Team Papakolea - Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

About

**Team Papakolea Jiu-Jitsu (TPJJ)** is more than just a gym; it is "Hawaii's Original Jiu-Jitsu family." Founded by **Professor Kaleo Auwae**, a 6th Degree Black Belt under Grandmaster Relson Gracie, this academy provides authentic, lineage-based instruction in the heart of **Honolulu**. With two locations—one in **Kakaʻako** and the original in **Papakolea**—TPJJ offers accessible, high-quality training rooted in the community. The youth program is designed to build "champions on and off the mat." Unlike sport-focused schools, TPJJ stays true to the Relson Gracie philosophy, prioritizing **self-defense** above all else. Students learn how to protect themselves in real-world situations, gaining confidence, discipline, and respect in a supportive "Ohana" (family) atmosphere. **Youth Program Highlights:** * **Self-Defense First:** Curriculum emphasizes practical techniques to neutralize bullies and stay safe, following the Grandmaster Relson Gracie method. * **Community Roots:** Established to provide a positive alternative for local youth, fostering strong values and keeping kids on the right path. * **Experienced Leadership:** Instruction is overseen by Professor Kaleo, who has been training since the early days of the UFC in Hawaii. **Locations:** * **Kakaʻako:** 505 Coral St, Suite #200, Honolulu, HI 96813 * **Papakolea:** 2150 Tantalus Dr, Honolulu, HI 96813 **Offer:** Free no-obligation trial available.
