KOLA
AJOSE.

“Be open, be positive, and embrace the beauty of your journey.”

Professor Kola has built a rare kind of academy: personal enough to know every student, demanding enough to attract accomplished competitors, and grounded enough to welcome the person walking onto the mat for the first time.

His Jiu-Jitsu journey began in 1996 at the Rickson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in West Los Angeles. In 2013, he helped open LCCT San Pablo and continued building the teaching lineage that became KABJJ.
