History

Established in 2012.

Jason Vigil, Owner/​Coach

Jason quickly discovered his passion for teaching, and began teaching his friends in his garage in 2004. Island Jiu-​Jitsu was formed in 2010 in the backyard of a home in Hawaii Kai as a jiu-​jitsu club.

In 2012, after the birth of his first daughter, Jason decided to open a formal jiu-​jitsu school, subleasing in various locations in Honolulu, Hawaii. Jason received his Black Belt in 2013 from Jason Izaguirre (Owner/​Coach of Gracie Jiu-​Jitsu Kailua).

In 2015, Jason’s dream of opening his own dojo came true; as well as his dream of becoming a RVCA dojo. Island Jiu-​Jisu is now located at Puck’s Alley in the University area. Island Jiu-​Jitsu is currently the only dojo in Hawaii that is sponsored by RVCA and authorized to sell RVCA apparel, gear, and sports items.
