Both our kids go and have the best time - the coaches are skilled, friendly, and patient. There are lots of different class times. I highly recommend checking it out.

I have trained at Lolakana for quite a while now. Lindsay and Zach are incredible coaches, and they’re always kind to me. They teach techniques that just work, and are practical for the sport of jiu jitsu and for self defence in general. They both always take the extra time to answer any questions I have. Nolan is a great owner, and is always a great roll and person to talk to. All the members are very inviting, considerate and fun. I feel very welcome and comfortable here. They also let me bring my dog in to hang out while I train, and everyone treats him so well. It’s a wonderful place to train.

My friend took me here to do some jiu jitsu with her so we could hang out before I move, and it was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming and kind. The instructions were easy to follow and I wish I could stay and continue learning here.

So grateful for the team at Lolakana and their ongoing commitment to sharing the beauty of BJJ, kickboxing and MMA. My husband and son train there regularly and they love it so much that they encouraged me to join. As a beginner, I was nervous to try at first, but the coaches are super helpful and knowledgeable. I quickly got over my nerves and now make Lolakana a part of my weekly workout routine three times a week. It’s a great community of people and super supportive.

Our whole family,my 6-year-old, my 13-year-old, and me at 36 just started our BJJ journey here, and we’ve really been enjoying it. The kids’ class is so much fun. There are lots of games mixed with techniques, which makes it easy for my little one to learn and stay engaged. For my teenage son, BJJ has been amazing. He’s been coming consistently for more than 6 months, and I’ve seen so much growth in his technique and confidence. He never really liked any of the sports I tried to introduce him to before, but BJJ turned out to be his thing. Huge thanks to the coaches for making that happen. As for me, starting BJJ as a woman with absolutely no experience was a little intimidating. But the gym and coaches have been so supportive and welcoming. They really know how to teach people who know nothing and make everyone feel comfortable. I especially like how they pay attention to the little details when teaching. It helps me understand better, feel less nervous, and actually enjoy the process. We’re very happy to be part of this gym and excited to keep learning.

Lolakana has been such a great experience for our family. I’m a mom of two kids (7 and 12) who train there, and I’ve started training as well. The coaches are incredibly patient with the kids and create a really positive environment where everyone feels supported. My kids have learned so much and their confidence has grown a lot since starting. I also really appreciate how family-friendly the gym is. The parent-and-kids classes are a highlight for us, and the women’s-only pop-up classes are such a great addition that make the space feel welcoming for women. It’s a wonderful community and a great place for families to train together.

Love love love! This rad place is new and the owners and coaches have skill, tons of personality, professionalism, and make it feel like a real community! I do the jiu jitsu classes as well as the occasional kickboxing class. Skills are taught clearly and I always feel safe. 👊🏼💥🤩

My daughter and I have trained BJJ for over 10 years. We both now train at Lolakana and love it. The instructors are great and have been teaching great technique as well as following it up by answering any questions we have. There is a great community growing there and she feels very safe and supported as she continues to learn this amazing sport. I highly recommend anyone looking to find a great place to safely train in Victoria come in to this gym, you won’t regret it.

Recently tried a class for beginners and loved it. As a women I was nervous trying a Ju Jitzu/Kickboxing studio as I have never done anything like it, but everyone was super welcoming and kind. 10/10 classes and atmosphere.
