I tagged along and I'm glad I did. That was one of the most changing moments of my life. I met coach Dan and a few of the other guys that soon became my jiu jitsu family. Coach Dan. Man. I loved his slight accent, his morales, the way he knew where he stood. Being 16 years old and impressionable, he really helped mold me into the young lady I am today. He was never in it for the money. He coaches because he loves it. Definitely the BEST training you could get. He's hands down the best coach. The way he teaches and takes time with every student. His knowledge and years of experience. Starting jiu jitsu here was great. Stay loyal. Stay hungry to learn. You put in the hard work and enthusiasm, coach will help you progress. *flow with the go* Love, The tiny girl who walked in and didn't know what the fuck she was doing, but she loved it. - Geny

Great school that provides an excellent learning environment for it's students. Dan Howard is the…read morebest instructor I could ever ask for, he is strict and will not let little errors in technique slide, but at the same time provides encouragement for his students to succeed. Dan has many sayings at his school, one of which is to leave your ego at the door, which every student at the school practices. Promotions in belt ranking will not come quickly or easily at this school, as they shouldn't, Dan emphasizes mastery of the basic fundamentals in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and will not promote you until he truly feels you are ready.

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 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!

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.

Even now, they are still patient with me which is great because it allows me to break through my own social and physical barriers with no sense of pressure or direct/ indirect constant criticism. My experience at Ultra Jiu Jitsu Academy has changed my life for the better. Professor Dixon, Professor Pedro and Professor Skye are elite instructors. The coaches are approachable and love to teach as well. They all love what they do and it shows. Aside from the great coaches and professors, the training partners who attend are some of the most down to earth and nicest people I've come around. The environment is what you make it to be but competition and safety are always included. I personally use my training sessions as therapy and leave the stress of normal day living at the front door. I'm sure there's plenty of other places that people swear is the best but I know for sure I found my second home and I can't wait for my son to start as well. Hope this helps.
