Island Jiu Jitsu - Honolulu

About

**Island Jiu Jitsu** is a premier martial arts academy located in **Honolulu, Hawaii**, dedicated to empowering youth through the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Led by **Professor Jason Vigil**, a Black Belt who began teaching in his garage in 2004 and has since built a thriving "Ohana" (family) community, the academy focuses on technical excellence and personal growth. Unlike schools that prioritize competition above all else, Island Jiu Jitsu emphasizes a supportive, ego-free environment. The youth program is designed to build resilience, discipline, and self-respect. Students learn not just how to defend themselves using leverage and technique—beneficial for any size or strength—but also how to be good teammates and community members. **Youth Programs by Age:** * **Children's Class (Ages 5–7):** A fun, high-energy introduction to BJJ fundamentals, focusing on coordination, listening skills, and basic self-defense. (Children as young as 3 may participate based on ability). * **Youth Class (Ages 8–15):** A more structured curriculum that deepens technical knowledge, introducing sport Jiu-Jitsu concepts, drills, and controlled sparring in both Gi and No-Gi. **Location:** 760 Halekauwila Street, Honolulu, HI 96813 (Kaka'ako area) *Also offering a West Oahu location in Ewa Beach.* **Offer:** First week free for new youth students.
