Knowledge Through Practice
Whether it's your first day or your tenth year, this class is built for you. All Levels brings the whole room together, white belts through black belts, to train the core techniques of Brazilian jiu jitsu in a focused, welcoming environment.
Each class follows a clear structure: a warm-up built around jiu jitsu movement, detailed instruction on the technique of the day, drilling with a partner, and live training to put it into practice. New students work at their own pace and are paired with experienced partners who remember what day one felt like. Live sparring is always optional while you're getting started.
You don't need to be in shape, flexible, or experienced to begin. You get there by showing up. Expect a real workout, skills that actually work, and a room full of people who want to see you improve.
-
No. Most of our members walked in with no experience, and our All Levels classes are built with that in mind. You'll learn the technique step by step, drill it with a partner, and move at your own pace. More experienced students train alongside you and help you along. Everyone in the room remembers their first day.
You also don't need to get in shape first. Your fitness will build as you train. [Book a free trial class] and see for yourself.

No! There is no pressure to spar, go at your own pace that you feel comfortable with.

-
Absolutely! All visitors are welcome for drop-ins. Drop-in fee is $20 per class or $60 for the week.

We train without the gi/kimono so a rash guard or fitted t-shirt and shorts with no pockets, zippers, or buttons — board shorts work great. Remove any jewelry for your safety and others. Just bring a water bottle and you're set.
-
Like any physical activity there's some risk, but we keep it as safe as possible: every class starts with a structured warmup, techniques are drilled cooperatively before any live training, and sparring is always optional and matched by size and experience. Most of our members are everyday people training for fitness and fun, not fighters.
-
No — competing is completely optional. Many of our members train for fitness, self-defense, and the fun of problem solving, and never compete. If you ever want to test yourself, we'll support you when you're ready.
-
Like any other skill, the more you practice the better you’ll become. Consistency beats intensity — showing up regularly matters far more than going hard once in a while.
-
We have three youth brackets: Kids (5-8), Preteens (10–13), and Teens (14–17).
-
There's no contract. Memberships are month-to-month and you're welcome to cancel anytime.
-
Every class follows the same proven structure: warmup, technique instruction, partner drilling, then live rolling for those who want it. All Levels classes break everything down step by step, so beginners are never lost.

We're at 818 Kaheka St in Honolulu. There's street parking around the gym and there's usually plenty available. Just bring yourself, water, and workout clothes — we provide everything else.
