What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Calvin Ling
"Great place for bjj. Justin and Darren are not just highly skilled black belts, but also wonderful teachers. The community is great and everyone is super friendly. It’s suitable for both beginners or competitors. They also have a thriving women’s program. Overall, highly recommended!"
Tamiko O
"Nothing but positive fun experiences. Both of my boys enjoy every class. My oldest has a wrestling background and being able to tap into that and learn something new keeps him intrigued. He loves the atmosphere and the great group of people. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and bring something different to the class. Their experience along with the positive competitive environment is a must. My youngest is new to jiu jitsu. His background of boxing and football has got him hooked. He’s eager to get to class early to learn something new and practice whats he’s learned the day before. I definitely recommend Kuleana to all. It’s a wonderful academy for the whole family!"

"Awesome mat space and great instruction (love both Machine and Darren). As everyone states in the reviews, truly a hidden gem in the bay area. Students are very welcoming and kind. Wide variety of belts, ages, and skill levels. Highly recommend."
Wesley Jun
"Have been training here many months now. Everyone is super welcoming and fun. Darren is a great instructor and always takes the time to not only explain the moves to you but also feel comfortable in the class. All the teammates are super nice too. Also there's always free candy."
