My daughter and I have been attending Victorum 2 days a week since January. I can honestly say this place 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! read more

Very cool place all the coaches were very patient and seem knowledgeable in all areas, only downside of my experience with this place was the person I got paired with a 41 year old peanut butter complexion man named dale, I pinned him down with a v reversal and his wig fell off by accident and immediately he started screaming about how I was a sniper and didn't know what I was doing then proceeded to get up and ran to the bathroom to fix his wig, kinda threw me off honestly but over all cool place to train read more

We've been with Victorum since 2022 and are so happy we found it after searching all through the AV for a gym that felt like home. 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 :) read more

Victorum has been a blessing. As a father I wanted my son to have the tools to defend himself as I know I can't fight all his battles for him. Victorum gives our kids confidence, the ability to de-escalate a situation and walk away, but the tools to defend themselves if need be. My son is proof of that. Never thought he'd wanna compete but now he's full blown in it and found his sport. Coaches and Professors here compete as well and bring that experience back to the mat. Great family environment, no egos, just work hard and earn your stripes. Can't thank the Victorum Team and the families enough for all the support, life lessons, and teachings they have given my family. If you're searching for a judgement free, chill, family environment for adults and kids.. come through. read more

Highly! Highly recommend! Great family environment. Professors take the time to mentor on and off the mat. Coaches are patient yet reinforce respect and boundaries. Parents and significant others are very supportive to eachother and the competitors. If you have littles, there is a level of expectations for success in school and at home with an emphasis on good character and respect shown to parents and the community as a whole. Overall an organization founded in family values and personal growth. Very much recommend for any age but littles especially! You will not be disappointed! read more

Great instructors! Positive and uplifting atmosphere. LOVE that it's faith based and local family owned.

Victorum is an amazing gem in the Antelope Valley. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed with smiles. Everyone from the staff and students were welcoming and immediately felt like they known us for years. The coaches are all really great and take their time with all the students to make sure they are getting the most from each session. The facility has a welcoming and home type lounge vibe that is great for those who can't participate in the training. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! The staff and ambient is motivating. I highly recommend if you're looking for a place.

First time being introduced to the sport we were recommended by a family friend. It's a great place to learn and feel like family. The professors make you feel comfortable and motivates you to do better and be better. Best part about this gym is that it's geared for kids and adults. So the entire family can train!! read more

Started BJJ around 34 yrs old, now 40ish. Great family gym; everyone looks out for eachother , building our strengths as a team/family, and rather it's for a hobby, fitness, weight loss, self-defense, discipline and even competitive sport. This is the place that cares about your goals. Proud to be apart of this family. read more

Great Bjj gym! Nothing but good things to say about the owner and his staff. I used to train here but I stopped during covid. I never went back due to joint pain and injuries sustained from previous mma training and years of hard running and cycling. Highly recommend bjj gym! read more

Such a kind and inviting place to start your BJJ journey. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and you really get the feeling that they want you to learn and find a passion for the sport. I've tried to start BJJ several times and just ended up feeling lost in the sauce. Their 10 week beginner program gives you the fundamentals to start sparring confidently. If you're looking to start or to find a great community of people, this is the place. read more

I finally found a sport that my son enjoys. I don't necessarily believe that it is just jujitsu, he enjoys the instructors and the other students. He was very easily welcomed in by the other students. The instructors were very patient and very knowledgeable of their art. It's very exciting for me as a parent when my son is excited to go to practice and never wants to miss a day. We struggled for a long time to find his niche and I believe weve found it. Thank you Frank and all the instructors for the amazing work you guys do every day. read more

Our 3 kids are in love with jiu-jitsu and it's because of the instructors and the comraderie here. Our friends recommended this gym to us and that's how we came to find it and now we've recommended it to our other friends as well who joined and now love it as well. The best part is that the kids are active and they're learning valuable skills WHILE having fun. They have classes for kids and adults and the schedule is very convenient because there are numerous time slots to choose from. read more

Great staff and always makes the effort to make you feel welcomed. The training that the staff provides is excellent and most importantly the personal experience that is given to the students is fantastic. read more

Amazing establishment for you and your children to train Jiu Jitsu at especially when your passionate about the sport. Staff is amazing couldn't ask for better service when you walk in I always recieve a friendly greeting when I arrive with my son and the professors here are amazing with adults and kids. If you're looking for a place to push you beyond your limits and sharpen your skills while maintaining the upmost discipline this place is prefect for you and your children. I definitely couldn't see myself training anywhere else or my children. read more

