The Hook

Ever stepped onto soft mats, barefoot, while the trade winds hush the palms outside? That first bow in, the room goes quiet, and your breath slows. This ongoing adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class at Kalani feels like a reset button for body and mind. Come this week, or make it your new Tuesday ritual.

What to Expect

You’ll warm up with core movements—shrimping, breakfalls, hip escapes—then learn practical grips and escapes that actually work off the mats. Jack and Caleb keep the vibe friendly and focused, so you’ll sweat, smile, and leave sharper than you arrived. The Blue Moon Room has that mellow Kalani energy. You’ll hear soft instructions, the squeak of mats, and that satisfying slap when a good breakfall lands. Technique over muscle, respect over ego.

The People

This class is guided by Jack and Caleb, patient instructors who love fundamentals. They meet you where you’re at—brand new or years on the mats—and build confidence step by step. Kalani Oceanside’s community brings the ʻohana feel. Folks look out for each other, drills are safe, and tapping early is celebrated.
