The instructors display remarkable patience and a strong dedication to each child's development. They manage to strike the perfect balance between making learning fun, encouraging students to reach their potential and ensuring a safe training environment. Beyond jiu-jitsu techniques, they impart valuable life lessons, emphasizing discipline, respect, confidence, and self-awareness. We have personally visited many schools due to our extensive travel and I don't write this review lightly. For any parents considering enrolling their children in jiu-jitsu, I wholeheartedly endorse this school. It's a decision you won't regret - whether your child has experience or not. The benefits extend far beyond the mat!

Got to work on my truck transitions and had some fun rolls. Highly will come back again. I told the two Professors there I'd be back for Open Mat but missed out so hope they don't choke me out too bad next time when I revisit haha. Jokes aside, my encounters had no-ego, welcoming instruction and great learnings which is what I look for when training outside of other schools. Breakdown: I'm on vacation and didn't intend on training but I had the Jiu-Jitsu itch. I did a search on Yelp and decided between Aloha Roll Jiu-Jitsu and another school. I settled on Aloha because they had an earlier 9 am class on Friday and happened to be the closest to me. Once I arrived, a children's class was wrapping up and one of the students acknowledged me at the front desk and said in a welcoming voice and smile "He'll [Professor Gilberto] will be with you soon". Very telling of a great culture. Professor Gilberto was very friendly asking me where I'm coming from and train. He was really accommodating and checked me in, had me sign a waiver and then said the day fee which was $36 and some change with tax. It was a no-gi class and I didn't have a rashguard so he said I'm free to train in my shirt and athletic shorts if I was okay with it. He also gave the option of checking out the rashguards. There were no mediums left so I decided to train in my shirt. Professor Gilberto introduced me to Professor Joey who was instructing for the day. Professor Joey told me where I could but my belongings and shoe on their wooden slots, I lined up and class began where we bowed to a HD Screen of Grandmaster Helio and bowed to Professor Joey. He reviewed the leg drag from open guard and taught a leg drag setup into side mount into mount. I got paired up with a purple belt that was friendly throughout and gave me some details I was missing. After that side mount into mount that gets countered with a quarter guard which opens up for roll into truck position. Casual and friendly instruction style. Professor Joey came over during drills and offered a helpful detail of reaching for the opponent's leg to successfully roll into truck--that was invaluable. After drilling we did open rolls from a kneeling position. I rolled with my purple belt training partner and he was smooth in his roll and helped progress positions without ego or strength. Professor Joey was my second roll and he rolled the same way. Both taking it light but challenging and matching my moderate intensity. Rolled with a teenaged age white belt at the end. He was much smaller than me so I used this as an opportunity to focus on technique. He pushed the pace throughout and was a fun roll allowing me to practice minimal force in defense off his intensity. After the class I grabbed my belongings and Professor Joey jogged over to me and asked if I was leaving. I said I was going to head out to start the day and he was friendly and saw me out saying he hopes I enjoyed the class. Professor Gilberto was at the front desk and remembered my name saying it was a pleasure to have me. Definitely enjoyed class and learnings. Will come back in the future to get some open mat time which I told professors I'd be at. The next ones!

If you have the StreamFit app you'll see each day's description and results to keep track of announcements and personal progress. You'll also view coaches, members and competition. The coaching staff and members are awesome and encouraging. Each and every workout they go through proper movements, posture, scaling, and activity for safety. During the workout they will correct posture, announce timing or remind you of the next set to start. This is particularly helpful when there is a complex movement or heavy weight to achieve. Ambiance is spartan, no gym bros, gals or mirrors. Fully equipped with a rig, bars, DB, weights, rowers, benches, bikes, boxes and mats. I love the option to workout inside the box or outside to capture the breeze and view clouds, chicks, Puu Kukui and Lower Main towards the ocean. You never know what you'll get, so it's truly an entire body workout if you can stick with it for several months. At the least your daily cardio will be rewarded as everyday it's a workout challenge as a group. Paired with a revised diet, you can lose weight, gain lungs and increase muscle and flexibility.
