What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Goda Thomas
"As a mom, I didn't see myself starting jiu-jitsu, especially since it is traditionally more male dominated sport, but Ohana has been incredibly welcoming and supportive! They offer adults classes at the same time as kid's classes, which means my daughter and I can train at the same time. It's fun to get a great workout in and also learn some invaluable skills for self-defense for both of us. All the instructors are patient and knowledgeable and whole gym atmosphere is respectful and encouraging. If you've ever thought about, this is a great place to start!"
Jeff Modica
"No doubt one of the best decisions I have made to come and train at this incredible and extremely fun and knowledgeable academy. Been training here for around 10 years and still on the mats every chance I get. The coaches and training partners are awesome!! Lessons learned on the mat will greatly help you grow in skill level as well as in life. Can’t say enough good things about Ohana and how it has helped me over the years!"
Jason Lock
"Outstanding academy! My son, my daughter, and I have been training here for close to four years now. Excellent and friendly coaches, clean gym, and a wonderful culture. I love the fact that while I train BJJ my kids are also training BJJ at the same time; this means we all get something back as opposed to simply watching from the sidelines. But if BJJ is not for you then you will also appreciate the other friendly parents in the BJJ community."
KK T
"We are blown away by Ohana! We took our son a month ago for a trial class and now our entire family are members! We love that the parents work out at the same time as the kids and that they offer so many different classes. The instructors break down each aspect so well that even as a first time adult I am grasping the concepts! It is also incredibly affordable!"
