Hawera, Taranaki

Brayden has been offered an amazing opportunity to attend the SJJIF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Nagoya, Japan in September 2024, we are now on a mission to make his dreams come true!

Brayden has ADHD and has found his regulation and sense of self in the amazing Martial Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has coined himself the ADHD Grappler and has learned to embrace his gift. He has excelled over the past few years competing throughout New Zealand, winning the New Zealand grappler circuit in No-Gi in 2023, and finishing 3rd equal in Gi. He has won national titles for his age, belt and weight division in both 2022 and 2023, and is looking forward to the opportunity to put his skills on display on the international circuit.
