About Us

 At Kahala Jiu-Jitsu, we believe in shaping lives, not just fighters. As Hawaii’s first and only female-owned and operated BJJ school, led by Professor Daynin Dashefsky, our mission goes beyond the mats. "We are a Life School, Not a Fight School." Here, Jiu-Jitsu is a tool for personal growth, confidence, discipline, and resilience—skills that extend far beyond training. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you'll find a supportive community where you can develop not only your technique but also your character. Join us and experience Jiu-Jitsu as a journey of empowerment, self-improvement, and lifelong learning!
