Coach Connor and Coach Matt have so much knowledge and patience they share with my boys! I am so impressed with the youth classes offered at Lohaki! My boys are always telling their family members and friends about much they enjoy Jiu Jitsu.
Great coaches, great facility and a great place to train solo or with your family!
One of the best places I have ever trained! Plenty of space, clean facilities, and some of the best leaders!
Great gym. Fun Sunday open mat.
Outstanding gym! The owners were intentional about everything in the gym, and it shows. Having trained martial arts at several gyms, this experience was second to none. Experience: The environment is incredibly welcoming. From high level black belts to new students everyone is there to learn, improve, and help the other members. Classes cover a wide range of material from fundamental tactics to advanced techniques, and Mr. J's leg lock class. Teaching: The instructors are all experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled at breaking down techniques at all levels. Lessons include demonstration, drilling, and some live situational rolling. Gym: Everything is well maintained and clean. The locker rooms are spacious and have showers. There's also a full gym with equipment for a wide variety of training. Overall: This gym covers everything. The only thing better than the great facilities and instruction is the people that run the facility and it's members.
Had the honor of getting to roll and lift weights here tonight! The nicest and cleanest jujutsu gym I’ve ever been to in my years of training. Great group of guys and everyone is very friendly! Thanks for having me!
Great Sunday experience. Open to everyone, all skill levels, regardless of gym affiliation. Truly just about BJJ. Highly recommend and look forward to next Sunday
If you are looking for a gym that feels like a family you have come to the right place! The coaching staff , team, and families involved in Lōkahi are some of the most genuinely kind and loving people you could ever meet. I have made life long friendships here, I found my career because of Lōkahi! The curriculum is well rounded and our coaches have each student in mind while instructing classes. Each week Lōkahi is open to the community no matter what gym, color, age, experience, everyone is welcome to come watch and participate it’s very cool! Every weekend is full! The amount of mat space is also unreal! As a student I’d like to thank each and every member for their support, encouragement, and dedication. Most importantly I would like to thank Coach Ryan he took in a prideful young dumb kid who thought he could out muscle and out grit everyone and showed me how combat sports are truly to be treated with dignity and an emphasis on technique Lōkahi is truly Ohana. MAHALOS FOREVER 🤙🏽❤️
Awesome gym with a great energy and atmosphere! Really felt welcomed right away by everybody I met instantly. Learned alot in the short time I was able to stop in, even in the advanced classes they where able to break it down in a way that even a child could understand some of the most complex transitions. Would recommend this gym to anybody visiting or living in Omaha, and definitely will be back some day!
Amazing atmosphere and community. My son learns here, and he loves it. I'm 47 years old and on the heavier side, and I would feel totally comfortable joining. Highly recommend A++
I travel quite a bit for work, so I get to train at alot of different gyms/academies. This is one of the best I've been to 100%. The step by step teaching style was awesome. The fundamental class and advanced classes were great and something that was right up my alley. I give it a 10/10, highly recommend coming if your traveling or live in the area. You won't regret it. Thank you guys.
If you want to test yourself as a human being and are looking for a challenge, Lōkahi is the way to go. As a college athlete looking for a challenge, JiuJitsu has been an incredible avenue to better myself. The instructor staff is welcoming, intelligent, and motivated. The people who train at Lōkahi are great too. Whether you’re young, old, inexperienced or experienced the staff at Lōkahi will guide you and teach you things that are applicable to your life. I couldn’t speak higher of my experience at Lōkahi!
World class jiu jitsu in Omaha, NE! This is such a great academy. Ryan is an excellent instructor and explains everything with such great detail. The school is very clean and everyone is very friendly.
Great facility and incredible instructors. Everyone is super encouraging and supportive.
I've trained at several other gyms and Lokahi is at the top of the list in regards to quality of instruction, cleanliness on the mats and bathrooms, friendliness of instructors and training partners, variety in schedule, and overall gym culture. It's been a very enjoyable experience since joining a few months ago.
I had no prior combat sports experience to starting the Foundations class at Lōkahi, but after one or two classes I was hooked. If you're like me and want to get into the sport without prior experience, I'd recommend coming in to try out a class! They work hard to create a welcoming environment for newbies to learn.
Best Jiu-Jitsu in omaha, must join if you are a competitive grappler!
