Gracie Allegiance Honolulu

About this gym

Gracie Allegiance Honolulu provides a safe, friendly atmosphere to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense techniques from experienced instructors in the Ala Moana area of Honolulu. Head Instructor Mike Chu's system of teaching helps beginners learn the fundamentals and become comfortable with the art of jiu-jitsu before rolling (sparring) with more experienced students. The school focuses on helping brand new people learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense, and No-Gi grappling, emphasizing learning over winning and leaving high-intensity rolling for tournaments only. For new students, sparring is delayed for the first few weeks so students can build a solid understanding of fundamental escapes and defenses before rolling. The school also runs a dedicated Women's BJJ Program that pairs new female students with senior female students and prioritizes a comfortable, self-paced introduction to the art. The program is under the direct tutelage of Professor Clark Gracie, grandson of Carlos Gracie (co-founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). Head Instructor Mike Chu earned his Black Belt from Professor Clark Gracie in January 2023 and teaches full-time, 5-6 days a week; Judo Instructor Jordan Fontanilla, a 2004 Hawaii Judo Champion, also contributes to the standing/Judo game.
