# Alliance Jiu-Jitsu Auckland > Auckland, New Zealand ## Overview **Name:** Alliance Jiu-Jitsu Auckland **Description:** Sorriso BJJ (formerly Alliance Jiu-Jitsu Auckland) is a well-established Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 2006. With two locations in Mount Eden and St Johns, Sorriso BJJ has built a reputation as one of New Zealand's premier competition teams, earning numerous individual and team championships. The academy offers a structured belt grading system with attendance tracking and a comprehensive curriculum that progresses students according to their belt level. Training includes advanced techniques, self-defense moves, and competition preparation. Sorriso BJJ emphasizes that jiu-jitsu is a team sport where practitioners form strong bonds with training partners, pushing each other to overcome limits and achieve goals together. The academy's training philosophy focuses on emotional control, teaching students to manage stress, anxiety, fear, and anger while developing mental strength through both victories and losses. While competition is encouraged as a way to accelerate progress and develop self-discipline, it is not mandatory. The academy welcomes practitioners of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced competitors, offering programs for kids (Little Eagles and Eagle Warriors), adults (Fundamentals, Intermediate, Advanced), and specialized No-Gi classes. Students are carefully mentored by a team of highly-trained instructors who provide support and motivation for continuous improvement. **Status:** Active ## Contact Information **Address:** 213 Dominion Road, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024, New Zealand Auckland 1024, New Zealand **Phone:** 021 270 5255 **Email:** mteden@sorrisobjj.co.nz **Website:** https://sorrisobjj.co.nz **Social Media:** - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sorrisobjjclub/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sorrisobjjclub/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc7yBh2JZ7-mUmCNlmzqwVA ## Hours of Operation - Monday: 5:45 AM - 7:00 PM - Tuesday: 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Wednesday: 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Thursday: 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Friday: 5:45 AM - 7:00 PM - Saturday: 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM - Sunday: Closed ## Pricing ## Programs ### Fundamentals **Skill Level:** Beginner **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Beginner-friendly BJJ program focusing on core techniques and fundamental movements **Classes:** ### Intermediate **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Intermediate level BJJ training for practitioners building on fundamental skills **Classes:** ### Advanced **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Advanced BJJ training for experienced practitioners and competitors **Classes:** ### No-Gi **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Grappling without the gi, focusing on wrestling-based techniques similar to MMA training **Classes:** ### Little Eagles **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Fun and educational BJJ program for young children ages 4-6 **Classes:** ### Eagle Warriors **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Youth BJJ program for ages 7-12, building skills and discipline **Classes:** ### Kids Competition **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Competition-focused training for young athletes **Classes:** ### Black Belt Training **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Advanced training exclusively for black belt practitioners **Classes:** ### Women's BJJ **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** BJJ classes designed for women in a supportive environment **Classes:** ### Kids All Levels **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Mixed-level kids BJJ training **Classes:** ### Rolling All Levels **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Open sparring sessions for all skill levels **Classes:** --- **Last Updated:** March 03, 2026 **Data Source:** BJJ.Space (https://bjj.space/gyms/new-zealand/auckland/alliance-jiu-jitsu-auckland)
