I just had an outstanding lesson by Professor Scott today. I wanted to share my experience with him. First of all his academy is super clean and beautiful with a lot of open mat space all new mats. Professor Scott was on time and very friendly with my request. After five minutes of discussions he got me to drill a few techniques and I got some helpful feedback. He explained the various set ups and possible solutions with me. He made sure I did the techniques correctly before we moved on. In the ending of my lesson we did some light sparring to make sure I fixed my mistakes. Professor Scott was a great teacher and super nice person. I Highly recommend you try his academy or private lessons. Strong 5 star ⭐️!

Just wanted to take some time to give Hawaii Jiu Jitsu Lab the credit that it deserves. I've been to plenty of gyms/ academies from traveling and relocating over the years and this place immediately feels like home. Everyone here makes you feel welcome and there's no egos here. It's a place where anyone regardless of their experience level can come and train. It doesn't matter if you're looking to compete, get in shape, build confidence or learn self defense, you can do it all here. The owners actually teach a lot of the classes which is pretty rare. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and effective at teaching. They'll make sure you're doing the moves correctly. Aside from being a solid place to train there's plenty of parking, the schedule is accommodating, there's air conditioning, mats are nice, the inside is aesthetic, seating to watch and a bathroom. Don't hesitate to come in and try a class. You might like it! Mahalo Scott and Ty!
