At the end of the seminar, a test will be administered, and a minimum score of 85% is required to earn certification.
We are also proud to announce that Life Space BJJ is currently the only academy in New Zealand officially approved and authorized by the IBJJF to host events in accordance with their standards. Our name is listed on the federation’s official website, confirming our commitment to excellence and the technical development of the sport.
