BJJ Academies in Hawaii.

Hawaii is the U.S.'s most Relson Gracie–anchored BJJ state. The state's affiliate map is dense with Relson lineage academies.

Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Team HK at 1712 S King St (Floor 2) in Honolulu is led by Todd Tanaka — a 6th-degree black belt — and is described as the only Honolulu academy certified to teach both Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the Gracie Academy's Combatives and Bullyproof programs. Relson Gracie / Ronn Shiraki Academy (RSA) sits at 737 Kapahulu Ave at the top of Kapahulu. Team Papakolea Jiu-Jitsu (TPJJ) was founded January 5, 2005 under Grandmaster Relson Gracie, led by 6th-degree black belt Coach Kaleo Auwae, with two locations in Papakolea and Kakaʻako. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Hawaii (Technics Martial Arts) carries the Pedro Sauer affiliation in Honolulu.
