him.

We’re going to miss having you on the mats, brother. But we’re also slightly relieved our arms won’t hurt so much 😅

Jokes aside, it’s been a genuine pleasure. Syzygy will always have a spot for you whenever you’re back in Auckland. Don’t make us wait too long.

Safe travels, Rezan. Go show Sweden what you learned 💪

Term 2 Grading Day 🥋

Every single one of them. New belts, new chapters, and a whole lot of hard work finally recognised.

This is what showing up every week looks like. Not just learning jiu-jitsu, but building discipline, resilience, and confidence that carries way beyond these mats.

Proud of every kid in this photo. You earned it 💪

Now get back to work. Term 3 isn’t going to train itself 😤

Jumpstart was just the beginning 🥋

Welcome to Jumpstart 2.0, where the real work starts.

These guys earned their spot here by showing up, finishing the course, and deciding they weren’t done. That commitment doesn’t go unnoticed.

Two sessions. Morning and evening. Both squads ready to take their jiu-jitsu to the next level.

Energy flows where focus goes. Let’s build 💪
