Egan Inouye is a great inspiration to all. The outcomes and accomplishments of the students speak for themselves. They perform the highest in all categories across all ages, male or female.

We were able to learn basic jiujitsu tactics that we could use to improve everyday mobility and core strength. From there we got an introduction to basic self defense moves and we had the opportunity to practice with the coaches. The instruction was clear and easily digestible for all of us, which was great for a group of accountants with practically no experience. This class made most of us want to learn more about self defense and we are also considering taking jujitsu classes. Many thanks to Professor Joe and his team for this wonderful opportunity! I am looking forward to trying more classes with you all and I would definitely recommend this class for an office activity or for anyone looking to learn basic self defense.

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.

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.

Him and his son Gage make sure everyone is taken care of and will pair higher belts with those that need help, and watch out for everyone so nobody gets hurt. Not only is it fun and safe, it is a challenging workout and I always end up learning something useful. Thank you!

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
