Head Instructor, Kayle Quinn, is a third degree black belt who has trained under Grand Master Relson Gracie for over 18 years. Relson is the 2nd oldest son of Grandmaster Helio Gracie, the creator of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Starting his training at age 2 and winning his first tournament at age 10, Relson earned the nickname "Campeo" meaning Champion. He taught for many years at the Gracie Academy in Rio De Janeiro before moving to Honolulu to share his family's art with the people of Hawaii. He established the Relson Gracie Academy in 1988 where many prominent jiu jitsu students trained under him, some of whom opened their own academies under the Gracie Association to carry on the legacy of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. In 2013 Relson was awarded the title of Grandmaster as a 9th degree red belt, the highest rank attainable in Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

HNL's curriculum is grounded in the Gracie Jiu Jitsu style, but also incorporates modern, cutting-edge techniques which allows us to provide a holistic, dynamic training program to all of our students.
