Instructor bios:
Aline Krisner has been practicing jiu jitsu for over 30 years and has lived in several parts of the world such as Dubai, London, New York, and, most recently, Los Angeles. Her objective is to learn from the legends by always looking to attend the best BJJ schools in the world. As a student, she worked with great masters like Roger Gracie and Renzo Gracie, ending up on the Checkmat Team where she was promoted to black belt by Leo Vieira, the Checkmat founder. Aline is a hungry competitor and also does super fights in private events like Fight To Win. Aline is the founder of Maui’s Womens Open Mat Wahine Rollers. Jiu jitsu helped Aline overcome all the difficulties she has had in life, and now she wants to give back to the same community. Aline has the gift of teaching and serving. She is a charismatic teacher who passes her love for BJJ on to her students.
Ana Karolina Araujo began her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2008 at Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil. During which time she was an avid competitor. Since returning to the mats in 2022, she has dedicated herself to coaching and sharing her passion for the art with others while persuading her passion as a competitor.
Based in Maui, Hawaii, Karol is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense instructor at Pacific Jiu Jitsu, where she teaches children, adults, women, and competitors. She is passionate about creating a positive learning environment that helps students build confidence, strong fundamentals, and resilience both on and off the mats.
Karol believes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art—it is a tool for personal growth, discipline, and empowering people to become the best version of themselves.
