DVG JIU JITSU 99-1324 Koaha Place, Aiea, HI 96701

"It’s taken me years to finally get into BJJ and I’m glad I chose DVG. DVG has a very welcoming and family oriented environment to learn jiu jitsu. The professors there are patient and attentive to each person on the mat. At any level, questions on skill and technique are answered with great detail and demonstrated immediately. The breakdown of competition as well as real world self defense scenarios are explained very well. I highly recommend DVG for those who are just beginning or seasoned. Im glad I’m on this journey with DVG and can’t wait to see where my growth takes me."

"One of the best BJJ gyms on Oahu. Not only will you get quality and professional training instruction but you’ll find yourself immersed in a community full of genuine individuals who care about you and your progression in the sport. A very welcoming and low threat gym that greatly balances the competition aspect of training (if that what you’re looking for) with the genuine art of proper self defense techniques. Coach Brandon and Coach Garrett both make this gym a safe space to train efficiently and train hard!"

"I want to start by saying it’s difficult to find a place that creates the family oriented kind of atmosphere that DVG has created. My husband & I absolutely loved training here. Professor Brandon, Professor Garrett & the coaches prioritize the safety of their students and are able to work with us honing on our strengths & weaknesses to make us better. There is a great sense of camaraderie in the classes where you are surrounded by teammates who want to see eachother succeed. It motivated us everyday and encouraged us to want to continue to attend classes. Whether you or your kids are brand new to BJJ or you’re a seasoned veteran we recommend you check out this academy and see for yourself the dedication & commitment the team has for their students, as do the students have for each other. Being part of DVG has left us feeling like we have a second family!"

"I’ve been here for a year and it’s been a crazy emotional and physical journey so far. BJJ is incredibly challenging so it’s important that you find somewhere you feel safe. DVG is that place for me. The professors are understanding and kind but they still push you to work harder. The community is strong and supportive. There’s someone for everyone to roll with here. We all have different personalities and styles but we’re all working toward similar goals together."

"Joining this academy saved my life. I was in a dark place and I didn't know what tp do with my life or what my future looked like. I was met with open arms and received so much support from the professors and staff. I was able to meet great people, challenge myself, and most of all forget about all the chaos outside and just have fun. I love this academy and the awesome people in it! UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER: As time goes on I've fallen more in love with this academy and everyone in it. I've found my tribe! My Jiu-jitsu sisters have become family both on and off the mats. I'm even more dedicated now to learn new techniques while drilling and practicing previously learned ones. If I could give DVG 1,000 stars I would and it still wouldn't amount to how much this academy and everyone in it has changed my life."
