Good morning Auckland,
Despite the fact that its Monday, we’re are all in good spirits at the club! We’ve been running for nine weeks now and Bucklands Beach is starting to feel more and more like a second home.
The club is off to a rolling start (pun intended); we’ve got a diverse bunch of interesting members! Pilots, electricians, osteopaths, builders, students, CEOs and many more are all sharing the enjoyment of learning on the mats! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has a funny way of creating common ground where it can otherwise rarely be found.
We’re very grateful and we strive to give our students a top atmosphere and an friendly environment to train. (We are also a club that believes in pushing everyone to their limits!)
This month witnessed the first Bucklands Beach BJJ & MMA Charity Roll. After many worthy causes put their names forward, we decided to support Variety Children’s Charity.
This charity does some great work supporting underprivileged kiwi kids! I myself came from a humble background and I genuinely believe that with the right help and care, you can make incredible things happen in your life. Big thank you to Emily for helping out on the day and for raising awareness 😊 Members of our club, along with members of other local clubs, dropped by to spar for several hours. I want to personally give a special mention and congrats to Michael and Ryan, who along with myself, completed the entire 6 hours of sparring with no more than a five-minute stop!
On an unrelated note, we want to be transparent with our community, and as such, we can now state that Bucklands Beach BJJ & MMA is no longer affiliated with Sorriso BJJ. We simply had differing goals which no is fault of either party… What we must stress is that Bucklands Beach BJJ & MMA will remain good friends with Paulo, Raf and the team. We have a huge amount of respect for you and your students, and we wish you every success in the future and look forward to training with you soon!
On yet another note, Ladies of Auckland… We would like to know if you would be interested in an all Women’s Self Defence class. If interest is shown, I will personally oversee the creation of a curriculum that offers you skills which are applicable in “real-life” situations. If you are interested… Please contact us through this website by clicking here, or through Facebook by following the link. We really want to stress how this is something we are looking to do ASAP, we just want some basic approval from the community.
Incidentally, today marks the start of week ten for our club. We’re still standing (I hope!), and this momentum doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down anytime soon. To our current students, thank you, and to any prospective students, come claim your free trial by clicking here!
See, Mondays don’t have to completely suck.
