It's hard to describe how special this school is. The team and the atmosphere make you feel home and every time I walk in I feel like I'm in a temple where I'm investing in my self-development and getting to know amazing people. As a female that had never thought of doing martial arts before, I felt welcomed and safe from my first class and simply fell in love with this art! I can't emphasize enough how good Sensei Douglas Santos is and how much he helps his students to become a better version of their selves. As he says, 1% better everyday!

Excellent school of Jiujitsu. it's a school that teaches Jiujitsu, self-defence but it also reinforces the ability to focus and be disciplined. the skills we learn with Sensei Douglas can be translated to the day to day live(work, school, home). Also my 4 years old son has started taking the kids class which they focus on respect, discipline, attitude and so on.. which are values we reinforce at home as well. I definitely recommend DS Team for adults and kids.
It's remarkable to be able to walk into a school with such an established sense of identity. Douglas and Patricia have created an environment full of people who are all trying to get better. Every higher belt will take the time to help you develop, because having better training partners enables everyone at the school to grow. I've thoroughly enjoyed the people I've met and the skills I've developed here.
I got introducet do BJJ just few years ago back in Italy and once I arrived in Auckand for the America's Cup I was looking for something good for my son. I could not get any better! The way Sensei and Patricia are running the classes are simply impressive. Kids are having fun but also learning a lot. Not only good technique but most of all a way of thinking and behaving. Thanks a lot for the warm welcome and excellent work done.
I have to add another review as it has been over 4 years since I have been training at DS Team Jiujitsu NZ. What a great place, always very clean and the people are so nice and friendly. There is a range of people from all ages and backgrounds coming together to learn from Douglas and a superb group of trainers. Such a family atmosphere, and a great way to keep in shape or find a new pastime!! highly recommended!!!!
Amazing school great teacher and camaraderie . I growth a lot since I'm there physically as well as personally. I recommend for everyone and especially for kids, I never saw children and teenagers so disciplined before. 5/5
I have trained at DS Team for 5 years and counting - what stands out is how welcoming, professional and passionate Douglas is. The school itself is clean and modern with world class level teaching and classes, as well as friendly and helpful staff and students. Highly recommend this school, once you start jiu jitsu you will become addicted!
I’m very grateful that I can train with this wonderful team. Great training programme, everyone is very helping and kind. I was quite nervous when I first started, but I felt welcomed and belonged from the first day. Highly recommended if someone wants to find a very professional BJJ gym as well as positive atmosphere.
