About Makina
Makina Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was founded on the idea that skill and understanding comes from bringing the body and mind into sync — a practice that elevates both your training and your everyday life.
The name Makina, meaning "machine" in many languages, reflects efficiency, precision, and connection. We focus on purposeful, efficient movement — training the body and mind to work together like parts of a well-tuned system, each playing its role in improving performance on the mats.
Our mission goes beyond physical training. At Makina Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we believe in fostering teamwork and a genuine sense of community, where every student contributes to a supportive environment that helps everyone grow together.
Meet Coach Elias
Elias, originally from Chile, moved to New Zealand in 2008, where he began his journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He earned his Black Belt under Paulo 'Sorriso' Oliveira at Alliance New Zealand. In 2021, he moved to Australia to continue learning and to share his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is committed to teaching its principles and inspiring others to embrace the lifelong benefits it offers.
Elias believes that a great BJJ school is defined by its students and the supportive community behind it. His aim is to make everyone feel like part of a family.
He enjoys traveling, visiting BJJ schools in other countries, and exchanging knowledge with fellow BJJ practitioners.
