How many mma & martial arts are there in New Zealand?

19 are recorded in OpenStreetMap as of 2026-07-29, spread across 2 regions. That is what the open map knows, not a census — a club nobody has added yet does not appear.

Do these MMA gyms pay to be listed here?

No. Sideline takes no money from any club and has no ranking to sell. Listings are ordered alphabetically or by distance, never by payment.

Why do some entries have no phone number or website?

14 of the 19 have a website on record. The rest simply have not had one added to OpenStreetMap. A blank field here always means "not recorded", never "none" — and anyone can fix it at the source in about two minutes.

How this list was assembled

One Overpass query per region, so a club's region is known by construction and never inferred.
Anything that is ground rather than an organisation — a pitch, a court, a municipal pool — is dropped.
Records sharing a name within 250 m are merged as one venue, keeping the richer copy — 103 here.
Each club is matched to the nearest named town inside its own region, capped by settlement size, or left unassigned.
Nothing is ranked, weighted or promoted. No club can pay to move.

region  = the query it came from        (certain)
town    = nearest named place, same region, within cap
rank    = none
