1st Annual Jora Quintet

Quintet Showdown at Auckland BJJ – March 8, 2025

On March 8th, Auckland BJJ proudly hosted a high-energy four-team Quintet competition at our Onehunga gym. The event brought together some of Auckland’s most skilled grapplers and showcased the excitement of team-based submission-only jiu-jitsu.

The Teams:

• Auckland BJJ A

• Auckland BJJ B

• ETK

• 3 Kings Judo
  
  

The rules followed a streamlined Quintet format: 5-person teams, submission-only no-gi matches (5 minutes each), with IBJJF blue belt legal submissions. Competitors squared off in order of ascending weight, with draws eliminating both grapplers and winners continuing on until one team was left standing.

Match Results:

• Match 1: Auckland BJJ B vs. ETK – ETK advances

• Match 2: Auckland BJJ A vs. 3 Kings Judo – 3 Kings advances

• Final: 3 Kings Judo vs. ETK – 3 Kings Judo wins the title
  
  

The grand final was a thrilling display of control and submission skill. 3 Kings Judo emerged victorious, earning well-deserved bragging rights for the night.

A standout performer was Zayniddin Pakirov, representing 3 Kings, who went undefeated throughout the event, anchoring his team’s path to the championship.
