Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art which focuses on using leverage and technique to control an attacker. In other words, a smaller, weaker person can use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to defend themselves against a larger, stronger assailant.
The system was developed in Brazil over the course of the past century, and has it’s roots in traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be trained for self defense, sport style tournaments, and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

The best way to decide if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for you is to come to the academy and watch a class. Everyone is welcome!
In Hawaiian mythology an aumakua is a family god. Traditionally it is an animal that represents and protects the family it is assigned. Our aumakua animal is the hammer head shark. This animal travels & hunts in packs (with its family). As our Jiu-Jitsu academy believes in a strong family environment, always taking care and supporting its members, we feel this is perfect representation of our value system.
