From the reviews
I have been training here for almost 15 years and have been involved in martial arts for over 30 years. I’ve met countless martial artists, both students and instructors, and the people here at HMC are some the nicest I’ve come in contact with.
I've been training at HMC Jiu Jitsu since 2014. You would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming environment filled with serious jiu jitsu students in Hawaii. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and will go out of the way to help new students with technique and drills.
I've been training at HMC for about a year now, everyone has been super friendly and helpful. Since I started training I've lost about 25 pounds and that's from jiu jitsu alone. RK the coach is very knowledgeable and patient, he will go over positions with me when I have questions.
HMC Jiujitsu is a great place to train and learn! The black belt instructor RK is very knowledgeable and makes training fun! If you’re looking to get into shape in a friendly environment, all while learning some top level grappling, look no further!
Your first kickboxing class at Hawaii Martial Arts Center (HMC) Academy
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.
