Team Papakolea Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Coach Tomas is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable making my experience enjoyable and fun.

Welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable, family atmosphere

Atmosphere was conducive to training with intensity and learning control of the gi pant legs and getting through or around guard. Some of the more experienced students need to be more disciplined so that those coming up have the best environment to learn and practice techniques.

Instruction today was great! It was one of those sessions where so much was covered and drilled that I left feeling more confident that if I was put into that scenario and position, I have more options and a better idea of how to react and move. Since joining TPJJ, my life has changed in more ways than one. The coach, the academy, my fellow classmates all have been incredible to me and my family. The support and aloha goes further than jiujitsu. This academy is special beyond just the art, it’s a community and family. Mahalo TPJJ Mahalo Tiffanie Mahalo professor kaleo🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Jiu jitsu helps me to focus and learn to be tougher. Coach Kaleo is very helpful when he does demonstrations

My professor teaches from his heart. You can really feel the depth of his experience with jiujitsu in every technique he carefully explains. He breaks down each move clearly, showing not just how to do it but why it works. I’m thankful that I am able to still train under his watchful eye. I’m definitely a happy student🙏 Training at Team Papakolea Jiu-Jitsu Academy feels like more than just learning skills - it’s about absorbing years of knowledge and passion that make every session meaningful and inspiring.
