Their intro class has 3-4 kids and two senseis. Their beginner class has way more kids and more senseis to balance the ratio. Street parking and conveniently located in the beginning of Halawa industrial. Their monthly pricing is so reasonable. If you're on the fence, contact them for an intro class- it's worth it.

After searching the underbelly of Reddit and several places online, all positive arrows pointed to Hawaii Judo Academy. They offer a trial class-you can call or sign up on their really user-friendly website. I signed up and attended a class the same day. I absolutely loved the breakdown of instruction during class; I felt the concepts and application were taught very well. They have two floors to their facility and offer jujitsu as well. The schedule is on their website. I highly recommend this training facility! The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming.

Mm. There are basically no places on Oahu that provide adult gymnastics and if there are, let me…read moreknow!! I stayed at work one day rather than go back to my home office in order to be closeby and attend the adult gymnastics class. Athough the facility was nice, it's really tiny. The size of a single company warehouse. They sure do get creative with the space - in that there was a private lesson happening and the kid was tumbling through our class space as well. This would be an amazing aerial studio (high ceilings) but it's pretty cramped, although I have to say they do their best to utilize the space efficiently. This review is for adult gymnastics only. In short: it's the kids class, with adults participating. Not very satisfying. And my warmup was led by like a six year old. As an adult participant, I was not impressed, but don't keep this from bringing your children.

Very disappointed with their customer service. I was charged all of my previous months on the 20th…read moreof every month so I emailed them on the 18th to cancel as per their policy is to cancel 48 hours prior to the billing cycle. Every single month we were charged on the 20th then I get an email from them saying that my billing date is the 17th. My charge did not go through for the next month yet and I cancelled 48 hours prior to when I was regularly charged yet they refuse to cancel the pending charge. Their customer service is horrible and they just seem money hungry. I have been to other locally owned gyms who would easily refund us if we emailed them 48 hours prior to when they bill but I guess this gym does not care about their clients. The overall gym is very small, there is another review for adult gymnastics that gives it 2/3 stars and I have to agree with them. You spend more than half the class stretching and maybe 10 minutes doing actually gymnastics. Sometimes you only do the activity once because of how little time you're given doing actual gymnastics. I would recommend another place that has two hour adult gymnastics for half the price!

Calabrese Combat Academy has been an amazing experience for our whole family. The atmosphere is…read morealways clean, comfortable, and incredibly welcoming -- it truly feels like a second home. Coach Jason, Coach Paul, and Coach Taylor have been outstanding with our three younger sons in the Juniors class. They've shown genuine patience, guidance, and consistency that's made a big difference in our kids' confidence and skill. Over the summer, my partner and I started attending the adult Gi and No-Gi classes, and it's been just as rewarding. Having taken Jiu-Jitsu classes at UFC Gym before, I can honestly say Coach Jason's teaching style stands out -- he breaks down the techniques in a way that just clicks and makes sense. If you're looking for a place to really learn Jiu-Jitsu in a supportive, family-like environment, Calabrese Combat Academy is where you want to be.

It has built confidence in my older son, it's helping my middle son focus better and has motivated my youngest to be more physically active. The senseis are very skilled, patient with younger children and able to challenge the older children to do their best. They are able to accommodate all skill levels from the novice to expert. The senseis encourage teamwork, even though it's an individual sport. All of the students encourage each other during practice. Besides teaching judo the club offers opportunities to serve in the community and team building activities. They don't just focus on improving your physical health but your whole well being.
