With our HQ located in Auckland Central, very close to the heart of the city, DS Team BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) is a great and friendly place to learn and train BJJ.

LEARN JIU JITSU FROM A TRUE BRAZILIAN 5TH DEGREE BLACK BELT at AUCKLAND HQ.

​We are a School of Jiu-Jitsu - we are not a club or a gym. We have a system and structure in place that are very specific to teaching, guiding and helping individuals to achieve their goals such as becoming a World Champion or a better version of ourselves. Our School has world recognition for outstanding and undeniable professionalism.

Douglas Santos, also known as a respected Sensei in the jiu-jitsu level of mastery, lives and breathe Jiu-Jitsu every day, training 6 days a week and competes at a high-level, world recognised competition. Sensei has multiple Oceania titles - run up and multiple double Gold on Oceania, under his belt. He has always aimed for major achievements that bring bigger challenges and achievements to the team. Being an active competitor while nurturing and inspiring a new generation of competitors and practitioners, sensei believes the best way to teach is by leading and providing a great example to others.

Our School has a very friendly and family orientated environment. There are many father and son/daughter, couples, siblings and friends that train together on the same mat. We are all part of a chosen family here that we cherish, care and support each other towards our goals.

We have a strong competition team that won World's and Oceania titles, but our focus is not on competition. The values and principles we carry, and how we approach learning to focus more on navigating and overcoming life struggles. This has been sensei's life reflection throughout his Jiu-Jitsu pathway and career.

"Life became much easier when you can see it through Jiu-Jitsu's eyes", said Sensei Douglas Santos.

As a pioneer and the pushing force of this art form in Aotearoa, Sensei Douglas has been in New Zealand for 21 years. There are ups and downs along the pathway, difficult and complex moments that he had to overcome but he never gives up.

"When someone is trying to choke you out, you should find a way to escape, quitting has and never will be an option," said Sensei Douglas Santos. We stand for a simple rule - To Be Better 1% Everyday.

Life sometimes, and very often, pushed you around, make you feel impossible. There are days you just want to give in or give up. But when you arrive at a clean and positive environment, full of welcomeness and familiar faces, these burdens and negative emotions will be taken off. Together, training with a large group of people that aims to share the same goals, we shall shed away a bad day. Jiu-Jitsu empowers individual and brings the joy of learning back to your daily routes.

It is easy to teach someone how to fight and anyone can do or learn from one. But it is more significant and valuable to learn how to be confident but not arrogant, strong but not rude, and fearless but not disrespectful. This is something you can only gain through experience.

Come and have a Jiu-Jitsu experience with us, feel it yourself!
