Kekoa Collective

Ke Koa is a Hawaiian word for brave, bold, fearless, valiant, courageous, soldier, warrior, fighter, hero. In or out of the ocean, on or off the mat.

We are a lifestyle apparel brand rooted in Mindful Living, using Jiu Jitsu, surf, and travel as tools to build community, inspire connection, and help heal humanity—one human at a time. Kekoa Collective was founded in 2009 on the idea that surfing, jiu jitsu and traveling could be a way of life - and we’ve never looked back. A few years later we discovered yoga, and now cannot live without it. We

It has been an incredible 20-year ride.
A bright-eyed blue belt once had a dream—to build a lifestyle brand that would inspire people to live a mindful life. That dream became Kekoa Collective.
Today is one of the hardest days of my life. We will be temporarily closing Kekoa Collective.
From the bottom of my heart, mahalo to everyone who believed in Kekoa’s mission over the last two decades. Your love and support helped me grow—not only as a founder, but as a man, a father, and a husband. No words can truly express my gratitude.
My hope is that Kekoa planted a small seed of kindness and love in your soul—and that you will continue spreading it throughout humanity. God knows our world needs it now more than ever.
As for me, I’m stepping away to deepen my spiritual journey and dedicate more time loving my wife, Jennifer. For 20 years she stood beside me while I chased this dream. Now it’s my turn to return that love.
As a thank you, please use code PAU50.
God bless you all. Sending my love.
Namaste & Aloha ‘Oe.
Until we meet again… on the mat or in the sea.

The tatami holds mysteries.
It brings strangers together and, without warning, turns them into family. Some will walk into your life for a single round—and change your destiny forever.
AJ of was that soul for Kekoa Collective. With no expectation, only heart, he helped us create our very first kimono. In that moment, the future shifted. A brand was born. A path was revealed.
This is the magic of Jiu Jitsu. You never know who will show up to open mat, or how one roll can ripple through a lifetime. Every roll carries a story. Every connection carries purpose.
Mahalo nui loa, AJ. For your humility, your generosity, and the way you move through this world. May all you give return to you tenfold.

A professor’s true role is to bring out the best in you—not only on the mat, but in the essence of who you are. They inspire not by what they say, but by how they show up in the world: for their family, their students, and their community.
Kekoa has been shaped in many ways by this incredible human, . To all the upcoming black belts, we hope this journey through the Gentle Art has helped you become the person you envision beyond the gi.
Mahalo Nui, Rylan, for who you are in our community and for Kekoa Collective.

Jiu Jitsu speaks a universal language. It sees no boundaries, no prejudice. When we honor it the right way, it becomes a path to mindful living.