I can't say enough good things about this place. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The vibe is incredible here. Great place to train!
I have been to Open Mat a couple times now to check out the gym. Ryan was very welcoming and helpful. Because I am new to the sport, I am not familiar with the technique that goes into jiu jitsu, and Ryan gave me some simplified cues that made a huge difference. Also, the individuals that have attended both days are all very nice people. The gym and bathroom are both very clean. They offer a great lifting area in the back with rogue equipment and some turf. I love the plants up front as well. I really enjoy the facility. Looking forward to attending more often!
This is the nicest gym I have been to in my 15 years of BJJ. Plenty of room to roll, the mats were clean and comfortable, the staff was welcoming, the members were friendly and great to roll with. Ryan Yamada is absolutely excellent as a coach and he will definitely help you become a better grappler. I highly, highly recommend it.
I can't say enough great things about Lokahi! From the moment I stepped onto the mat, I felt welcomed and supported by both the instructors and fellow students. The coaching staff is incredibly knowledgeable, with each instructor bringing their unique expertise and passion for jiu jitsu. They provide clear and concise instruction, making even complex techniques easy to understand. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, which creates the perfect environment for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. I've noticed significant improvements in my skills and confidence since joining, and I love the sense of community that exists here. The classes are well-structured, catering to various skill levels and focusing on both technique and sparring, ensuring that you get a balanced experience. Plus, the facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need. If you're looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu, whether for self-defense, fitness, or competition, Lokahi Jiu-Jitsu collective is the place to be! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in BJJ!
Lots of reasons to give this gym 5/5. To start, it’s very spacious, clean, and the equipment are in pristine condition. The coaches are patient, understanding, approachable, and very talented. You don’t always get that combination at other gyms so it’s a breath of fresh air to find it here. If you’re lookin to up your jujitsu training, Lokahi is perfect for you. The warm ups are insane, and the drills are even better. You know when you’re at a good gym when the very students take the initiative and clean up the gym after practice. All of that without being asked to. They gym owners always do events for us and it’s just a nice way to get to know each other and feel like a family. They have open mat available for anyone from any gym to train for FREE every Sunday. You won’t find that anywhere else. I think it speaks volume about how welcoming they are to the entire jujitsu community without having any rivalry over other gyms. Lastly, there is opportunity for advancement in the gym. Your skills and effort don’t go unnoticed. The coaches give students the opportunity to coach classes. They have ran them effectively, even when the main coaches have been out of the gym. It’s a lot of responsibility, but no one seems to mind since again, theres a strong family bond there. New comers integrate easily too, so it’s not like you’re ever left out. Definitely check it out!
Great place with awesome instructors, I came in as a complete beginner and felt very welcomed. The other students are eager to help teach, and definitely create an atmosphere for learning and safety. Despite never having been to any sort of martial arts gym, I felt like I was able to jump right in. Coach Ryan is amazing and will work with you to make sure you’re learning and progressing. Overall, a fantastic place with outstanding people. Highly recommend!
Best open mat in the area !
It’s not often you find a jiujitsu gym that’s a whole facility complete with locker rooms, clean showers, and a sick weight lifting area (via The Lab). More importantly, everyone is kind, instructors are detail oriented, and the atmosphere is excellent. I’ve trained at many gyms across the nation, and Lokahi is at the top of the list for its culture, facility amenities, and impeccable aesthetic. Stick around long enough and not only will your jiujitsu improve, but Coach Ryan might snag awesome pictures of you too 🙃
Lokahi is by far the best Jiu Jitsu gym in Omaha. It is extremely hard to find a place that teaches advanced technique while also maintaining a fun culture, but that is exactly what Lokahi is marked by! There is a variety of classes offered for people from any skill level! It is evident that the instructors of this gym have a genuine love for each person that steps on the mats, and that is clear by the way they encourage and challenge all of their students. You will never want to go to another gym after coming here!!
I recommend that you train here. Came here as a visitor for a Sunday open mat, was quickly greeted at the door and walked through how to sign up and the gym rules. Facility was very clean, staff was welcoming, mat etiquette was excellent. Rolls were fun and no one tried to break me too badly! Thank you to Ryan for the great experience.
