The feeling of getting up at 4:30am to get smashed by your friends might not be everyone's cup of coffee, but it's my ultimate start of the day. Getting some fun rolls in learning from experienced instructors like Nyza and Ed is a great way to start the morning. I definitely recommend coming to the 5am class!

Masters Martial Arts School was the perfect fit and offers a military discount and family rate reduction for my son and I (I'm hoping my 4 year old shows interest in training soon to get even more training and value). Coach Nyza is a very welcoming, positive, and uplifting instructor that demonstrates patience with all students. He possesses complete mastery of his craft as a martial artist and instructor. There are a lot of opportunities for beginners and advanced classes. I go at 5am and my son goes at 4pm which is perfect since I don't want my training to interfere with my family time after work. The culture is extremely welcoming and family oriented. All instructors, assistants, and students check their egos at the door and work toward the same objective, which fosters a cohesive and comfortable training environment. Coach Ed instructs the 5am class and provides thorough instruction for all levels while managing to keep things light with humorous analogies. The group varies from 10-20 people in the mornings so the instruction is more personalized unlike larger chain gyms that have 2-3 times the students training. My son and I have been training here since January and I highly recommend Masters Martial Arts for anyone looking to train regardless of age, gender, or experience level.

At one point it was difficult to get into his class, which tells you a lot about how much he made it fun! This type of change is bound to happen. Can you please get a replacement cycling coach with good music and not someone who plays sucky music? I think that ALL cycling instructors should take AJ's class before teaching killer cycle. I mean if her class is always booked, with a waitlist that never seems to go down, then she's doing something right! Especially when other cycling coaches only have 4-5 people who show up at their class. All I'm saying is that I want options for other great classes when AJ's cycling class is full and I can't get in! Thank you for listening.

I was recently visiting Hawaii on a trip from Philadelphia and I wanted to find a Jiu Jitsu Academy…read moreto train on my stay. I reached out to Allan Lima and he immediately responded in a friendly and welcoming manner and invited me to train At his school during my visit. I was very pleased with my experience! Allan's Academy was most welcoming, respectful and professional and I had a great experience training. The school was not too big nor too small which led to great hands on and personal instruction. The training was hard and yet very technical. Allan himself in my opinion was a very gifted instructor, pointing out carefully technical details to the techniques which flowed in a logical and practical progression. The physical building was no frills yet more than adequate. If you live in Hawaii and looking for a great school to learn jiu jitsu at any level or are visiting and looking for a friendly and accommodating place to train I would highly recommend!

It's a place where anyone regardless of their experience level can come and train. It doesn't matter if you're looking to compete, get in shape, build confidence or learn self defense, you can do it all here. The owners actually teach a lot of the classes which is pretty rare. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and effective at teaching. They'll make sure you're doing the moves correctly. Aside from being a solid place to train there's plenty of parking, the schedule is accommodating, there's air conditioning, mats are nice, the inside is aesthetic, seating to watch and a bathroom. Don't hesitate to come in and try a class. You might like it! Mahalo Scott and Ty.

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.

It is actually up a set up stairs directly on top of the cross fit gym, and jiu jitsu gym. Parking is tight here people usually park across the street behind a chain link fence. Street parking is also available on the whole side of the roads. I wouldn't risk it parking in a designated business spot in their tiny parking lot. That aside.... We Decided to visit this place through meetups app while on vacation for a breath workshop with Hunter. I had been looking a month ago at things I would love to do while out if our normal area, for classes and workshops to add to my training. I was glad I found this one! Once in, and talking to the instructor He said they're trying new classes out, and currently his is donation based, (but I'm sure it could change in the future), and to bring your own mat/ blanket etc for a rejuvenating intro to breath on weds at 6pm for 45 minutes. I am Yoga Nidra certifies, and this very much so reminded me of that with breath work. However, we were consciously awake and checked up on constantly through the practice. An awesome experience for those that need to tune in to themselves and out of the world. Great for people visiting the island looking to relax on a deeper level, and for locals who need to get back in touch with their innermost. Strongly suggest! I like that this studios energy seems very balanced, safe, and comfortable. It's very chill and welcoming, as was Hunter. Thanks for the lovely experience, and for hosting such awesome events for people on meetup app! Hope to visit next time I'm in the area :0)

Chi Kung, Kung Fu, Tai Chi are just some of what are offered. They also host workshops on varied topics conducted by themselves, as well as other community members. Workshops such as "Heal Your Back & Neck Pain", "Building Better Balance" have provided me with tools for life. My back and neck are the most comfortable they have been in years. I started with Tai Chi and discovered so much else to learn. In addition to Chi Kung, I'm enjoying kettlebell and a variety of strength training. My flexibility has tremendously improved, too. At times, it's been challenging, but I enjoy learning new things and feeling well. The quality of teaching is very high here. Bruno is very patient, humble, and knowledgable beyond his years. He is an exceptional teacher and the reason for my first yelp review. I've learned more from him in one year than the 20 years I invested in gym memberships.This is not an exaggeration. Other students have told me that Catherine is an excellent teacher, as well. If you enjoy learning new things and enjoy feeling well, give San Bao Center a try.
