New Life Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Coach Kahana has done an amazing job training my son for quite a number of years. Not only has he sparked within my son a love of learning, he has taught my kid to stay humble and respectful both on and off the mat. What more could you ask for? We are grateful for the time our kiddo got to sit under his teaching. 🙌🏽”

“Sensei Kahana and I are Family. I grew up with Kahana. We attended the same family church. Elementary and High school. After returning to Kohala in 2012 from living on the mainland and Oahu Kahana and I crossed paths and he had already opened his Jiu jitsu studio in Kohala our home town. I trained with my cousins and had such an amazing experience. So blessed to have such a loving , kind-hearted and devoted family member who devotes himself to God , Family , youth and adults in our community by teaching Jiu jitsu. My Grandsons trained with Kahana as well. Our Ohana is so proud of him. Mahalo so much my cousin! Love you beyond words and may Gods hands be upon you always. Ossss!”

“Professor Kahana is incredibly thorough and detail oriented in his teaching style. His passion for martial arts comes through in every single class. My three sons and I truly enjoy training at his dojo, where we continue to grow, learn, and challenge ourselves. The environment is very welcoming and supportive, and the instruction is exceptional. I highly recommend New Life BJJ Academy to anyone looking to develop skill, discipline, and confidence.”

“My whole family comes to new life! When I tell you it has been life changing that is not a lie. Kahana has been a blessing for my family! You want to learn or you want you kid to learn jujitsu? THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! He is so patient with the kids. And direct with the adults! 🤍 10/10”

“Kahana is an awesome instructor and mentor for kids (and I'm certain he is for adults) as well! In the short time I have known and seen Kahana at work, I have seen how he works well individually with my son, Vincent, and with the other kids in the program, and with the group at large! I can't recommend New Life Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy enough for kids in the Forney area who want to learn not only valuable self defense Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills, but valuable life skills as well!”
