The technical instruction is outstanding, whether you're brand new to jiu jitsu or preparing for any level of competition. Safety is always the top priority, but the training is still tough and pushes you to improve every day. What really sets this gym apart is the culture. It truly feels like a family. Coach Dustin invests in the people who invest in their training. He traveled with me to competitions, gave his time outside of normal class hours, and was always willing to help me improve. That level of dedication is hard to find. One thing I always appreciated was that class didn't just end because the clock hit a certain time. If people were still getting rounds in, Coach Dustin would stay until everyone finished unless he genuinely had somewhere to be. It showed how much he cared about giving his students every opportunity to train. I left Las Vegas because of a move, and leaving this academy was the hardest part. I made lifelong friends here and became a much better grappler because of Coach Dustin and everyone at Kuleana/Cobrinha GV. If you're looking for a place that offers world-class instruction, a welcoming environment, and coaches who genuinely care about their students, this is the place.

Maybe I'm just feeling a bit melancholic today but I had to come back and post an update. I wanted…read moreto leave a message for any parents who are on the fence about having their children train in martial arts, especially their daughters. Master Black presented my daughter with her black belt just before she turned 16, and this experience has been so much more than I expected. I know it wasn't always easy for her to persevere; Master Black had to have a serious heart-to-heart with her once (I think it was at the high green or low brown belt level). As a single parent, it was often challenging for me to find the money to pay for these classes or to ask friends for help with pick-ups and drop-offs when I couldn't manage it myself. Yes, I'm incredibly proud of her, and it's fun to say she's a black belt--though she won't tell you that herself. However, as the world has only gotten crazier over the years, the real value of this training has become clear. Allowing my child the freedom to explore life has been so much easier knowing she can handle herself. I cherish the memories of watching her flip 6-foot-tall Mr. Avery over her head from a choke hold multiple times (Bless you, Mr. Avery!) and of the time a salesman in a furniture warehouse startled us and I saw her immediately go into a stance without hesitation--then it was his turn to be startled, I saw his eyes go wide. These are the thoughts I hold onto as I try to sleep, knowing my daughter is "out there in the world" and not under my roof. So do it--go meet Master Black, show up, and don't give up. Thank you, Master Black and the USSD family; it truly took a village. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

It's right off the 215 and Gibson exit, which makes it super easy to access. I'm currently making my way towards my bachelor's degree in criminal justice at UNLV, on track to graduate next fall, so this class was a perfect opportunity to work with Metro and what to expect when I begin a career in the criminal justice field. Can I just say that I got in a much well needed workout here? Being the big workout nerd I am, this class was extremely useful for me and I learned new moves and techniques to use anytime I'm in danger or when I feel threatened. This was an all-female self defense class, which I truly appreciated. We were introduced to one of the owners of Gracie Barra, Rafaela (I think that's how you spell her name), who guided us step after step to each self-defense workout. Some moves were easy, some moves were a little difficult and confusing than others. Other instructors went around and helped us every step of the way. My fitness levels are at a good standing and I was told by my self-defense partner that I had excellent strength, mostly in my thighs. With the conclusion of the class, everyone that attended was offered one free week of jiu-jitsu classes, plus we all got a goodie bag from LVMPD. I'm returning next week to attend one of these classes and I can't wait! Looking forward to it!

She goes above and beyond to make sure members are supported, and she's always willing to work with you based on your personal needs. That kind of dedication and care is rare and very much appreciated. Overall, this gym isn't just about fitness or self-defense--it's about building confidence, discipline, and valuable life skills. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Uneducated and uninformed lead instructors singled out a child publicly for a little red spot on kiddo and send them home. I'd like to point out that the instructor isn't a medical professional/practitioner nor are they medically qualified to diagnose a child and worse suggest medication to resolve something that hasn't been medically diagnosed. Overstepping boundaries with children are a no-no in my book. If this business has to address medical concerns. Have medical staff. That way HIPAA is not violated. Which is where I will also be reporting this incident. Lastly this didn't happen to my child but the child it did happen to was extremely embarrassed and discouraged from returning. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else's child so I'm speaking up. GET MEDICAL STAFF IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MEDICAL DEMANDS!!

We walked in to try the $20 for 2 week deal (which is an incredible deal), and could immediately tell this was what we were looking for.

Our son started improving in focus, determination, discipline, and self-respect as he accomplished hard tasks all within the first few weeks. This is absolutely worth your investment, and the challenges and motivational talks given by Senior Master Durant is what I want my son to be influenced by. Seriously, so good!

All her hard work has even inspired her older sister who is about to be 18 to join. The team that Master Durant has created of young leaders is a wonderful group of kids who I personally have had the pleasure to watch grow in the last 3 years. All of them are much more confident, outgoing, and connected to one another as a group. Ohana Martial Arts will provide a strong foundation for your kids to build off of in the chaos of real life. Believe me these kids will grow up and go out in to life and not be afraid of failure or success. These kids are not just here for titles and medals.

Several weeks later, after obtaining medical clearance to resume working out, I attempted to schedule sessions, only to discover that my personal trainer was no longer with the company. This led me to request a refund. For nearly a month, I have been trying to obtain a refund of almost $6000. My efforts have been unsuccessful, including a visit to the location, where I was threatened with security and told that my situation had been escalated. I called 311, as I did not consider it an emergency, and a police officer arrived to mediate. Spencer misrepresented information to the officer, claiming I had a contract, which I never received. As a result, I am being forced to pursue civil action and incur additional fees, which I expect to be reimbursed for once I receive my refund. I am writing this review to caution others at this location to be wary of verbal agreements, as this company has demonstrated sneaky behavior regarding refunds. In the past, I had looked forward to visiting this location, but my experience has deteriorated significantly over the last few months. Their contract stipulates that they must reimburse clients if they cannot fulfill their needs, yet they are refusing to refund me. Despite my efforts to contact Taylor, the owner, via email, phone, and in-person visits, I have been informed that he is unavailable to speak with me. Consequently, I am being forced to take this matter to court. This facility used to gear towards children and the music they play there e is inappropriate for children and it's always dirty, and it smells.The place has truly changed since I first signed up....it's been extremely disappointing dealing with such unprofessional since making another large purchase. Spencer the manager is very unprofessional. Taylor the owner from what I am told is too busy to meet with me about this.

It wasn't easy finding a place that tailors to teenagers (youth) since most of the martial arts businesses I've researched had smaller kids or adults. And to find a place that had some female students so that my daughter can easily relate with (girl standpoint). Long story short, the very first day of class, she had a huge meltdown outside of the studio not wanting to go through with it. There were a couple older kids who helped talk to her, calm her down, and pretty much "handheld" her into trying the class. Thankfully she got through it. Big thanks to John, Caesar, Bianca, and Stephanie. You guys are awesome! Fast forward 6 months later, my daughter has made new friends and has gained a lot more confidence. She enjoys coming to class especially when Sensei Dave teaches (the buff one haha). She says he's funny and cool. But actually everyone helps out, which is nice.
