This is a 2 part review for myself and my 6 year old daughter. Joe has been our coach for about 3 months now. As a person Joe is friendly, present to everyone in his gym, and most importantly he's genuine. As a coach you can see his decades of experience in BJJ in action on the mat. He is extremely detailed in technique, sees all the counters, and treats it like a chess game. Joe's classes are well thought out as the drillng are connected through multiple days. If you're a newbie, looking to move gyms (like I did), or seasoned in search for upper belts to spar with - choose Kainga.
For my daughter it was rough leaving her first coach and all the little friends. She gets challenged with Joe though in fitness, discipline, and accountability that I want her to get out of a self defense class. Joe has displayed patience in her original push back to participate. He listened to my input to help her feel comfortable which I appreciate as a parent. Adult members regularly assist on the mat to provide extra support in lessons and assure the kids train safely. She now looks forward to going to class, has fun, and learns the applicable basics she can apply if she's ever bullied at school.
The gym and its members provide a great environment. Competitive rolls or you can communicate to take it easy. Egos are left at the door and all upper belts enjoy offering tips. Regularly members hang out after class is done, strenghtening the gym comradery. Mats are cleaned throughout the day. For your budget - monthly fees are fair, no registration fee/ in house gi requirement, and the quality/ amount of classes available make it worth what you pay. This gym is definitely NOT A MONEY GRAB and all about learning, competition, and a safe environment.
*** 1 year edit: Kainga is proven to be a family oriented gym. Welcoming parents that want to train with their young ones during the day and into the evening. Where the kids feel safe and comfortable.
Training at Kainga has been an incredible experience for the whole family. Love the versatility of classes 7 days a week. Instructors and higher belts are all top tier and helpful... Great vibes and culture too !

Kainga Jiu Jitsu is outstanding! The community is welcoming, the instructors are top-notch, and the impact on fitness and confidence is remarkable. It's more than a gym; it's a family where everyone grows together. Absolutely deserves a 5-star rating!
It an amazing place for kids, they have well trained instructors and focus on techniques and development so much, there's a huge sense of community and friendship among the classmates, no matter the experience level everyone feels welcome, as for adults you can learn from all the coaches and classmates along, there's an amazing good vibe going on at this place!!! Highly recommended!
I love my gym, the people my teammates. It's a perfect environment to learn and train. No big headed Egos Here. We all work together and help each other grow. It really is a Kainga Here. If you didn't Know, Kainga means Family in Tongan.
El profesor es muy PRO y buena persona mas que todo!
La academia esta bonito y limpia,
LOS COMPAÑEROS SON MUY AGRADABLES!
EXCELENTE LUGAR PARA ENTRENAR JIUJITSU
Great atmosphere and people. I leave here with more energy than when I get there. Highly recommend. I’ve hopped around gyms got injured. And finally found a gym I can call home and enjoy the process.