This BJJ gym is absolutely amazing! Ryan took such great care of me and provided the BEST customer service!! He teaches very well and I feel like this is the perfect gym, especially if you're starting out and have no foundation. I'm a beginner and they make it very easy to pick things up and learn. It's a clean, spacious, beautiful facility. They have a lot of different classes they offer and great community! Couldn't recommend this gym enough!
If you’re looking for somewhere excellent to train and a great facility this is the place to go! Very clean, safe and friendly environment! All of the members were very welcoming and outgoing! We got to enjoy an awesome class by Ryan himself! Great experience over all!!!
Instructional, laid-back, and fun atmosphere that will positively change your life!!
I had the pleasure of training here during a joint function between Lokahi and LBJJC. The space is beautiful and the athletes and coaches were all fantastic people to roll and train with. Highly recommended!
I met my team up here for an open mat collaboration, and it couldn't have gone better. The facility is gorgeous and very clean, the instruction was top-notch and everyone was a friendly as their technique was tenacious. Great rolls and great people. One of the best gyms I've trained at for certain.
Awesome experience here. Coaches are great and classes are the real deal. This is my 3rd jiu jitsu gym and by far the best!! Give them a try you won’t be sorry!
Awesome people and a awesome place to train!
This is definitely one the top places to train in Omaha. It's a family friendly environment, but also has a great environment for those looking to compete at a high level. The gym features some of best equipment for strength and conditioning. The owners are both very kind and welcoming to anyone looking to return the sport and those who are young or new to the sport.
Outstanding place to train Jiu-Jitsu in Omaha. Lokahi Jiu-Jitsu has knowledgeable and strong instructors, a clean and spacious facility, and friendly yet competitive members! They also have showers, which is a must for anyone commuting. Even though I have a desk job, I get great training here. Lokahi Jiu-Jitsu is perfect for both competitive athletes and hobbyists!
Amazing gym, very friendly, and welcoming! Felt very comfortable and safe rolling. I was visiting from Texas. If this was closer to home, this would be the gym I would call home.
Beautiful, clean, and professional gym. So impressed
The best jiu-jitsu gym in Omaha,NE Amazing coaches and the cleanest gym in town 💪
Best jiujitsu gym in Nebraska!!
Great facility with a great atmosphere and community.
Dropped in from lincoln. Great group of people. Had fun roll. Will definitely be back.
I dropped in for an evening class from Lincoln, and was very impressed by the quality of the facilities. Ryan and the rest of his team have created a welcoming atmosphere, with many of the members taking the time to introduce themselves. The instruction was solid and easily digestible, this gym will be my recommendation to anyone in the Omaha area looking to learn jiu-jitsu.
I had a great experience dropping in for some classes at Lōkahi Jiu-Jitsu while in Omaha. Whether you reside in the area or are looking to get some time on the mats while away from home, you will surely not be dissapointed paying them a visit. The head instructor, Ryan Yamada, was very welcoming from the moment I reached out. His instruction is detailed and his students reflect his positivity and enthusiasm towards Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The facility itself is fantastic with top of the line weight equipment, clean showers, and plenty of open air. Overall, nothing but great things to say about the instructors, students, and gym itself.
Dropped in for an open mat and was welcomed with some friendly rounds. It’s an amazing space in which anyone would be lucky to train.
I have trained under Ryan and Nolan for about 3 years now and all I can say is they are amazing people. The culture they have created can't be topped. This facility is top tier and the curriculum the coaching staff has for the students is awesome. Come check it out!! Not to mention how friendly everyone is.
Can’t recommend LŌKAHI highly enough. Whenever I am in Omaha, i try to get in there to roll. That’s because I learn something new every time I’m there. This despite being a black belt who’s been in the game for over two decades.
An amazing environment with friends that make each other better each day!
Dropped in while traveling and was definitely not disappointed. Very welcoming group and a top notch facility. The class was very high energy with lots of good spirits to push each other. I will definitely be dropping back in the next time I’m in town.
I have been training BJJ for almost a decade and if I had to build the ideal facility this would be it for many reasons. 1. The facility was built from the ground up by jiujitsu enthusiasts for all skill levels to enjoy. There are showers and plenty of mat space for all to enjoy. Plus, they have partnered with The Lab to provide a one stop shop to get a pump and sharpen one's skills on the mat. 2. The location is easy to get to (close proximity to the major highway) and there is enough parking for a small army to assemble for morning and evening classes. 3. The coaching is world class! Each coach takes their time to expand on the small details that make a world of difference. The coaches are attentive and provide a learning environment where questions are welcomed not shunned. 4. The environment: This is the best part. When you walk in you become family. Everyone there is more than willing to ensure you have the best possible experience, while guiding you along in your journey. I found the best training partners here at Lokahi!
