Kevin Howell started jiu-jitsu for all the wrong reasons. His competitive nature drove him toward the sport, but his love for the art of jiu-jitsu has kept him invigorated for the past 20 years. He grew up in Huntington Beach, and moved to Hawaii for college because he couldn't find another school with better surf.

I started training with Jiu Jitsu League a few months ago. A friend referred me here. I couldn’t be happier training with this family run business. Professor Kevin and Hayley are fantastic coach’s. There is a great vibe at the Jiu Jitsu League. It shows with the class and skill set of the practitioners who train here. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first class or you are a seasonal grappler there is something here for everyone.

I called to ask about training here while visiting from Out of town. The owners responded very quickly and were helpful in getting me current schedule details. So I Dropped in for a no-gi a.m. class. I’m a novice who has only been training a few months. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and trained safely. Gym was super clean and all county covid health mandates were followed. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area. Great atmosphere and training partner.

Let me tell you about what kind of people the owners of Jiu Jitsu League are.
Only a month or two after joining, I decided to fundraise for a 5k run for non-profit event for Parkinson's disease research for my father. Of all my friends and family, Hayley and Kevin were the FIRST to donate money to my fundraiser. Totally unexpected and appreciated. I honestly thought I was just going to be a number like any typical gym membership. They and all the members have been super supportive with me inside and outside of Jiu Jitsu.

The Howell’s are both so welcoming! I could not have felt better walking in there for the first time. Sometimes it can be really intimidating training at a new place, but not at the Jiu Jitsu League. The dojo itself would best be described as minimalist, clean, and comfortable. Looking forward to training here a few nights while I’m in town! I came to roll a little before Worlds, so I haven’t taken an official class yet with Master Howell, but I’ll will give an official review on BJJ Interact once I do!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I can honestly say this is the most welcoming dojo I’ve ever been to! EVERYONE is humble and willing to learn from one another. The energy in this place is fantastic because the way it’s run. Professor Kevin Howell and his wife, Haley Howell (brown belt) and great. I was hooked on the first night. Now they’re family.

An amazing bjj school. I can say with absolute honesty that this is one of "thee" best places to study. Great atmosphere, good people and stellar training. the head coach Kevin Howell has trained and studied under some of the best to ever do it. He is a wealth of knowledge on old school techniques and blends it well with the new school. if you are passing through and love bjj they are friendly to visitors. If looking for a great place to learn bjj, this place has it all. giants to the small and young to the....not so young, all getting it done together. Kevin Howell knowledge in bjj is staggering

I was visiting the area for a couple of weeks and looking for a place to train. As soon as I walked in the doors of The Jiu-Jitsu League, it was very welcoming. Everyone introduced themselves and was friendly. The gym is very open with a lot of mat-space. The place was full every night, everyone has solid technique and the workouts were great. Kevin and Haley are awesome. Kevin is very personable, understands how to teach and extremely knowledgeable. Although I was just visiting, he treated me like a member of the gym. Definitely going back the next time I’m in town.

I visited this gym while I was in Los Angeles and it is by far one of the better gyms I have visited.
The instruction by Professor Kevin is of the highest quality. He is constantly making sure that his students are improving their game and is also having a good time. Training there is challenging but yet still very fun.
The atmosphere at Jiu-Jitsu league is very welcoming. Even though I only trained there for a day, by the end of that day, it felt like I had been training there for a while. The instructors and the members there make you feel very welcome and comfortable. All skill levels are
