Roma Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Cannot say enough positive things about this academy. From day one I was welcomed with aloha by Kawika and his wife Jamie. There’s plenty of free parking, the academy is spacious, clean and very well maintained. The locker rooms are equipped with showers making it the perfect place to freshen up after work before training, or after training before heading out. Kawika is always pushing the boundaries when it comes to teaching and drilling techniques, but he does so in a very simple practical way that suits the beginning jiu- jitsu enthusiast as well as the avid competitor. Located right in downtown Hilo🤙🤙 Mahalo Roma Jiu-jitsu”

“Visiting Brown Belt here from Canada. If you are looking for an academy to visit or train at long term I would definitely recommend Roma. Great vibes, high level instruction, cleanliness is 💯 on point and the technique is meta. Thanks for having me guys 🙏”

“I have brought my 6 year old son for approximately 7 months now. Roma's facilities are very clean, organized and professional. Kawika and Camerie are great instructors who are awesome with the kids and make them feel safe learning. The attitude of the instructors and Jamie are positive and makes you feel comfortable and welcome. If you are interested in bringing your child or want to try it for yourself, go check them out.”

“Such an amazing and welcoming gym. World class instruction, beautiful academy. We absolutely loved visiting and training there and hearing their background story.”

“First of all Jamie and Kawika are awesome! So are the other coaches. My son and daughter absolutely love it here. The place is very clean and has a great environment. I was referred by a friend, who had only good things to say about this place and she was totally right! I would highly recommend Roma if you or your kids want to start Jiu Jitsu!”
