RONN SHIRAKI
Ronn Shiraki is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and the founder of RSA with over two decades of full-time teaching experience, having trained and competed directly under the legendary Grandmaster Relson Gracie. His style emphasizes pressure, precision, movement, and real-world effectiveness—deeply rooted in the Gracie methodology. Influenced by Professor Pedro Sauer, a Rickson Gracie Black Belt, Ronn blends technical fluidity with the precision and pressure of Relson’s time-tested approach. With Relson’s blessing, he founded the Ronn Shiraki Academy in 2002 and now teaches in Honolulu, where he has guided students to consistent success in IBJJF and local tournaments. Holding a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, Ronn brings a thoughtful, holistic approach to coaching—developing skilled martial artists and principled individuals through a culture of hard work, discipline, humility, and respect. He and his wife enjoy a happy marriage and live in Honolulu with their daughter and son.

Ronn Shiraki was tough in my Academy in Orem, Utah for a couple years. His skills as teacher and practitioner is the best as they came, his competition level is the best too. Anyone is lucky to have Ronn Shiraki as teacher and friend. I recommend Ronn for anyone. He is the nicest person you'll ever meet in your life." Ronn has been with my father ever since I can remember. He is a great example of Jiu-Jitsu. A very disciplined and dedicated man. He helped me a lot in my growth with Jiu-Jitsu and is one of my father's best representatives not just on the mat; but off the mat as well." |
