They are fair, encouraging, and offer enough rigor to keep you engaged and motivated. The price is reasonable, and the monthly fee is for the whole family, so I decided to join my 5 year old son! I must say, doing drills with a group of kids is keeping me young! We very much look forward to our trainings, which are twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday. I love that practice is on school nights, where my son can exert pent up energy from the school day. I look forward to being a part of this community and learning some new skills. One day, we hope to earn higher belts!

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!

I just moved back to the island not too long ago. Our children are heavily into BJJ and my son is…read morean avid competitor. We checked out other studios around the island and I will tell you what, they don't compare to this one. My son did a trial and instantly fell in love with this place. Coach Jeremy, Pat, and Mike are some of the best coaches out there. They are the main three who teach and they have a-lot of color belts who help out. This studio is a growing studio and they are very competitive. They are very detail oriented and they ensure every kid understands the technique before they move on. For competitions they all show out and are extremely supportive of the kids. Christine is the studio mom who is also the owner and she is very professional and nice. Everyone makes you feel like family there and even though we just started, they welcomed us with open arms as if we have been there awhile. Our son's guard game got so much better since he got there. Highly recommended. The place is huge and the mats are huge as well. The place is clean and there is ample amount of parking space which makes it even better. They also host events the first Friday of every month to the island. If you're looking for a place to train, look no further. This place has customers coming from Kaneohe and Waikiki willing to drive all the way here. That should tell you enough about the business and professionalism.

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

Coach Miah and the team welcomed me with open arms and provided me with a much needed training session while I was on vacation. The techniques were very detailed and precise and the instruction was top notch.

I definitely would recommend Kansept Academy for anyone looking to train jiu-jitsu in Oahu.

He invited us to observe a regular class and while we were there, we felt very welcomed and comfortable. He would come over periodically to explain what they were doing. As luck would have it, for the actual lessons it was just my sister and I with three instructors. They catered the classes to what we wanted to learn and at our pace. I had Sensei Donald as my partner for the majority of the classes and he made the scenarios very realistic, which I appreciated. Throughout the classes the instructors Kylan, Donald and Joe were very professional, full of knowledge, and patient. One of the things I thought was particular great, was the way Sensei Kylan would apologize before demonstrating a move on one of the other instructors which usually resulted with the other instructor on the ground or tapping out. I'm planning on taking the regular classes once the 5 classes are up.

There are many dojos (schools) of Aikido in Hawaii but Aikido Yuishinkai Honolulu is definitely the best! Sensei Peters and Agena have many years of experience in aikido as well as other martial arts so are able to not only teach one how to use aikido but to ilustrate different methods of defending ones self if needed. Unlike many dojos, the students aren't left to puzzle over why they're doing these odd moves over and over again. Sensei Peters will take out time to show why these exercises are important and how to use them. Weapons training with wooden swords, staffs and knives is also taught both offensive and defensive techniques. I think the one thing that really makes this dojo stand out is they recieve instruction from Master Koretoshi Maruyama, founder of the Aikido Yuishinkai Style and it is passed on to the students. This is a great club for novices or experienced students. Sensei Peters has both a childrens class and an adults class, so age is not a problem. Stop by and check these folks out sometimes!
