Growing up in the Pedro Sauer association I’ve always heard of Rylan and Gracie Technics so when the opportunity of visiting Hawaii came I knew immediately where I was going. I’m so glad I got the chance to visit! Training and atmosphere was a 10/10 Everyone was super chill, laid back, and knowledgeable. Thank you Rylan! Mahalo

I had the chance to visit Gracie Technics while I was in Honolulu this past week, and I’m so glad I did. I was able to train under Rylan, whose instruction was clear, detailed, and incredibly welcoming for visitors. The class was full and had great energy, with a solid handful of women training—which made it even more comfortable and encouraging for me. The technique, the atmosphere, and the people all made this an amazing experience. Whether you're local or just visiting, I highly recommend stopping in for a class. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I'm on the island!

I dropped in at a BJJ gym in Honolulu and had such an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming and the energy on the mats was incredible. The instruction was clear, the rolls were challenging but respectful, and the overall vibe made it a place you instantly want to come back to. A big shoutout to Matt for being so helpful and making the visit even better. Truly one of the best training sessions I’ve had while traveling. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for great Jiu-Jitsu and an awesome community!
