My daughter and I have been attending Victorum 2 days a week since January. I can honestly say this…read moreplace is the best in the AV for a couple reasons. 1. 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!

They've opened so many doors in our daughter's jiujitsu journey and we're forever grateful. The accomplishments have meant a lot but the discipline, patience and growing our relationship with God has meant more. Aside from competing it has helped our girl want to stay active and healthy, HUGE win. All good things ! Thank you professors + family for all the sacrifices and support you give not just to our kids but our families and community as well :)

The instructors create a positive and respectful environment where students feel encouraged to learn and build confidence. It's clear they care not just about teaching Jiu-Jitsu, but also about helping their students grow both on and off the mat. 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.

Just got out of the parent and kids' class with Coach Andrew & Coach Mike. 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 wanted to reach out and share my experience with 10th Planet Palmdale, as my daughter has been…read moretaking Jiu-Jitsu classes there for the past five months. 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!
