Professor Kahana is amazing. He is very patient with beginners and makes sure each student understands the different moves. My son started as a beginner and he has shown so much improvement over the past four months. He looks forward to every practice. So happy we found this program. I can highly recommend this program for anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu.

Saying how glad we are that coach Kahana decided to open New Life is an understatement. My son struggled in school with being bullied,not finding his spot in football or soccer like other kids. With Kahana's help, my son AND daughter have gained so much confidence. They beg to go to class and are excited to share what they have learned! They gained a supportive community and a true role model and mentor in Kahana. I could not be more proud of how they have blossomed. It also gives me the piece of mind that my children will be able to defend themselves.They are gaining self-defense skills ,and self confidence along the way. Coach takes pride in his students,their well being and his mentorship. We have really found a second family on the mat 💙

New Life Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Review 🌟 I met Kahana in the late 90's and started our jiujitsu journey about the same time. He's a good dude and great friend. Kahana has a wealth of knowledge and teaching experience and supportive towards his students, and the community is awesome. You'll get great technique and overall fitness. The classes are well-structured, and the training is intense but fun. If you're looking for a great place to learn BJJ, I'd definitely recommend giving New Life a try. 👍

ATTENTION ALL FORNEY PARENTS!! New Life Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Professor Kahana and team is amazing! I have seen the effects in my kids personal growth since being here. They have made friends, gained new skills and the most important thing is they love it and can’t wait to come to class! Plus it helps tire them out after school! I would recommend it to all. Especially if you are looking for a low impact sport! Try it

I started New Life BJJ Academy back in November. I was looking for a place where I could learn BJJ from the ground up. New Life begins with the fundamentals and builds on it from there. This, in my opinion, is the best way to learn a new skill. Professor Kahana encourages knowing why you are doing something before teaching something else. This helps so that when he teaches a new skill, you can focus on that. He builds confidence in his students and is very patient. Another concern I had was injuries. Though injuries absolutely can happen, Professor Kahana creates an environment of understanding amongst students in order to try and prevent those injuries from occurring. If you are looking for an environment where learning is fun and egos are left out, this is the best place to start!