They say the greatest compliment one can give is a referral and if I could refer Victorum to everyone, I would... and I do. Ever been to a party at an indoor playground party with your FAVORITE friends and relatives where you can just relax as an adult, converse with other adults sipping coffee while having that peace of mind that your child(ren) is/are in good hands? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT VICTORUM IS TO OUR FAMILY. As a parent who has done extensive research and enrolled our children in some well known gyms, I can confidently claim that my husband and I have both agreed that Victorum is the absolute best and we are beyond ecstatic to have found our "home." They have set the bar so high that it would be impossible to find another gym that can bring what Victorum brings to the table. It was so important for me to find a place that was nothing but positive in every aspect and we have FINALLY found it. If you are searching for a gym you can call home or are unsure if Jiu Jitsu is for you, they offer an extremely generous TWO WEEKS for free. This is a gym that doesn't make you feel obligated in signing up. The owners (Frank and Lynda) are very personable, classy (not snobby), and respectful. There is absolutely no pressure in signing up and the best part is THERE ARE NO CONTRACTS, just month to month. When asked why they didn't do contracts, Frank told me that he "wants to feel like he has to earn our business each and every time so that we do not ever feel like we are just numbers." That statement alone speaks volumes of how they truly care about others and your growth despite whatever your fitness goals may be. You are NOT a number here. They are VERY reasonably priced and are a Mission 22 Ambassador which means part of your membership fees go towards helping veterans. Active duty and veterans train free. Here are just a few (out of millions) of my favorite things about Victorum: THE OWNERS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE 24/7 and communicate with you. No need to call/email/text- you will always find one of them. They are always present and are the easiest people to talk to. "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."- John C Maxwell That quote describes Coach Frank perfectly! If you want a true leader to guide and teach your children, Coach Frank is THE MAN. He leads by example and speaks to your children as if they were his own. There is NO FAVORITISM here. While there are other equally qualified and respectable coaches that assist, Coach Frank works closely with each and every child (unlike some other gym owners we have encountered in the past). He is the epitome of a true and effective leader: encourages, communicates well, is graceful, respectful, honest, passionate, committed, accountable, and is a man of integrity. Most importantly, HE is patient and BELIEVES IN AND INSPIRES YOUR CHILD(REN). He takes his time getting to know your child and relates to them in a way that works best for your child. He is a man who will invest in his students so that everyone (especially) your child can see, believe, and reach their full potential. Coach Frank also actively trains himself- you can tell he would never ask his students to do something he isn't willing to do himself. My kids have had the honor of training with Coach Frank for a while now and even just after a few classes, I can already see their confidence growing. They have shown and demonstrated that they have learned way more in a few classes here than they did at their previous gym. There are so many details that make this gym feel like home. For starters, it is extremely organized and well cared for. Amenities include: free WiFi, a microwave, free well stocked coffee bar and water dispenser that is always full (so you don't ever have to feel guilty if you forget to bring your water bottle), several tables and chairs for you to sit at (which comes in handy when my children have to do homework while their other sibling trains). There are 2 big screen TVs that display Jiu Jitsu videos which are great because while my son is waiting for his class to start, i have seen him watching these videos which I'm sure inspires him. They also play music but not loud enough to prevent you from enjoying conversations. The facility has 2 restrooms: men and women's. The women's restroom is always equipped with things you may need: new ponytails, spray deodorant, etc. This is truly a positive family environment. Everyone is so friendly and respectful that I always forget I've been here more than 2 hours a day and kind of get sad when it's time to go home. Lol. Everyone here has treated and welcomes us like family. I invite you to stop by and watch (if not try) their classes (which is what we did in the beginning). Don't let the cuteness of the small students fool you... they are extremely humble but bad*ss! read more

An awesome school with amazing instructors. Frank and Richie are like family and the school is one big family. Once the Rona is under control, I look forward to going back. The level of instruction and care and concern for the students is top-notch. There is no other place in the AV that I would rather train than Victorum! read more

As a parent going through Covid this whole year has been tough having a household with 5 boys and myself and husband working this is really a great atmosphere for the kids to learn discipline and interact and make new friends! This Gym has went above and beyond with my son Kalani being one month in not only has his confidence as grown but also lost a couple of pounds now being members for a month with my 7 year old Kalani we enrolled our 8 year old Damian! He to is growing the passion for the mat! We are grateful for the coaching staff with coach Christina coach Zack and coach Anthony and new coach James! Also to Professor frank and his family and coach Richie we feel at home at this establishment! Thank you to the Whole Victorum Company for showing us humbleness!! read more

Victorum Athletics was referred to us from a close family friend. My husband and I were looking for an activity for our 5 year old son. An activity that would break him from his shell, while learning discipline and respect. The first time we walked into the gym, it just felt right! Coach Frank and his wife Linda were absolutely amazing and gave us that "family-like" feel. At first our son was very shy and didn't even want to tell Coach Frank his name. But by the end of the week, our son was begging to go back! Coach Frank is very patient with the children, always encouraging them, making class fun but still keeping it structured. I encourage any parent looking for an activity for their child or children, to come and check out Victorum Athletics! We are looking forward to seeing our son grow, mature and learn/respect an amazing art form. read more

