We got out of a place where the owner was a crazy, psychotic guy who couldn't even keep a good relationship with his employees so he was short staffed and he was the one giving the classes to the little ones. He pinched one of my kids who was only 4 years at the time and left a big bruise on his right arm. When I confronted him, he got all nasty. I left his place and wrote a bad review on his business. He threatened me and continued to call my husband several times a day so that I would delete the bad review from his page. That guy was definitely mentally unstable. No wonder his business is closed! After doing a more careful research of where to take our kids, we found SoCal Fight Factory. I regret not finding this place before and exposing my kids to danger by taking them with that psychotic brazilian guy in Palmdale on Grand Cypress Ave . SoCal Fight Factory is a safe place for kids. The coaches are Amazing. They all earned our respect and admiration. My kids learned so much from their coaches, specially from Marco. We miss this place so much. Unfortunately, we had to move out of California and we haven't been able to find another place like SoCal Fight Factory. To be honest, what we miss more from California besides the weather is SoCal Fight Factory.

I sat in on atleast 3 other academies in town and noticed that Victorum had by-far the most welcoming staff and students. This might account for the large number of women that train here. Students and staff are have been so helpful throughout or BJJ journey. It's already feeling like family. 2. The professors here actually roll with their students. They are in the trenches with us everyday. And to top it off they are still driving out of town to world class academies on a weekly basis so that they keep their own tool sharp and also so they can always bring us gold nuggets. I'm attempting to get my wife to join and have already invited co-workers and friends. So believe me when I say I would highly recommend this academy to anyone!

As a family member, it's reassuring to see him in such a positive, structured, and encouraging space. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Lancaster to anyone looking for a great training environment.

I was never into martial…read morearts, but when I signed up my kids, initially I wanted them to feel the strength of their bodies to help them with bullying at school, but now I see that Jui Juitsu is SO much more than that. It is discipline of the mind when it wants to race, it is being in touch with your body and your surroundings, it is respecting yourself and your partners and the art of this practice. We have all learned so much already. I would also like to highlight Coach Andrew as a dedicated teacher and coach, he is fully committed to this work and that's why we're not only getting a sports or a martial arts training, we're all getting a life experience! Thank you to all the staff members of this space! Warmly, Hera, Gaia & Rhea.

I have seen such a positive change in her; she is both physically and mentally stronger than she has ever been. She has learned a great deal of technique along with vital life-saving self-defense skills. Coach Jimmy is hands down the best coach. He gets to know all the kids one-on-one and truly understands what each of them is capable of achieving. There are many other amazing coaches there as well who know all the kids by name, and the coach-to-student ratio is perfect. I would definitely recommend bringing your child or even yourself to any of the classes they have to offer. You will not be disappointed!

I have spent most of my life as a martial artist training alongside Derek Morris Sensei. Though the Hidden Dojo/Shindenkan Budo stays true to it's Japanese roots, I find it to be the most well rounded/open minded school I've ever had the pleasure of training with. Training methods span the globe using elements from many styles of martial arts. The Hidden Dojo goes beyond the "teacher say... student do" method of teaching. Careful instruction ensures a path towards continued learning. However, students will also find that they learn from each other. Students are led to discover the details of a technique and at every level discover more about what once seemed basic. Several times a year, students are given opportunities to train amongst the highest ranked instructors as well as the heads of our arts. Such unique experiences often take place right in Lancaster, but also offer an opportunity to train across the country as well as in Canada, Europe and Japan. Though students of the Hidden Dojo/Shindenkan Budo develop physical skills, they also cultivate strong character, mindful living, and creative thinking. The Hidden Dojo is a humble dojo. But high quality martial arts, high quality instructors turning out high quality people... that's what they are about. As an instructor I hope to model my school after the school that has given so much to me. JP Mamaril Sensei - Dojo-cho Saratoga Budo/Shinsenkan Budo Saratoga Springs, NY
