Midway Jiu Jitsu is more than just a place to train—it's a space built on connection, strength, and community. Inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of “the middle way,” centered on finding balance - we work hard, show up with intensity and leave the ego at the door.
Based in Mangawhai and currently operating out of Mangawhai School, Midway is just getting started—but the vision is clear. We’re here to help you become the best version of yourself through the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Whether you’re new to the mats or a seasoned grappler, this is a place to grow, sweat, and belong.
With training offered every day, Midway is about consistency, not perfection. We’re building a culture where everyone supports each other and pushes to improve—without losing the fun, the laughs, or the love for the game.

I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for the past 7 years and currently hold a brown belt. Last year, I packed up and spent 12 months traveling the world to train — including six months in Brazil with Mica Galvão and Alliance, and another four with John Danaher and the B-Team in Texas.
Midway Jiu Jitsu is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time. I’m passionate about the sport and want to help grow it here in New Zealand. I believe Jiu Jitsu is one of the most powerful tools for building confidence, discipline, and connection — and I’m building a space where people of all levels can experience that.
I also teach Year 5 here in Mangawhai, and right now the gym is set up in the school hall — which feels like the perfect starting point for this journey
