Te Manawa Jiu Jitsu Queenstown

We teach Jiu Jitsu, submission grappling and self defense in Queenstown. Learn how to protect yourself in a safe relaxed atmosphere with male and female coaches all internationally competition tested and police vetted . We also offer kids classes, where children can learn a fun and exciting contact sport.

 We are also a Caio Terra Association affiliate, headed by, Brent, Paula & Molly Te Kawa, who have spent most of their Jiu-Jitsu years traveling the world to train, gain knowledge and compete in some of the largest Jiu Jitsu tournaments in the world. 

We teach from the 12 time world champion Caio Terra's curriculum and often bring in guest instructors from around the world for periods of time.

We offer sports jiu jitsu, self defense, women only classes and kids classes.  Check out the schedule for class times. 

We will be relocating to Industrial Fitness mid May 2025 where you as a member will have access to all of the facilities for $36 a week or JJ only at $30 a week.

We have been privileged to have 5th degree Blackbelt Professor Rodrigo Teixeira as our lead instructor for 1 year, check out his bio to see how lucky we have been to have access to his knowledge and experience.

Our 2nd lead instructor was Jess Fraser who was one of the first  Australian females that have made Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a career, she is an outstanding BJJ athlete as well as community leader. Though she is an accomplished athlete (earning her black belt in a record 6 years) she is most well known for creating and leading the internationally recognised group, Austrailian Girls in Gi. Jess has now headed back to Aussie but will come back for visits.
