ABOUT US
RAM BJJ was born from a simple vision — to create a place where people could grow stronger, inside and out.
Founded by Tiago Santa Ritta, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu third-degree black belt with over two decades on the mats, the academy brings authentic Brazilian roots to the heart of Taupō, New Zealand.
The name RAM symbolizes more than power — it represents resilience, grounded strength, and the drive to rise again after every fall. It’s a reflection of the mindset we build here: steady, humble, and unbreakable.
At RAM BJJ, training goes beyond technique. It’s about structure, discipline, and connection — a community where every roll, every lesson, and every challenge becomes part of your personal evolution.
