My son started at New Creation about a year ago, when he'd first turned 5. He was struggling with…read moreanxiety and in emailing with the Professor I was assured they had had kids with similar personalities and challenges and that once on the mat, they felt comfortable. We committed and signed up for a 3 month trial period and it took my son 2 months to consistently get on the mat and participate. But once he broke through the barrier of his nerves, he was on the mat consistently and learned a lot about self confidence, self reliance, a good work ethic, discipline and so much more. He's made connections and friendships within the academy that have given a sense of community, support and acceptance. It's been a truly transformative experience for our youngest and an answer to many prayers! Our experience has been so positive with our now 6yr old that my 20yr old has joined the adults fundamentals class! I can't say enough good things about Professor CJ, Coach Yolee and Coach Queas. Family-run and family "feel". If you're looking for a positive environment for your child (or yourself for that matter) to learn Jiu Jitsu, be supported as the individual that they are, grow and live in a faith based environment, this is the place to be.

Stopping by the school to catch the end of a class was still a great idea as Professor Christian Grandi was so friendly and inviting. While his guys rolled he sat and talked to us about their training schedule, the school in general and various other things. Our family felt very welcomed by everyone there and we can just tell that they are the type of Jiujitsu family we would like to spend our time with here. It was very apparent that safety for his students is number one to Christian. We watched him correct/adjust his students along they way as they grappled. We were very impressed by the atmosphere and environment, it felt like home.

Traveling from Southern California and I wanted to get some last second training in. Aloha Roll was…read morea real treat getting my Jiu-Jitsu fix in, welcoming ownership and friendly instruction. Got to work on my truck transitions and had some fun rolls. Highly will come back again. I told the two Professors there I'd be back for Open Mat but missed out so hope they don't choke me out too bad next time when I revisit haha. Jokes aside, my encounters had no-ego, welcoming instruction and great learnings which is what I look for when training outside of other schools. Breakdown: I'm on vacation and didn't intend on training but I had the Jiu-Jitsu itch. I did a search on Yelp and decided between Aloha Roll Jiu-Jitsu and another school. I settled on Aloha because they had an earlier 9 am class on Friday and happened to be the closest to me. Once I arrived, a children's class was wrapping up and one of the students acknowledged me at the front desk and said in a welcoming voice and smile "He'll [Professor Gilberto] will be with you soon". Very telling of a great culture. Professor Gilberto was very friendly asking me where I'm coming from and train. He was really accommodating and checked me in, had me sign a waiver and then said the day fee which was $36 and some change with tax. It was a no-gi class and I didn't have a rashguard so he said I'm free to train in my shirt and athletic shorts if I was okay with it. He also gave the option of checking out the rashguards. There were no mediums left so I decided to train in my shirt. Professor Gilberto introduced me to Professor Joey who was instructing for the day. Professor Joey told me where I could but my belongings and shoe on their wooden slots, I lined up and class began where we bowed to a HD Screen of Grandmaster Helio and bowed to Professor Joey. He reviewed the leg drag from open guard and taught a leg drag setup into side mount into mount. I got paired up with a purple belt that was friendly throughout and gave me some details I was missing. After that side mount into mount that gets countered with a quarter guard which opens up for roll into truck position. Casual and friendly instruction style. Professor Joey came over during drills and offered a helpful detail of reaching for the opponent's leg to successfully roll into truck--that was invaluable. After drilling we did open rolls from a kneeling position. I rolled with my purple belt training partner and he was smooth in his roll and helped progress positions without ego or strength. Professor Joey was my second roll and he rolled the same way. Both taking it light but challenging and matching my moderate intensity. Rolled with a teenaged age white belt at the end. He was much smaller than me so I used this as an opportunity to focus on technique. He pushed the pace throughout and was a fun roll allowing me to practice minimal force in defense off his intensity. After the class I grabbed my belongings and Professor Joey jogged over to me and asked if I was leaving. I said I was going to head out to start the day and he was friendly and saw me out saying he hopes I enjoyed the class. Professor Gilberto was at the front desk and remembered my name saying it was a pleasure to have me. Definitely enjoyed class and learnings. Will come back in the future to get some open mat time which I told professors I'd be at. The next ones!
