I'm a very shy person and wanted to come out of my comfort zone so that's why I've decided to join this club. The staffing and coaches are extremely friendly and welcomed me right away!

Not only did she gain confidence and discipline, but she also learned valuable self-defense skills she can carry with her for life. Coach Brandon and Michelle truly care about their students and are very involved with the kids and families at DVG. You can tell they genuinely want every child to grow both on and off the mats. We're so thankful for everything they've poured into Myla during her time here. DVG has definitely made a positive impact on her journey, and she's going to miss being part of the DVG family!

From the moment we arrived, everyone was friendly and made him feel right at home. Matt went out of his way to take care of Brenden and made sure he had a great experience on the mats. The instruction, atmosphere, and hospitality were all top notch. If you're visiting Honolulu and want to get some training in, this is absolutely the place to go. Highly recommend!

I will start off this review by saying I am a student at Kansept Academy. My son and I have been…read moretraining at Kansept for a little over 6 months. With that said we are both brown belts and have been training for over 8 years and have been to many different academies. We had been looking for a new school to train as we had "outgrown" our previous school. What made Kansept stand out was the head instructor (Professor) Jeremiah (Miah) San Nicolas. Miah is a high level competitor who has an extensive knowledge of Jiu jitsu. He is very detailed in his instruction and has a very structured approach. I can honestly say my Jiu jitsu game has improved significantly in the short time that I have trained here. Come by and try a class, you won't be disappointed. OSS

The techniques were very detailed and precise and the instruction was top notch. Coach Miah did an awesome job checking in on me during my quick visit and each of my training partners had elite grappling skills. I definitely would recommend Kansept Academy for anyone looking to train jiu-jitsu in Oahu.

My 15yr old son was first invited to Sapateiro's open mat by a family friend. Although, my son…read moredoesn't train there, we were welcomed with open arms. The people who train there are really friendly and quick to offer helpful tips. Their Jiu Jitsu is top notch and very technical. Not the typical smash and pass style that you see at some other gyms. We watched a kids class and Coach Edmund is very patient and makes the class enjoyable. You can tell that the kids are having fun yet still learning a valuable skill. My son also did a private lesson with Coach Edmund to help prepare him for an upcoming tournament. Edmund took the time to watch a video of my son competing and worked with him on things that needed improvement. Sadly, we live on the other side of the island. If we didn't, I would love to have my son train there. If you're looking for a Jiu Jitsu school with no drama or big egos but yet very technical, then Sapateiro is the place to be.

My daughter has learned so much and grown in confidence since starting her Jiu-Jitsu journey here.

I feel grateful to be a part of this martial arts community and I highly recommend Sapateiro Jiu-Jitsu to anyone looking for a supportive and excellence-driven environment for their child, and adults as well.

I joined about two years ago for kickboxing (PJ, Chris, and Justin are incredible), but really appreciated that the membership allows you to divide up your classes however you like. I ended up taking up jiu jitsu and recently started kali escrima with Ian - my only regret is that I didn't start sooner. Marital arts is such a humbling experience, and walking into a new gym can be so intimidating. O2 is perfect for every experience level from the individual who has only seen action movies to the high level grappler and those who spar regularly. As a whole, they call it the O2 fam and it truly feels like it! The gym is actually owned by Mike and Chris, two brothers, who truly give it a family feel. They, and all the coaches, are amazing at what they do and lead their classes with expertise and a lot of humor. And as another reviewer mentioned, this is definitely somewhere where you have to check your ego at the door because it's a fam and we have to take care of each other. O2 is on the second floor above Goodwill along Kamehameha. There's plenty of parking and the lot entrance is on Hekaha. During the pandemic they kept the gym open and prioritized membership safety with online classes then grappling with dummies and working in pods. They offer times throughout the day and on weekends. The schedule is a little modified because of COVID but definitely check them out!
