HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS

Training at G.C. Jiu-Jitsu has been a transformative experience for me, largely due to the exceptional leadership of Professor Cigano. His expertise and passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are evident in every class. Professor Cigano's dedication to all his students' growth is unmatched, as he patiently guides us through techniques and encourages us to push past our limits. His approachability and genuine care for each student create a sense of camaraderie that enhances the training experience. Under his guidance, I've not only improved my skills on the mat but also gained confidence and discipline in all areas of my life. I am proud to be part of the G.C. Jiu-Jitsu family, where Professor Cigano's leadership inspires us to strive for excellence both on and off the mats.

Training Jiu Jitsu at GC Team has been one of the best choices I have ever made. The coach, Cigano has always been very supportive of me and my goals of competing at the highest level of Jiu Jitsu in New Zealand and across the world. He is always there to support and encourage me when I have fights and is always there to support the kids who have ambitions similar to mine in this sport. Cigano's passion for the sport and the growth of the kids will be hard to come by elsewhere. He helps people to not only have growth in the sport, but personal growth too. He gives the kids a fun and enjoyable time to look forwards to as well as teaching important lessons of respect and discipline. When both teaching kids and adults he brings a very positive energy to make training a very enjoyable experience. For the last 2 years, I have spent nearly everyday training with Cigano, and my growth in the sport and personal growth has changed my life. Because of Cigano, I have achieved things in this sport that I never would've thought possible. I could not recommend Cigano and GC Team any more for kids as Cigano is always willing to do what it takes to give each kid a positive experience and help them grow. For adults too, he is willing to cater and care for each person and their needs and shows limitless support for the people of the gym and giving everyone a second family.

I joined this gym as my partner was incredibly passionate about BJJ, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn some self defence. I can confidently say that I have gotten much more from this gym than just self defence practices - life teachings, confidence, and a supportive and encouraging community. Cigano teaches his students with lots of respect, patience and support, and I am glad that I am able to practice and learn BJJ in this safe and fun environment.