I may live in Colorado but whenever I am in Omaha, Lōkahi is my home! I have been training with professor Yamada and Campbell almost since the start of my jiu jitsu journey and have followed them in Omaha. I am beyond thrilled for them to have their own space in which they can institute their own means and methods for training! Every time I train Lōkahi, I walk away a more complete practitioner and always learn something new! No matter where you are in your jiu jitsu journey, Lōkahi has the practitioners and the instructors to amp up your game and help you reach that next level! Everyone is super accommodating and welcoming and always make me feel right at home whenever I train there! I cannot recommend Lōkahi highly enough! Check them out, you wont regret it!!
Lōkahi is a great gym with an awesome facility and culture. Ryan, one of the instructors, is welcoming and deliberate in his teaching. Their community open mats will ensure you get plenty of great rolls in! If you’re interested in jiu jitsu you definitely need to check Lōkahi out.
Great facility to practice jiu-jitsu in. Super clean and spacious with clean bathrooms and showers. Also a nice area to do workouts and strength training. Very knowledgeable and helpful instructors for any level of training and skill.
Came for the first time & we were very impressed! Ryan was incredibly nice and very helpful at check in. The facility is extremely clean & welcoming!
Awesome facility, friendly guys, and legit Jiu Jitsu. Definitely a place worth checking out.
Did a drop-in while visiting Omaha and was very impressed! Amazing facility with great mats, space, amenities, and welcoming training partners. Instruction from Ryan was fantastic. The lesson was thoughtful and detailed. Definitely recommend checking this place out to start/continue your BJJ journey or for a drop-in!
Great environment, great place
Best Jiujitsu gym in Nebraska.
I travel to Omaha for work regularly and am so glad to have found Lōkahi. Ryan was extremely accommodating and was there to answer any questions I had on and off the mats. Feeling welcomed in a new gym as a woman isn’t always the case but this team made my time there feel like home. The skillset, cleanliness and culture at Lōkahi are next level and I can’t wait to come back.
Super nice facility with a welcoming vibe. Everyone was nice and there were some good rolls at open mat. I like the culture that they bring and it is the type of place that you feel comfortable visiting. If you're looking for a dojo to join, give them a try. They have Gi and NoGi classes. Sunday open mats are from 10:30am to 12:00pm and the community is welcome. Thank you!💪🏽
Amazing mat space, fantastic instruction, solid diversity of belt ranks, and showers!!!! You can also get a combo gym training/lifting membership
By far the best place to train and learn the art of BJJ in the Midwest. The coaches are wonderful and always prompt to give you feedback or answers to any questions you may have. Very clean facility with a gym inside. The gym has all new equipment and a very qualified physical therapist that will work with you as well. The people who train at Lokahi are great people to train with and learn from. Nobody here is out to hurt, humiliate or leave you unsure of what the goals and plan is whenever training. When you choose this gym to learn the best martial art there is to learn, you will not be disappointed. Great job Lokahi Jiu Jitsu Collective✅
Dropping in from Austin, Professor Ryan has created an absolutely beautiful gym right in Omaha. Easily hails as one of the nicest and welcoming places I’ve ever visited. Without a doubt, best gym in Omaha. If you’re ever around, community open mats are on Sundays at 10:30!
Baller gym
I attended the community open mat today and it was nothing short of spectacular. The hospitality was second to none, tons of mat space and packed full of killers!! Also maybe the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen!! Definitely will be going back
Amazing environment, best gym in Omaha by far !
Really great gym first time here really loved it I will be back! Great community very positive and willing to help and teach. I would recommend this gym
Just started, and I am so impressed with the facility and coaching. Coach Ryan and Coach Nolan are amazing! Couldn’t recommend more.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting this jiu jitsu gym, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The facility itself is beautiful and impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment from the moment you step inside. The people here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. As someone who is older (I’m over 45) I was initially a bit intimidated, but that feeling quickly vanished. The presence of female practitioners also contributed to a sense of inclusivity and safety, making the experience even more enjoyable. Professor Nolan is fantastic. He brings a great vibe to the class, making learning both effective and fun. His teaching style is approachable and encouraging, which is perfect for practitioners of all levels. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in jiu jitsu. They offer a new beginner class through the week and whether you’re a first timer or have years of experience, you’ll find a supportive community and excellent instruction here.
