Combat Room Jiu Jitsu

Black belt. Earned. 🖤🥋

A huge congratulations to Dani on achieving her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

This milestone means so much to our community. Dani is the first woman to train consistently at Combat Room from white belt to black belt. Along the way she’s competed, coached, mentored, and helped create a welcoming environment for more women on the mats. She’s also been an incredible training partner and someone who has earned the respect of everyone in our community.

A well deserved achievement and an inspiring example of what consistency, humility, and hard work look like. Congratulations, Dani! 👏 Photo John Meilak Turner

Blue belt for Ella! 💙
After over 10 years training at Combat Room, Ella has earned her blue belt. Her grading demonstration was outstanding, technical, fluid, and confident. She left everyone in the room genuinely impressed.
The Young family has been a huge part of our community over the years and we are very lucky to have them. Congratulations, Ella. This is just the beginning. 👏🥋 Photo by John Meilak Turner

17 years of building more than a martial arts academy, building a community.

Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we’ve created a place where people support each other, develop resilience, and grow together.

Proud of what we’ve built in Wellington, New Zealand, and grateful for every person who has been part of this journey.

The greatest achievement is not the medals or belts, it’s the positive impact we have on people’s lives.
