United BJJ Hawaii is a phenomenal place to begin or continue your jujitsu journey. I became…read moreacquainted with the owners, legendary Professors Bruno and Angela Pucci, during their process of becoming an affiliated We Defy Foundation gym. From the meet and greet, I was hooked on their gym dynamic--a welcoming gym full of experienced individuals working together to progress in the art form. Classes are well-structured with lessons followed by live roll applications. The coaches at the gym are very involved, and it shows through the positive learning environment their gym has. I travel a lot for work, which provides the opportunity to visit many gyms. Though I am still very junior in BJJ, this is by far my favorite gym to train at! 10/10 this places goes above and beyond.

As a family with little to no experience with combat sports, we weren't sure what to expect when we…read morejoined United BJJ, but the coaches made us feel comfortable from the start. My children love training here--they've made great friends and gained valuable skills in Jiu-Jitsu. Beyond technique, they've developed confidence, respect, improved concentration, and learned self-control, discipline, and perseverance--skills that will last a lifetime. The way the coaches teach is exceptional. They explain techniques in a way that is easy for children to understand, making each lesson fun and engaging. This has helped my kids grasp the fundamentals quickly while enjoying the learning process. A few months ago my children participated in their first tournament, and Coach Maraya went above and beyond to support and encourage them, making the experience truly memorable. This type of dedication from the coaches is what makes this academy so special. Additionally, the convenience of the location is a huge plus. There's plenty of parking, and the academy is inside a 24-hour fitness facility, which means I can get my own workout in while my kids are training. We're grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a positive, family-friendly environment to learn BJJ.

They tell me its because they like the students, drills, and instructors. Just happens that this academy has many students that are of very similar skill level and size which really helps with their training (especially my younger/small kid) using technique (vice overpowering with strength and size). I see that the instructors teach at a level higher than beginner for the Saturday class and explain/demonstrate/monitor in a way that kids will understand, give their attention, and execute. The class has ample time for drills and sparring. Many of the kids participate in lots of competitions big & small and for the ones that compete, a lot of them do really well.