Walking into this place and seeing the love and dedication the put into it has me not wanting to get sweaty there. It's so nice and well thought out you can tell they truly care about jiu jitsu and the people that walk in those doors Coaches are great, everyone is welcoming and there's not a cold shoulder in sight 11/10 experience Oh and there's showers. And clean facilities Big giant bonus
amazing facility, even better instructors
I travel for work, and it has given me the opportunity to travel across the country and experience several different gyms. lokahi is a truly special place second to none. the facility is top notch. shower and locker room for men and women. amazing mat space, you won't be running into each other here. also has a amazing strength and conditioning facility, turf and all the equipment you need. the real special thing about this building is the people inside.the vibe here is the most amazing energy I have been a part of across the nation. you'll be welcome as soon as you walk in the door, and there is a vast level of experience. so no matter if this is your first time on the mats, or you been training for decades this is the place for you. world class instructors both gi and no gi. there also a good range of training partners. truly found a home here.
Great coaches, great space, and great training partners!
This place is incredible: massive mat space, free-weight gym, showers, locker rooms, and tons of high level grapplers. Gi, NoGi, and people working hard to get more technical every day. Coaches and class structure create a perfect learning environment. Drop in to a class or open mat if you are coming from out of town!
You won't find a gym that cares more about community and the well-being of their students then Lōkahi. Top tier instructor who are patient and passionate about BJJ. If you are just starting or a seasoned vet, Lōkahi is the place for you to grow.
Very welcoming environment with a top notch clean and professional looking facility. Fantastic instructors who break down things into understandable movements and provide support to students to increase understanding.
Great group of instructors / facility. Full of humble and formidable training partners! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to challenge themselves and be physically competitive again!
Jiu-jitsu paired with the right culture becomes addictive. Lokahi offers a great culture and quality teaching that makes you want to attend as many classes as your schedule permits. Whether you attend a 6am class like myself or an evening class, you will feel welcomed and not fear injury. The training partners are great people on and off the mats. Also, if competitions are not your thing and just want to treat this as a hobby, you are in the right spot because you will not be pressured to do competitions. Give the gym a shot and see for yourself.
Instruction here is top notch! Coaches Nolan, Guy and Ryan have all been incredibly receptive to any questions I’ve had and have helped me start my jiu-jitsu journey! The facility is also great, with plenty of mat space. I don’t have to worry about crashing into another roll anymore!! They also have a weight training program and space, showers and locker rooms for men and women…what more could you need?
I started my Jiu-Jitsu journey almost 15 years ago and have traveled the country training and coaching. I can confidently assert that Lokahi is a direct reflection of its high-quality instructors and community. Additionally, Lokahi is a gym saturated with highly competent and qualified instructors who draw from various backgrounds and training methodologies, enabling anyone, regardless of their skill level, to grow into better Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and people. Lastly, you won't find a gym with a comparable facility in the area.
I have trained with Coach Samantha, even competed against her! It's wonderful to see her thriving in a healthy gym environment. She’s an incredible addition to this gym. Excited to plan a visit!
I have been training with Ryan and Nolan, the two head instructors, for three years now. Excellent instruction and a great community atmosphere is what you can expect. And you will get top notch instruction and training in gi and no gi. The Lokahi facility is the nicest jiu jitsu facility I have been in during my 8 years of training. I highly recommend!
This gym has the best instructors possible, amazing facility and tons of mat space.
It’s a pretty cool place with some pretty cool people! But I’m a little biased….
I train out of Ohio but I know the people at this gym are extremely caring about their training partners and making Jiu Jitsu fun. Hopefully I can get out there soon.
Can’t say enough good things about this place! Very knowledgeable and experienced instructors, welcoming community, fun atmosphere, clean and super nice facility. Everyone at the gym cares about my progress and pushes me. Whether you’re new to Jiu Jitsu or experienced, Lōkahi is where you need to be training.
