Having trained at CJJF for the last three weeks I can see why they call it a family. Professor Aldo has created an incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming culture that has trickled down to every single professor, coach, and student I have encountered.

Today (08/09/22), I earned my blue belt from the great Aldo Caveirinha at CJJF, and I am so happy that a friend of mine recommended CJJF for my training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu long ago. This organization is family-oriented, meaning CJJF puts their family, loved ones, students, and staff at the core of their priorities.

I’m a black belt visiting from the Bay Area, and I always make time to train at CJJS Hawaii Kai when I’m on Oahu visiting family. I’m so happy there’s a solid jiu jitsu gym right in Hawaii Kai—it really makes my trips even better.

★★★★★ — Dj, Jul 2025

So far we went in to witness a class, but Im blown away! Not only did they make us feel at home, but they included both of my sons in a few activities and bonded with them too. My sons are excited for their first class.

Your first muay thai class at CJJF Hawaii Kai

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