I love the atmosphere, positive energy and family oriented. My son enjoys making friends while learning the sport. I am able to connect with other parents. I love the Maui Tai class for myself. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to have their children as well themselves to learn the sport. read more

The gym is amazing! I've been to other guys out here and visited many across the state and country. This is definitely one of the best gyms in the I've ever been to. There is no pressure from the professor and they support a great cause. There's no need to worry about alot of the drama like at some other gyms, they encourage you to visit other gyms and train and they also welcome people from everywhere and all gyms. You'll never feel stuck at this gym, there are people to teach from all different aspects of BJJ, maybe you like spider guard...done, maybe you like half guard....done, maybe you like lapels...done. maybe you're a top player and well that's definitely covered. It's all here! read more

I have to say that this is by far the best BJJ place in the AV. Extremely positive environment for anyone wanting to learn and even compete. All the staff are incredibly helpful and the atmosphere is one of respect and discipline. I would not have my kids in any other place! They absolutely love this place! read more

A positive and great environment for my boys who enjoy attending classes. There is much to be said about this place and it's instructors. Very welcoming and engaging with everyone that come in. As a single mum of boys, I love that Professor Frank and his staff not only teach the physical side of BJJ but very importantly they instill discipline, character building, integrity and accountability. The best in the Antelope Valley! read more

We love this place and all of the staff. I've watched my boys grow in so many areas since joining the gym. Thankful for Victoria Athletics.

I moved to Lancaster a few years ago and had no friends or family within a 300 mile radius. I never thought of Lancaster as "home" until this past year and Victorum Athletics is a part of that. Fast forward to today... my little girl left the gym happy and proud of a few skills she's been working on, a handful of valentine's day grams from friends, a Darth Vader sticker from coach Frank and a sad face all because her "me time" is over. As for me, I've finally made a few adult friends (SAHM problems) and am very happy that I finally found a sport my little girl actually loves! Did I mention they have coffee? From the well kept facility, the family-oriented vibes, to the coaches and professors...this place is absolutely amazing. The passion the coaches have for their craft shows. They truly take the time to get to know their students and tailor the program to each individual's skill level. As a USAF Veteran and a Wounded Warrior Project alumni, their active support for Mission 22 also resonates deeply for me. If for a minute you think this review is completely fabricated -- you're right. I struggled to find the right words to describe how awesome this place is without writing a novel and how humbling it is to have met such amazing owners/human beings (Frank and Lynda). It took me about an hour to write this and that comes to show how dedicated I was to convince you that there is no other BJJ school out there better for you and your fam...and being a SAHM of hyper toddlers has made it almost impossible. =P read more

My son initially went to Victorum just to try out a new way of staying fit. After a few "tries" he decided Jiu Jitsu was for him. The staff at Victorum have encouraged my son to grow in ways no other extra-curricular activity has. He has gained confidence, increased self-discipline, and found responsibility through dedication to growing his practice. I attended their free women's self-defense workshop and quickly fell in love myself. I am now one week into my own training and couldn't be happier. The team here are well versed in their craft and patient in teaching even the greenest of us their techniques. read more

After trying out other schools in the area I can say Victorum Athletics is the best brazilian jiu jitsu school in the Antelope Valley.

Whether you want start training in BJJ or looking for a new school in the Antelope Valley, I highly suggest trying Victorum Athletics. read more

We moved up from San Diego this year, and looked at every BJJ school in the Antelope Valley. Our former school, 4SBJJ, where my three kids, wife, and myself first started training two years ago, was one of the top schools in San Diego for training kids in a family friendly environment. Our philosophy is that martial arts is more than just developing physical skills. It is about developing character, integrity, perseverance, and self-control. What is also important to us are the family values of the coaches and staff, and maintaining a positive environment similar to what we strive to create in our own home. Of all the schools we visited, Victorum Athletics just felt like the right place with people who shared similar values. Having trained here for about nine months now, the school has proven to be a great match. We are happy with the quality of teaching, with emphasis on fundamentals and technique. All three of our kids have continued their training here, as well as myself and my wife. There are also many other great parents who train here with their kids. If you're looking for a great place for your family to train, I highly recommend this school. read more

We love it here! My daughter takes classes at victorum, and it's fantastic because It's not just about juijitsu here- it's about making sure each child is well-rounded and understands how to be a good person off the mat. She's learned so much and we love coach Frank! read more

Absolutely amazing, my daughter is 8 and loves it, all the instructors are on point and makes you feel like family. Since my daughter has been going she's had a huge boost in confidence and has made so many great friends and memories. They are all level headed and if your like me and don't understand the rules, belts ect... they break everything down in a way that you understand. Highly recommend any one to check them out, adults or children! read more
