When I was looking for an instructor for my ten year old
son Hunter, Ronn's name rose to the top. Hunter and his
friend Avi Laird love the time they have with Ronn. Not
wanting them to have all the fun, i also started training. I
could not be more impressed with Ronn's Jiu-Jitsu skills
and his teaching style.

Ronn Shiraki is, hands down, one of the best
practitioners/instructors of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Hawaii.
His extensive background in Judo, Wrestling, and B.J.J.
shines through into his teaching methodology and
techniques making his school most certainly a Fighters'
Club T.V. pick!

Ronn Shiraki is a great Jiu-Jitsu Instructor who is very
passionate about Jiu-Jitsu and very good in passing on
the Jiu-Jitsu he has learned from the Gracie Family.






Gye Nitta
Head Instructor of New Hope Jiu-Jitsu
Ronn Shiraki is by far one of the most gifted Brazilian Jiu-
Jitsu instructors hands down. Either competing or
teaching, you will see a masterful blend of wind, water,
and fire combined with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
Thank you Ronn for sharing your love and knowledge of
this powerful martial-art.

Ronn embodies everything you look for in great teacher.
He is highly skilled, humble, and is a monster on the mat!







Ryan Tamashiro

Ronn Shiraki is a naturally gifted Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.
His sparring on the mat, Gi or no Gi can only be
described as genius.  As an instructor he is very
professional and meticulous in the teaching of
techniques.  I promise you that your Jiu-Jitsu game will
improve ten fold.  If you are just beginning there is no
place better to start.  This guy is the Bruce Lee of Jiu-
Jitsu.

Ronn and I trained countless hours together on the
Gracie competition team in Utah. He's not only a tough
competitor, but a talented and generous instructor. His
Jiu-Jitsu technique and experience can benefit grapplers
of any level.

Being a judge and referee at all major Jiu-Jitsu
tournaments I've long admired Ronn as one of the best
trainers I've seen.

I have been involved with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for the last
fifteen (15) years – competed in numerous tournaments
as well as sponsored a few of them – trained with all of
the Gracie Brothers and Professor Helio Gracie – was an
original investor in the Ultimate Fight with Rorion Gracie
– In addition, I have had extensive personal training with
Relson Gracie.  

Throughout all of these experiences and times, I can
make the statement with great respect that Ronn Shiraki
is the most competent and complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
instructor outside of the Gracie Family I have
encountered.  I watched him train the Kaneohe Team
kids to be so precise and exact with their techniques that
they became a “powerhouse” of winners in all of the
tournaments they entered.  Ronn has a great method for
teaching what I consider is true Gracie Jiu-Jitsu – “hard-
smart training with technique practiced over and over”.

I believe in Ronn’s ability so much that I have my son
train under him and ONLY with him.  

I recommend Ronn Shiraki’s private lessons for anyone
who is serious about learning and/or improving their
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Ronn Shiraki, first and foremost is one of the most
trustworthy and honest person I have had the privilege of
knowing.  As a Honolulu Police Officer, I was looking for
an instructor with superior credentials, but more
importantly an impeccable reputation.  Upon speaking
with the training staff from various the law enforcement
agencies (ie. FBI, DEA, HPD, Secret Service, Federal Air
Marshals, etc) one name continued to rise to the
top…Ronn Shiraki.

Ronn Shiraki’s love for Jiu-Jitsu is only outdone by his
passion and love for the Gracie Family.  This is evident in
his teaching style.  
I once heard Professor Relson
Gracie say…”I think Ronn was a Gracie in a former
life”.
 That, in itself sold me on training with this Jiu-Jitsu
phenom.

I would highly recommend private lessons with Ronn
Shiraki.

If I had to describe Ronn in one word, it would
be…
Phenomenal.

Best and most technical instructor I've ever trained with.

You know the saying, "People who can't do, teach."  Well,
Ronn Shiraki is the complete package.  He is the best
teacher of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu I have ever experienced and a
fierce competitor as well.  Ronn uses easy to understand
examples, while teaching complex technique.  Ronn
stands alone as a teacher because his teaching style as
well as his own Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique, flows and is
seamless.
