Exodus Martial Arts Academy

I’ve been training for almost 4 years. I have been to a lot of gyms and most of them are very nice and welcoming. Exodus MAA is an entirely different level of friendly customer service and gratitude like no other. Professor Jason Tanaka is unbelievable and his knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is as elegant as you can find anywhere in the world. They greeted me and shook my hand as soon as I walked through the door. They ask me about my self and care about my experience level and why I chose to train with them. Every single person in their academy is friendly and heartwarming. If you are looking for the best possible experience to learn Brazilian Jiu jitsu as a beginner or a seasoned practitioner I assure you there is not a better place to go. Thank you Exodus for everything

Great place to train. Very responsive and welcoming. Outstanding rolls. In town for a week or so and wanted to get a few rolls in while in Kona. Clean mats, aloha spirit, great rolls and chill vibes. Couldn’t ask for more. Check it out.

I trained here during my brief stay in Kona and absolutely loved the gym's vibe and the people I met. The atmosphere was welcoming, with friendly teammates and a strong sense of community. Jay genuinely cared about everyone’s safety on the mat and offered insightful advice on improving as both a jiu-jitsu practitioner and wrestler. Highly recommend training here!

Exodus is a top-tier jiu-jitsu gym, boasting exceptional skills and a warm, welcoming environment. Professor Jason and Coach Gretchen are not only experts in their field but also incredibly kind, making it easier to navigate the world of jiu-jitsu. I was initially hesitant to join, but after speaking with Coach Gretchen, I felt encouraged to give it a try. Two years into my jiu-jitsu journey, I’m amazed at how much confidence and discipline it has brought into my life. If you're searching for a gym or just visiting, Exodus is the place to discover your Ohana.
