I trained under Coach Dustin for the last 3 years before moving to Illinois, and I can't say enough…read moregood things about him or the academy. The technical instruction is outstanding, whether you're brand new to jiu jitsu or preparing for any level of competition. Safety is always the top priority, but the training is still tough and pushes you to improve every day. What really sets this gym apart is the culture. It truly feels like a family. Coach Dustin invests in the people who invest in their training. He traveled with me to competitions, gave his time outside of normal class hours, and was always willing to help me improve. That level of dedication is hard to find. One thing I always appreciated was that class didn't just end because the clock hit a certain time. If people were still getting rounds in, Coach Dustin would stay until everyone finished unless he genuinely had somewhere to be. It showed how much he cared about giving his students every opportunity to train. I left Las Vegas because of a move, and leaving this academy was the hardest part. I made lifelong friends here and became a much better grappler because of Coach Dustin and everyone at Kuleana/Cobrinha GV. If you're looking for a place that offers world-class instruction, a welcoming environment, and coaches who genuinely care about their students, this is the place.

This dojo is recognized by the USANKF and Japan. There's not a lot of bells and whistles here, it's all about just learning the forms and techniques.

A lot of places in town charge a ton and you and your family don't get anywhere near the instruction and attention of this dojo. Plus the location is pretty central in the city.

The beginners class was very structured with a quick 15minute warm up and then you were divided by your level (white, yellow or orange) and the instructors, who were either intermediate or advanced students, would be teaching either basics, forms or techniques for 15 minutes and then rotate so you got instruction in all of the categories and from different instructors. The intermediate class was structured similarly but with 20 minute sections and the instructors were advanced students. Where it started to go downhill was in the advanced class for all the brown and black levels. The owner and head instructor Jones taught that class so it didn't have the same structure. He called it seminar style but I call it boring. By the time I got to that class we actually had more advanced students than beginner and intermediate combined. You would get maybe 20 minutes of actual instruction in this class the rest of the time was usually focusing on one or two techniques and doing them in a technique line. Technique lines are definitely valuable for learning and absolutely should be done but when you're not the one actively participating in it, it gets boring as hell very fast. The only hope to try to learn something as an advanced student was to hope he wasn't teaching that night. Or since we had so few students in the other classes, show up for those and work on something with the other advanced students. This is part of the reason it takes 1 year to advance between the brown ranks and to get to black. Jones himself was an insufferable man to be around. He claimed his teaching style was "old school" and if you made the mistake of becoming an initiate or disciple, you agreed to basically become his slave. He expected you to drop everything to serve him. If you missed a single class, you better have been working because nothing else was acceptable. If he made a mistake on showing a technique and it was pointed out, we all were wrong and he was right. He made his disciples do his personal errands like drop him off and pick up from the airport; clean his pool; do his yard work. I know of at least 4 marriages that ended due to him, including his own and my own. If Jones wasn't involved in the school, it would have been terrific.
