Masters Martial Arts School 270 Kuulei Road, Kailua, HI 96734

"Tonight was my second class of the Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I'm really loving it. I'm already feeling my body get stronger and more coordinated while also having fun. :) Nyza is great! He provides clear instructions and is very patient for those of us (like me) who might need to hear an instruction for a third time. ;) Also, the other students are really nice and you feel like you're surrounded by cheerleaders who want you to do really well. I cannot recommend this enough. Excited for my next class! :)"

"Great professor and instructor. Nyza has been in the game for a long time and is able to teach In detail each set up and move. My 2 boys go there and they love how he is and they feel comfortable. Every coach that helps out too is very patient with the kids and strives to help motivate and mold them to be better and learn."

"Wonderful environment that teaches confidence and respect! Leandro Nyza is an incredible teacher especially with the kids. My daughter has been attending classes for almost a year and loves it. I have two boys , 2years old and 4 months old and they will also be going when they are old enough."

"This is a great place for anyone who is interested in martial arts. I have been training Jiu Jitsu since 2008 and I have been through a lot of different academy's. Nyza is one of the best, as soon as you enter the gym he makes you feel like family. There is no ego in this gym he is very patient for the new students and makes sure you understand the moves, but also very technical for the more advanced students as well. I have my son going to the tumblers aswell and Nyza is super patient for the kids classes, he also integrates life lessons for the kids in being respectful and responsible. Nyza is constantly trying to be innovative for the gym thinking of new ideas on how to make the gym better. This is a great place to train by a elite practitioner. I recommend this place to anyone."

"One of the best instructors and trainers (of anything) I've come across. Very, very rarely will you find someone who is highly skilled, a world-class competitor AND can teach! Usually, it's those who can't do, teach. But Leandro Nyza can DO and he can TEACH. Super patient. Super detail oriented. Breaks things down to understandable chunks. Can go, in the same class, from teaching a brand new student to black belt student and both will benefit immensely. One of the best things about Nyza's teaching approach (honed over years and years) is that he doesn't OVER teach. When techniques become complicated he knows how when to push and when to step back on performance expectations. That's a serious skill. If you have kids he's equally patient, positive, and effective. I've seen him with 5 year olds patiently explaining the basics with as much enthusiasm as his first day as an instructor. He also insists you call him Nyza and avoids the honorifics some instructors require although he could easily claim and expect them. Can't recommend him and his school enough."
