From the reviews
The opportunity to train in Jiu-Jitsu at Ohana HQ has been a five star experience. Three of my children and myself have been training for 6 months with Ohana and have felt like family since day one.
Such a great place for any age. All the staff members are always smiling and are super helpful and careful with the kiddos. This is my sons 1st month and he loves it. He's 4 Every coach here is so awesome at there craft.
Ohana Academy is the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve been practicing martial arts for many years and have been a part of many gyms between Austin and San Antonio. None of them have compared to not only the skill and techniques taught, but also the family-like atmosphere.
Started bjj at 41 and now 2 years later my 2nd home might as well be the mats at Ohana - I love being a member and also really enjoy helping volunteer coach the kids class my son is in. Ohana is packed full of great training partners & great instructors and I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.
New to kickboxing? Start at Ohana Academy HQ
Ohana Academy HQ 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 Ohana Academy HQ
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.
