More Than a Martial Art — A Way of Life

Hawaii Jiujitsu Foundation Inc was established to bring the life-changing benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Hawaii's youth, particularly those from underserved communities. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to train, grow, and succeed.

Our Mission

To provide accessible, high-quality Jiu-Jitsu training to Hawaii's youth, fostering discipline, respect, and resilience while building a strong, inclusive martial arts community across the islands.

Our Vision

A Hawaii where every young person has access to the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu — regardless of their background, income, or experience level.

Why We Exist

Many families cannot afford private martial arts training. We exist to remove financial barriers and ensure that every child who wants to train can step onto the mat and discover their potential.
