Great Gi's, love the quality and fabric. Jaspers designs are awesome, they are pricier but I think the cost is worth the quality. The people are very nice when we met them at the kiosks at IBJJF worlds.

Nice jiu jitsu / surf influenced apparel store. One of the co owners Duke was in the store while i was shopping and he was really nice and hospitable. He even provided us the local recommendations on activities we were planning to do for the rest of our vacation. There was a lot of different clothing options to choose from and was very happy with my purchases. Didn't get to roll on their mats, but next time im in Honolulu, im going to make an attempt to do so. Their new store shares the same parking lot as F45 gym. So it can be missed, but it's right next door to the F45.

This is by far the best customer service and vibe I've experienced in any retail store. These guys go above and beyond to take care of their customers and treat them like a friend. I was blown away by my experience. I ended chatting with the folks here for a few hours talking about Jiu Jitsu and life in Hawaii. Their gear is high quality and they have great designs. If you're ever on Oahu I recommend stopping by for BJJ gear, a chat, and even a BJJ open mat.

Simply the best! A year ago I reached out to Kekoa Collective inquiring about their STR backpack series over Instagram. I am a traveling videographer and freestyle cliff diver and can never find a backpack that truly "does it all". I immediately fell in love with the STR bag! It's durable, incredibly well designed, comfortable to wear fully loaded for hours AND comes with a waterproof insert for my camera gear - SOLD!! This has been my main carry-on backpack filming in over 10 countries and it still impresses me!I was so stoked on the backpack that I continued to work with Kekoa online through my film and photography business. All of their bags and clothing are top-tier quality and made to last. They are always a pleasure to work with and I was over the top excited when work brought me to their island of Oahu.I have never met a more welcoming, enthusiastic, community-focused brand ever! I went to their storefront for an open lunch and was immediately greeted by the owners and community members. I made so many friends and Jeff and Clifton even spent over an hour teaching me to roll on the Jiu-Jitsu mats. Everyone I talked to had fun stories to share and I literally booked a second flight back to Oahu just to hang out with them all again. This isn't a business, this is a family that also sells top-tier adventure gear and clothing. 1000% if you have the time, just stop by and say hi! I highly recommend dropping in for one of their classes or sessions, I wish I could go all the time! You'll meet amazing people.

The aloha spirit is alive and well here. As we walked in we were immediately greeted by the owner who was in the middle of something, and just full on good vibes already. Im really big on staff acknowledging customers, especially with aloha. Little Small talk and he let us do our thing toLook around and pick out some threads. Inside is spacious and well stocked. I like the lifestyle clothes they sell here for a number of reasons, support local, the owners are super nice, the quality and designs are killer, and it fits my style. I surf and train so bingo! Left with 5 shirts some free stickers and the owner Dewey threw in a free shirt for my little boy because he trains too, his words were " i want to give this to him, to encourage training its good for them". What a guy!!!! Anyways 5 stars and ill be back. Yewwwwww

Dewey, Jeff, Clifton, you guys are amazing!!! Keep doing what you're doing, and never stop. It is always our pleasure when we come back to Hawaii to stop by and talk story, train, and just hang out. We love Kekoa's vibe. It's hard to see why anyone would give anything but 5 stars for this place. If they truly knew what you guys stood for, 5 stars isn't enough.

Super sick spot next to Hana Koa. Dewey and Clifton were more than welcoming and they are amazing dudes, they made me feel like we were longtime friends even though I met them for the first time. They will always have my support!Full story, I wanted to start doing Jiu Jitsu but I don't have any friends that practice, so I was looking for recommendations around town for a school to start at. I came across Kekoa so I thought it'd be a good place to swing by and talk story. Dewey greeted me immediately like I was a friend and when I told him I was looking to start doing Jiu Jitsu, he was encouraging me to start and immediately texted me a few schools where I could start at. He went above and beyond, he even offered to take me to one of the places he recommended himself so I wouldn't feel intimidated going on my own. He had to run after that but he encouraged me to text him if I wanted to go to a beginner class with him. I picked up a shirt and I was talking story with Clifton a little bit after that and he was telling me about their open mat. He invited me to come by anytime to either practice or to just cruise and talk story. Even though I was just starting out, he encouraged me to always come by if I wanted to learn something new or practice whatever I was working on. I took my first class later on that night at one of the places they recommended and am now hooked and super stoked. I cannot thank these two enough for being so welcoming and helpful to introduce me to Jiu Jitsu. I will always be grateful and will support these folks whenever I can, they truly deserve it 100%.

This is a review for yoga. Walked by this place a few days ago and saw the donation-yoga sign. They have a decent space upstairs so thought I'd come back to check it out a few days later as their website showed a 630p Wednesday class. Showed up 10 minutes early. Friendly attendant let me use the dressing room to change. Went upstairs - empty. Hung out for a few minutes and checked out their prop selection (ample blocks and straps - decent quality) which was nice, still nobody. Went down and looked at the sign ... hmmm ... doesn't show a Wednesday eve class. Checked the website - completely different schedule from the sign. Asked the guy in the store and he didn't know. Said the sign hasn't been update for a while (as demonstrated by not being able to rub off the dates and times) so he said website is probably what to go by. He did try contacting some people but to no avail. The guy was apologetic and offered the space for me to use on my own. Luckily I do enough yoga that I don't get too wound up about a scheduling mixup, but really, if your website has a section dedicated to your yoga classes, please have the right schedule posted

I love everything about this company. They have a decent selection of surf accessories, simple and classy clothing line, a small studio for jiu jitsu and yoga classes, and a couch, coffee table and TV for just lounging around. Their motto is mindful living, and you can see it in every aspect of the company.They recently closed this location and will be re-opening in August in Ward Centre near Best Buy. Will update this review when they re-open!

Very inviting and was a great stop in. Great customer service, very helpful in finding the right selection of attire and helping find the right size. ABOVE AND BEYOND! Offered open mat time as well which was very kind. Really, was an outstanding experience and their products are top notch as well. Great quality. Great value. I bought in store which was a breeze and have now ordered online which was streamlined and simple as well. Kekoa is all an around excellent stop for your jiu jitsu needs!
