From the reviews
CJJF is absolutely amazing. My family started by putting our oldest right when he turned 4 and he has been in it for 2 years and has learned so much from this gym. We love it so much that we put our 2nd son in and he is having so much fun.
Great family environment! It was the first time training BJJ for my two youngest daughters and they loved the classes and the new friends they met here. We were welcomed with open arms, and this place has become our second home over the years.
We visited several classes and CJJF seemed to be the most homey and fun class. My daughter loved it and wanted to start right away. And Jon and the other teachers are very supportive. I highly recommend CJJF to anyone looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. My daughter looks forward to her weekly classes.We love CJJF!
When I asked my coach back home what to look for in a good gym when I told him I’d be in Hawaii for a month, he gave me three things: cleanliness, good coaching, and community. I can safely say the CJJF exceeded my expectations in all of these categories.
New to kickboxing? Start at CJJF Central
CJJF Central comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at CJJF Central
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
