Been an amazing journey so far! Thats coming from an (almost) 30 year old beginner with ZERO martial arts experience. Initially picked up BJJ as a means to stay fit and a new hobby. Got adopted to an extended family instead. Professor Erik Magrinho Alvez is the best instructor you can ask for. Hes approachable, extremely technical, and most importantly--accessible. Gym is in easy-to-find air-conditioned location, with plenty parking, good clean mats, tidy bathroom. Classmates are friendly, helpful, and just as hungry to learn. This is the perfect place to learn about this beautiful sport. If you are looking for a more intimate class size with plenty one-on-one opportunities with the professor, this is the place for you. If you arent sure, allow us two free weeks worth of classes to change your mind. Bring plenty of water, workout clothes, and we provide the rest. Hope to see you soon!
So youve been putting off getting in the best shape of your life and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Maybe its because youre not sure which school is right for you. Well, as someone who has been training at this school since July of 2018 in Jiu Jitsu and boxing, I am totally hooked for life. Ive trained at a handful of schools in Honolulu and I finally found the perfect one. The schools founder and primary instructor Professor Erik Magrinho Alvez and the other instructors here have an approach that is very demanding, yet fun and engaging and totally addictive. Most importantly I found a school with an awesome vibe. Professor Magrinho has managed to attract a team of dedicated and quality students that challenges and supports one another like family. So drop in and finally start training like youve been wanting. When you come for your first class, you will be so happy you did. You can thank me later.
This organization is phenomenal! I have watched my grandson grow from a shy cautious little boy to a confident, young boy with strength and self control but with a caring, compassionate sense of self. The teachers are more than instructors. They are mentors who work hard to instill confidence with a strong set of ethics in developing mindfulness of what the body and brain can do together. Never would I have imagined that this is possible through this discipline with children this age! I highly recommend this center and these people.
Great school lots of love involved in the class, Erik Magrinho Is great with the kids, have 2 of my daughters training for the last 4 years, then love Jiu - Jitsu, great instructorss, good parking go check out you won’t regretAloha Team Magrinho
Perfect for beginner kids. Perfect also for after school- kindergarten activity - and if you have kids at different ages but trying to find something for both of them. Develop leadership, team building, coordination.
Ive been training with magrinho for 11 years, and the technique he shares to both kids and adults is unbelievable!! He is such an amazing person and instructor, you need to come by and check it out for yourself!! OSS
Eric is a great sensei and takes an interest in every fighter in the dojo regardless of age, gender or skill level. We are so happy to be a part of CS Jiu Jitsu.
