History
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. Island Jiu-Jisu is now located at Puck's Alley in the University area.
