Well after 3 days on the north side of the island..we still can't surf because the wind is just insane. We found a Royler Gracie Humaita jiu jitsu sign in front of a house by Foodland and knocked on the door to see if we can train there. Seems like no one was home for a while. Does anyone knows of a place between Hanalei and Ka'apa to train at?
Thanks...because the island fever is starting to creep in.
Go down to the southside of the island and try Poi-Pou (sp?) Beach. There's also a beach further west than that which has a nice little righthand break.
As for the jiu-jitsu, sorry no advice my fren.
I just got back from Kauai myself. I knocked on the same door on Tuesday and no one home then either. There is an ADCC champ staying at the same hotel I was at in Ka'paa, but his there strictly on vacation.
You should check out onzuka.com. They have some phone #s and stuff so that might help you out.
I believe that the Humaita in Hanalei is Bruno Ewalds; one of his blackbelts (Jared Espina) is teaching in Kapa'a also.
I used to train at Ka-mole in Kapa'a, but I think they relocated to the west side.
Pono Pananganan (Kauai Technical Institute) has a good school out in Lihue as well if you would be willing to make the drive out there.

Go back to Bruno's around 6pm and there should be some guys start showing up, I have trained there a few times.
There is a group that meets at the Civic center in Kapa'a in the afternoon Tues and Thursday but I had a hard time tracking them down. There is a T-shirt shop in Kapa'a on the East side of the street and the woman's son teaches for Ka-mole.
That's all I have.
