   My son loves it at Te Maru. As a parent, I am loving seeing my usually shy son becoming more confident and enthusiastic about going to training 4 nights a week, even after more than 6 months. Big thanks to Nic and the whanau for all of the care and encouragement not only with my son, but for all of the Te Maru rangatahi. Ka nui te mihi ki a koe Nic

   Ezra has been with Te Maru Jiu-Jitsu for just over a year now, and the transformation has been incredible. His skill, focus, and confidence have grown with every class. Nick is an exceptional kaiako — calm, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. He knows his students, challenges them in all the right ways, and builds both strong technique and strong character. Te Maru isn’t just about learning jiu-jitsu — it’s about discipline, resilience, and genuine enjoyment. We couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact this kaupapa continues to have on our boy.

   My son absolutely loves Te Maru Jiu Jitsu. Keeps him active and out of trouble. We signed up to the membership instead of the term to keep his skills up. He likes his coach too which was a bonus for our whanau. I'll be signing the rest of his siblings up in 2026.

   Here's a short message: Kia ora, just wanted to say thanks for introducing my boys to BJJ! They are loving the challenge and benefits - improved fitness, mental toughness, and practical self-defense skills. I highly recommend giving it a try to anyone looking to push themselves and learn a new skill. Thanks again!"

   Evie started at Te Maru Jiu Jitsu feeling shy and unsure, but with Nic’s and the other tutor's support and encouragement, her confidence has grown hugely. She now walks in with a smile, excited to learn. The club is great and we’re so grateful for the welcoming environment that’s helped Evie thrive both on and off the mats. We’re so proud of her progress and excited to see what Jiu Jitsu holds for her future.

   Having never done martial arts or any sort of grappling or combat sports before, I was nervous turning up for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t have walked into a more welcoming place. Everybody at Te Maru has been nothing but friendly, inviting and helpful throughout the beginning of my Jiu Jitsu journey. Highly recommend Te Maru to anyone, regardless of experience level!
