Lokahi Jiu Jitsu

Lokahi Jiu Jitsu in Temecula is known for being a family-focused academy with a personal touch, led by owner and head instructor Rudy Galima. Rudy’s journey in martial arts spans nearly twenty years, including a background in Judo and service in the Marines. After his time in the military, he opened Lokahi in 2022 with the goal of bringing unity, harmony, and balance—values reflected in the academy’s Hawaiian name—to the local jiu jitsu scene. Classes at Lokahi are structured to give students plenty of hands-on instruction, with smaller class sizes that allow for more one-on-one guidance. The program covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, welcoming adults and kids alike. For younger students, there are dedicated classes like Mini Champs, Junior Champs, and Kids Advance, as well as after-school options and a partnership with local charter schools. Adults can train in all-levels gi and no-gi sessions, and there are intermediate and advanced options for those looking to push their skills further. Teens have their own advanced class, bridging the gap between youth and adult training. Lokahi puts a strong emphasis on steady progress, encouraging everyone to get a little better each day. The academy is open to drop-ins, making it accessible to travelers or local grapplers from nearby areas like Murrieta and Wildomar. With a focus on individualized coaching and a practical approach to both self-defense and fitness, Lokahi Jiu Jitsu offers a straightforward path for families and new students looking to build a solid foundation in BJJ.
