September 2024 | Episode #6
Team LŌKAHI began the month of September celebrating our 100th member with a ‘Burrito Roll’, an open mat followed by breakfast burritos! Having crossed this threshold as a new small business, we never could have imagined the ride we’d be on. Through the support of our members, we look forward to expanding class offerings, providing opportunities for new instructors, and maintaining our commitment to spreading Jiu-Jitsu within the Omaha community.
“This is definitely one the top places to train in Omaha. It’s a family friendly environment, but also has a great environment for those looking to compete at a high level. The gym features some of best equipment for strength and conditioning. The owners are both very kind and welcoming to anyone looking to return the sport and those who are young or new to the sport.

LincolnBJJ x LŌKAHI WORKSHOP
At LŌKAHI, we believe that a variety of perspectives is necessary for the development of our students and athletes. Whereas some schools have policies or stigmas against cross-training, we do our best to encourage and facilitate it. Last month we had the privilege in hosting our first joint training session with our friends from Lincoln Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. The workshop started with Black Belts Jerad Downs and Ryan Yamada showcased concepts and techniques that each team had been working followed by an afternoon of open rolls. We appreciate the LBJJ team for making the drive to support this fun event and look forward to more of these great community-building events to come.
Member Spotlight
It’s our pleasure to feature JASON BARTHOLOMEW!
Unassuming as they come, “Mr. J” has been crafting his skills for well over a decade. Without his glasses, Mr. J’s poor eyesight leaves some to wonder about his aimless gaze and slight drool. Brain scans show that he often daydreams about his next toehold or Sourdough starter.
Is your leg game lacking?
We’re glad to announce the addition of a new class offering! Join Mr. J each SUNDAY MORNINGS at 9AM for his Leglock Fundamentals class, where you’ll explore different positions, submissions, and other important leglock strategies.
