Vibe
Leos Jiu Jitsu Academy is one of the most welcoming places to train in Okinawa. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and beginner friendly while still offering solid technical instruction for anyone who wants to improve. I have trained with both Professor Myke and Professor Andy and I recommend them both. They are patient, knowledgeable, and create a positive environment on the mats.
Whether you are brand new to jiu jitsu or just dropping in while visiting Okinawa, this academy makes it easy to feel comfortable and included.

My Experience
Every time I have trained at Leos Jiu Jitsu Academy it has been a great experience. The vibe is light, friendly, and community focused. Myke and Andy both bring a positive energy to the room and the students follow that lead. Everyone is respectful, welcoming, and fun to train with.
Both Myke and Andy are very skilled black belts and they do an excellent job of adjusting the level of challenge based on who they are working with. No matter what your experience level is, they will make sure you are learning, improving, and getting rounds that push you in the right way.
It is the kind of place where beginners feel comfortable, visitors feel included, and everyone gets good rounds in. If you are in Okinawa and want a solid place to train, Leos Jiu Jitsu Academy is definitely worth checking out.
