Other martial arts, BJJ focuses more on technique and leverage rather than brute strength.
At Oliver MMA South Auckland, they offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes that cater to individuals of all ages and skill levels. The school's mission is to teach resilience, support inclusion, and help members develop problem-solving skills through the practise of martial arts. They strive to create a community that fosters confidence, physical and mental fitness, and provides a safe and simple way for individuals to defend themselves.
The school is led by Professor Steve Oliver, a 3rd-degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ricardo Librio. Prof. Oliver is a hard-working family man who comes from a legacy of world-class athletes, with his father being New Zealand heavyweightlifter, Don Oliver. He has a wealth of experience in various forms of martial arts and has trained in some of the most elite gyms worldwide.
Apart from running five branches of Oliver MMA gyms nationwide, Professor Steve also organises the largest grappling competition in New Zealand, NZ Grappler. His passion for giving back to the community led him to start Oliver MMA as a place for those who needed a home. He has developed and delivered a curriculum that has been refined for precision training.
The school is located at 15g Norman Spencer Drive, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2104. They have a convenient class schedule that includes weekdays and weekends. Their doors are open to everyone, whether it's your first time stepping onto a mat, you're a seasoned student, or you just want to have a chat.
