Before we knew it... four years went by and our oldest was already in high school. My hubby and I looked at each other and made it a priority to get her in... No matter what our schedule looked like. We asked a long time family friend and Jiu jitsu practitioner where we should go. He recommended HNL Jiu Jitsu. We took her on a Tuesday, after the Holiday... And she loved it!! She is the one telling us that she wants to go everyday. Even after long and grueling days at JROTC Leadership Camp (645a-5p). Thank you Kayle and Jason (and all the coaches) for being so supportive and awesome! You folks break down the steps, and the kids have fun!

He has been attending for almost 3 years since he was 4 years old in the Panther program. It is rare to see the main or head instructor train children. Normally left to other high degree belts but GM Cho leads every class. We are so lucky to have him still teaching and even more so that he is teaching children. GM Cho is famous among the martial arts community and we are lucky to have him here in Honolulu.

They meet the kids exactly where they are, keep things fun, and still teach real technique at a level they can understand. We've already noticed him building confidence, listening better, and learning valuable skills like focus, respect, and perseverance--not just physical moves. It feels like they're teaching life skills as much as Jiu Jitsu, and that means a lot to us. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a positive, age-appropriate martial arts environment!

Full disclosure: this is a biased review because I have been training here for almost 5 years now…read moreand am an official member of the #wushuohana. That said, if you are looking to train in contemporary/traditional external wushu or internal wushu (taiji quan, bagua Zhang, and qigong) on Oahu, this is a good place to do it! The Wushu Center's team of volunteers do their best to provide a wushu training atmosphere full of aloha spirit. We offer quality wushu instruction to all skill levels, with after school programs suitable for children 5 and up. Contemporary competitive wushu is the biggest draw for the younger students, as it is often featured in the movies and TV (Jet Li, Kung Fu Panda, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Jackie Chan) and it is a fun and challenging way to get and stay in shape, make friends, and participate in an internationally competitive sport with surging popularity and modern appeal. Many older youths and adults also enjoy the "internal" wushu classes in Taiji Quan and Bagua Zhang (eight-trigram Palm), which offer excellent holistic wellness and fitness routines while also teaching and building useful and effective self defense skills. The Hawaii Wushu Center is also one of the few places in the US that you can find authentic Yin Family Bagua Zhang, which is pretty special, if you look into it. ;) Ok, I'll wrap this shameless plug up now with another welcome: Aloha E Komo Mai: come join our Wushu Ohana!
