Details: BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense.[2] Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system. Since its inception in 1914, its parent art of Judo was separated from older systems of Japanese ju-jitsu by an important difference that was passed on to Brazilian jiu-jitsu: it is not solely a martial art: it is also a sport; a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people; and, ultimately, a way (Do) of life

Details: Shane Nakagawara and Justin Nihei have been friends for many years. They both share a deep love and faith in God, a commitment to spend time with family and friends, and a passion for sports and the martial arts. As a matter of fact, their priorities in life just happen to be in that order. But despite attending weekly services, spending time with their loved ones and partaking in sport activities that they enjoy, they both individually felt they had a calling to do more. They each wanted to serve the Lord, but they weren’t quite sure how to go about doing it. After much prayer and contemplation, it was revealed to them that the best way to minister their faith was to continue an earlier program founded by Gye Nitta. It was called New Hope Jiu-Jitsu. Their heart was to create an environment that would incorporate all the things that they loved to do and utilize their talents to glorify the Lord. As members of the Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu organization, both Shane and Justin felt that the perfect way to help other Christians build value and character was through a sport they loved...and thus the New Hope Jiu-Jitsu Ministry Oahu 2.0 was formed.
