RSA will be closed in remembrance of our fallen. To all of our men and women in the armed forces, thank you.  Hawaii's longest running BJJ organization for competition - now partnered with Rickson Gracie and the Jiu-Jitsu Global Federation - will hold their next tournament starting on June 11. The JJGF is fast becoming the new standard in fusing sport Jiu-Jitsu and reality based martial arts. Ramp up training now.  Founded by Rickson Gracie  Best of the Best For those wanting to take their art to the next level, we highly recommend the Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. Main points include the idea that all humans possess the ability to gain mastery in a specific activity regardless of genetic inheritance. The core concepts include deep practice and increasing myelin through repetition: the key to mastery. Great read.   Diagram of theory Kalani helping the guys after class. RSA upper belts are encouraged to help the lower belts learn and feel welcomed. Great mentors aren't perfect but strive to be better every day and pass on knowledge.   Please wear a clean Gi every time you come to class. Training Jiu-Jitsu in Hawaii's humid climate can increase the growth of bacteria and fungus: pathogens that love damp and sweaty Gi fabric. Plus it smells bad.  Yes Thursday Jiu-Jitsu daytime classes are back in full gear: Ronn, AJ, Shane, Carter, Kalani, Bob, Benel, Conner, Mike, Kibo, and Nick.  Day Many of the photos that you see on the RSA website are by Steve Decker. If anyone is in need of a professional photographer that resides in the Honolulu area who has both a keen eye for beauty and an easy to work with attitude, we highly recommend that you give him a call.
