We are starting a gym that goes against the grain for many traditional Jiujitsu gyms, but makes us feel at home. We are breaking generational norms that are outdated & fear based. We want to provide a service that resembles who we are, KANAKA MAOLI, Truest form of Ku’oko’a & Aloha. Our ancestors welcomed all who landed on our shores, holding space for all & creating unity. Now we are recreating ancestral traditions in our GYM - We are the Pillar of Aloha, A place for all to gather who love Jiujitsu & Hawaii.

If you are fully of ALOHA, you will do great things,

All children, all beloved, all descendants,

Indeed, no one is greater than another, with ALOHA,
