Island Jiu-Jitsu

Island Jiu-Jitsu teaches Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, with a focus on real-life self-defense before sport, to keiki from age 3, teens, adults and women. Classes cover gi, no-gi and competition training, and the school also offers a women's-only gi class on Fridays and a self-defense workshop on the last Friday of each month. The academy began as a backyard club in Hawaiʻi Kai in 2010 and moved into its own dojo in Kakaʻako in 2015.

Drop-in classes are $30 for kamaʻāina and $40 for visitors, and there are no contracts, since students pay by the class, by the month or with a punch card. Classes run seven days a week, with the first starting at 6 AM and the last ending at 8 PM. The dojo is at 760 Halekauwila Street, near Biki bike stations and TheBus stops.
