Blue Belt Brad Kora started out training BJJ with his brother Fran during their down time between gigs and recording their album. Fran had been training with GSW in Wellington for a few months before showing Brad and Stu just how effective BJJ is.

Brad was immediately hooked and trained any and every chance he got. After some hard training and competition success Brad was promoted to Blue Belt by Geoff Grant of GSW Wellington. Since then Brad has been training a small group of friends and associates in his modest training area. But as all of the BJJ NZ instructors know small beginnings in BJJ quickly grow and now Brad is running out of room.
