Hawaii Judo Academy hosted the training course I took. It is a spacious facility that is well maintained, though the ceiling on the lower level was definitely designed for judo and ground work. If you're 6" tall, be careful of hitting the ceiling if you're doing Ludo sport sabers like I was. Upper level has a much higher ceiling, but traps heat during the day. An absolutely amazing venue as long as you're aware of what it is designed for, which is Judo.

Excellent class I really had a great time and will be returning! Jiu Jitsu was really what I was here for but they offer judo classes and classes for young folks. If you see everyone gathered drop by!
Hawaii Judo Academy is amazing!! Sensei Joel was very kind and helpful in helping us do a drop in class while we were in Oahu. He made sure to figure out a time and date that worked for my kiddos. While we were there Sensei Brandon was a wonderful sensei who fought the kids. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are local.. and if you are traveling and need to keep up on your judo contact Joel!
