I also still remember one of my first sensis Roy Woodward always reminding us to always say Please and thank you which I still do to this day. I also had another sensei Sensei Eric who told me if your basics are good every thing else will be good. At first I thought it was just karate basics but he also ment the basics of life like being sn honest and caring person and being someone who has compassion and is willing to help others something i did when I became a sempai. I still pratice the basics at home but forgot the katas. I would love to go back but I'm out of shape and older now body isn't what it used to be LOL.

My children love training here--they've made great friends and gained valuable skills in Jiu-Jitsu. Beyond technique, they've developed confidence, respect, improved concentration, and learned self-control, discipline, and perseverance--skills that will last a lifetime. The way the coaches teach is exceptional. They explain techniques in a way that is easy for children to understand, making each lesson fun and engaging. This has helped my kids grasp the fundamentals quickly while enjoying the learning process. A few months ago my children participated in their first tournament, and Coach Maraya went above and beyond to support and encourage them, making the experience truly memorable. This type of dedication from the coaches is what makes this academy so special. Additionally, the convenience of the location is a huge plus. There's plenty of parking, and the academy is inside a 24-hour fitness facility, which means I can get my own workout in while my kids are training. We're grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a positive, family-friendly environment to learn BJJ.

From the very start, we felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated as part of their ohana. HKA creates a warm, family-oriented atmosphere where students ages 4 and up are encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive. The instructors are incredibly supportive and patient, taking the time to help each student develop not only their martial arts skills, but also confidence, discipline, and respect. Proper form and technique are reinforced early on in hopes of encouraging good habits. There are competitions (optional) throughout the year to provide the students an opportunity to test their skills. What we value most is how HKA teaches lessons that go far beyond self-defense. The values learned in training carry over into everyday life, helping students build strong character both inside and outside the dojo. It truly feels like being part of a community where everyone supports one another like family. If you're looking for a positive and enriching martial arts experience where your child can gain lifelong skills and make lasting friendships, we highly recommend visiting Hawaiian Kajukenbo Association and seeing for yourself what makes this dojo so wonderful.
