One of the better Muay Thai / JJ gyms Ive been too. Group trainings come with lots of pointers and a high priority on perfecting your skillset. Doesnt matter what level you are at this place carries a lot of value.

My fiance and I trained here during our family trip and we really wish we could've trained here more! The instructors are really knowledgeable and everyone was very welcoming. Definitely recommend others training here if they're in Honolulu for Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai classes. We'll be back for sure!

I had been to 2 other Academies, before I found what I was looking for at Gracie technics. If you are looking for actual self-defense Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place. Rylan and Matt are amazing teachers, and truly run a professional Academy. Every lesson is well thought out, and they break down technique for everyone. Training is very safe there. Very high level Jiu Jitsu practitioners there to roll with as well, which makes your Jiu Jitsu that much better.
