If you’re reading this and thinking of starting jiu jitsu with this academy then you’ve made the right choice. I’ve been thinking of adding BJJ to my life for a long time now and only two weeks ago I gave this place a shot. Let me tell you this was by far one of the best decisions I’ve made in years!
From the convenience of location, the cleanliness and the true ohana spirit when training are a few things that make this spot a 5 Star rating.
Classes are available for kids and adults, perfect for everyone in the family. Doesn’t matter if you’re looking to learn self-defense, get in

Had an awesome experience trying BJJ for the first time at TPJJ. Kaleo was very welcoming and helpful. He exemplifies the aloha spirit! Sun was a great instructor. He was very patient and took the time to explain the moves and how they would work in real-life situations. Definitely recommend if you want to try BJJ without feeling intimidated!

I was referred to Team Papakolea by good friends n coworkers. I was looking to improve my fitness! Looking for something fun to do while getting my workout done! I was so impressed by how Professor Kaleo Auwave knowledge and skill on the art of jiu-jitsu. Not only that! They welcome me and immediately made me feel comfortable. Every class session, you get to learn new things with the help of your team mates! Don't look no further! If your interested in martial arts, jiu-jitsu or mma this is place to go or even if you just looking to improve yourself physically and mentally! 🤙

It is hard for me to really encapsulate how this school has helped me in my life. However, I must say that this practice and its people have changed my life. I am much more fit and aware of my body because of the functional exercises I have learned. I have also developed a real confidence and ability in addressing aggressive individuals with an effective plan to keep me safe. With these, I have fostered discipline, fortitude in difficult situations and a genuine camaraderie with my teammates. I treat my training as a spiritual practice. I feel once you see how it affects your life there is no going
