I still remember the dojo precepts To cultivate the sprit of effort To uphold the principles propriety and courtesy To perfect the mind of patience To live the way of truth and not to lose self control or act in a violent manner. 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.

Traveling back home to Hawaii, I wanted to keep up with my BJJ training so I reached out to…read moreProfessor Eric and he quickly invited me to visit his gym...I think I may have found my gym away from my home gym. I visited Mad Tiger on a weekday gi class and am impressed - Prof Eric and three of his awesome students (2x blue, 1x brown belt) welcomed me with open arms. The instructions from Prof Eric were situationally based that I could easily relate and practice. Rolling followed and you can easily assess the quality of the gym and instructor by the way students roll, especially with an out of town visitor - they practiced restraint and control, instead of cranking down to execute a submission (where injuries can occur) or using unscrupulous (i.e. butthole) techniques, ensuring everyone was able to have a good grappling session. Located in a converted warehouse in a residential area, close to Wheeler Army Airbase (Wahiawa), MTA has the vibe of an old school academy with a great professor and students. I know where I'll be visiting when I travel to Hawaii.

Hawaiian Kajukenbo Association (HKA) has been an amazing place to begin our daughter's martial arts…read morejourney. 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.
