The following is a listing of all the martial art academies or dojos in the state of Hawaii to my knowledge.  This list was created for visitors and residents of Hawaii who are looking for martial arts instruction.  Oahu has the majority of the state's population and thus, the largest number of martial art academies or dojos.  The island maps are the most detailed I could find and thus take a little extra time to download so please be patient.
 

Kauai, Hawaii
"The Garden Island"

Oahu, Hawaii
"The Gathering Place"

Maui, Hawaii
"The Valley Island"

Hawaii, Hawaii
"The Orchid Island"

If you have a martial arts or combative sports (boxing, kickboxing, etc) school or martial arts supplies store you would like listed or corrected, please contact me.  The number of academies or dojos listed prevents me from verifying every piece of information presented (for this I apologize), so please inform me of any corrections.


The following islands are not only the smallest of the major islands, but also the least populated.  There are no martial art academies or dojos on these islands to my knowledge.
 

Niihau, Hawaii
"The Forbidden Island"

Kaho'olawe, Hawaii

Molokai, Hawaii
"The Friendly Island"

Lanai, Hawaii
"The Pineapple Island"
