Balance Jiu-Jitsu primarily focuses on No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This means that classes are centred around training without the traditional kimono (jacket and pants), allowing for faster-paced action. No striking is involved, as the aim of Jiu-Jitsu is to control opponents on the ground. The martial art offers practical self-defence skills and helps foster confidence and new friendships.

The children's classes at Balance Jiu-Jitsu are led by Anna Wenham, the current New Zealand Purple Belt National Champion and a mother of two. Having trained for six years herself, Anna understands the importance of creating a safe environment while empowering every participant who walks through the doors of the club. All trainers at Balance Jiu-Jitsu are first aid qualified, ensuring the safety and well-being of all members.

Although grading is not the main focus at Balance Jiu-Jitsu, the club acknowledges progression in the sport through its grading days. While traditional belts are not worn during training, they are presented on these special occasions to symbolise the athletes' progress and growth in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner looking to build confidence, meet new friends, and improve your physical fitness, Balance Jiu-Jitsu in Nelson is the perfect place for you.
