Coach Nyza is an incredible instructor. I started taking classes and really enjoyed the workout and getting the hang of BJJ. My 3 year old started classes shortly after and has some struggles with attention - Coach Nyza was so patient, yet firm and our son really benefited from his coaching. He is truly so great with kids, engaging and holds them to a high - yet achievable, standard. We are super impressed with the skills our son gained at his time at MMA, unfortunately we are moving off island, otherwise we would be with Coach Nyza for the long haul. His facility is top notch and professional, incredible families and great people all around. Would recommend Coach Nyza and MMA to anyone, super thankful to have had the pleasure of training with him and his amazing team.

Coach Nyza has all the credentials in BJJ. He is a master of his art. But most importantly, he has command and control of his students without ever having to yell at them. My son has been training with Coach Nyza for four years now. Never have I seen the man lose his temper at the kids. He is patient but firm. He is knowledgeable and he cares about his students.

I have been going to this gym every single week for the past 10 months. Since I obviously enjoy going to this school, I might as well put a review in! What I'm grateful for is that there is a women only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This was the initial indicator that helped me feel more comfortable with trying a completely new sport. Then, after talking to (whom I now know as) Chelsea on the phone, praise over how welcoming the women are that was the push to try a class. I'm glad I did! The overall gym environment has been great! Everyone is there to learn and practice. I don't feel uncomfortable or like I'll get hurt. Nyza has been a wonderful coach, too. He always seems relaxed and happy to be teaching and is patient when you have questions.

My three children have been taking jiu-jitsu classes with Coach Nyza for over 2 years. It has helped my daughter socialize a lot, today she is more confident. I recommend it 100% MMA.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Coach Nyza's facility, especially for the worthwhile lessons that my son is learning, both physically and mentally. It's simple: just show up and come be amazed for sure. Mahalos plenty!!!
