What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Franchesca Martinez
"Have been bringing my child for about 9 months now, and we’re very grateful for the culture here! The staff is simultaneously disciplined, welcoming and relational. They provide a very well rounded environment for all students- children & adults. If you’re looking for strong leadership, a consistent environment, and a place to grow, this is the place to be. I can’t say enough good things about this gym! I recommend them to everyone."
Kathy Conos
"Coming to Ohana was one of the best decisions we ever made for my now 6-yo son. Out of all the sports he tried this is what we chose to do consistently. We've been going for 2 years now and it's amazing to see how much he has improved in physical fitness, technique, confidence, courtesy, respect and discipline. All the coaches are great with the kids, and Professor Fernando is the best! He teaches at a high level, he's great with kids, knows all their names (and it's a big class), he's firm but also teaches in a fun learning environment. We've met wonderful kids and parents. My son is in kids jiu-jitsu class and just recently started kids muay thai, he loves Coach Zumbi too! Overall just a great place, the BEST place to train, highly recommend!"
Precious Suarez
"Professor Fernando is an amazing professor. He has taught our children to not only defend themselves but has also instilled a sense of confidence in them. He takes the time to focus on each person individually and works on improving their skills.I love the atmosphere at Ohana. It feels like one big family."
Alexandra Contreras
"Ohana Gym is hands down one of the best places to train! The coaches are super supportive and really push you to improve while keeping it fun. The gym itself is always clean and well organized. It’s got such a great vibe and you can feel the community."
