🏆 INTRODUCING THE NATIONAL CHAMPION PATCH 🏆

The NZBJJF and Kids Jiu-Jitsu League are proud to introduce a brand-new tradition for 2026.

For the first time ever, every National Champion crowned at the NZBJJF National Championship and the KJJL National Championship will receive an exclusive National Champion Patch.

This patch represents much more than a title.

It represents dedication.
It represents discipline.
It represents sacrifice.
It represents the journey required to become a National Champion.

Champions will be able to proudly display their patch on their gi, training bag, academy jacket, or keep it as a special reminder of one of the greatest achievements in their Jiu-Jitsu journey.

As an organization, we are committed to continually improving our events and creating traditions that add prestige, meaning, and lasting value to the experience of every athlete.

The podium lasts a moment.

The title lasts forever.

And now, so does the patch.

Who will become one of the first National Champions to earn this exclusive award?
