He introduced us as visitors from CA and with tru Hawaiian spirit, the fellow grapplers showed us love and were very welcoming. The class was FILLED with purple belts. I've never seen so many in one room at a time, except for competitions. The training was very technical and easy to follow. The specific training was on point and the 5-min sparring rounds were the icing on the cake. If I lived here, this would be my gym. Mahalo!

I would recommend this place for a good workout.
