JIU-JITSU FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
SINCE 2003

WELCOME
Welcome to
Ohana Martial Arts
Since 2003, our mission has been simple: to provide a structured, respectful, and supportive training environment for those who value consistency, patience, and purposeful growth. As Lake County’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy, we’ve spent over 20 years building a culture rooted in discipline, mutual respect, and long-term development.
WHAT MAKES OHANA DIFFERENT?

No experience required. No athletic background needed. We specialize in taking complete beginners and building them safely from the ground up with clear instruction, repetition, and guidance every step of the way.

We provide a safe, controlled environment where families can share the journey of Jiu-Jitsu together. Training here is about connection and shared growth on and off the mats.

We believe students thrive in a clear, consistent system. We value detail, understanding, and clean fundamentals. Students are encouraged to ask questions, learn deeply, and develop real technical awareness, not just physical intensity.

Jiu-Jitsu is a lifelong practice. We emphasize controlled training, safe progression, and intelligent movement so students can train for decades, not months or seasons.
OHANA MEANS FAMILY
From first-time students to seasoned practitioners, we offer structured training designed for clarity, consistency, and lifelong practice.

SUCCESS STORIES
REAL RESULTS, REAL VOICES
No doubt one of the best decisions I have made was to come and train at this incredible and extremely fun and knowledgeable academy. Been training here around 10 years and still on the mats every chance I get.

Adult Jiu-Jitsu
I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now. Started off in the Friday women’s class and just joined the (coed) adult class. All the coaches are kind, helpful, and great teachers.
Sam K.
Adult Jiu-Jitsu
As a mom, I didn't see myself starting jiu-jitsu, especially since it is traditionally more male dominated sport, but Ohana has been incredibly welcoming and supportive! They offer adult classes at the same time as kid’s classes, which means my daughter and I can train at the same time.
