Sifu Dave and his team offer several martial arts and self defense training, including one-on-one, for all age groups. Their knowledge, as well as their experiences, provide students with the skills they need to build confidence and learn true self defense.

The workout is incredible and the knowledge is fantastic. The attention to detail is what separates this facility over so many others. I can't speak for the mixed martial arts and grappling as I only train in boxing. But in my opinion, this is the facility to train in for your Boxing, and MMA needs.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience here and would encourage anyone thinking about going to give it a try. It's truly amazing how these kids transform before your eyes into strong, confident, humble, and caring little angels.

My son James just turned 15 years old. We had a nice birthday party for him but he has no friends…read moreso he had no fun. The other kids at school often bully him because he doesn't know how to defend himself. When James told me this, I knew I had to do something. Thankfully, I remembered that we had one of the best MMA dojos in the world right here - Victors MMA!!! I brought James to his first day of MMA 6 weeks ago Saturday. He didn't want me to leave but I had a meeting with my associates so I left him there for his one and a half hour session. When I came back, I was shocked at how happy James was. He was sweating furiously and having fun while fighting his peers. In the car he was so hungry that he ate both of the cereal bars that his mom packed for him! Nice! Since then, James is always so excited to go to MMA every weekend. He has become so much more social and every week I have to pack him more snacks because he's so hungry. Last week, he finally decided that he wanted to enter into a karate tournament using his new skills. We allowed him to go to one on Saturday, and James had a blast. He used so much energy that he fell asleep in the car ride home. That must have been from all of the times that he got slammed down onto the mat. He keeps complaining that his neck is broken, and hasn't gotten off the couch. But I'm sure hes being dramatic, and anyway the hospital is too expensive. But overall, Victors MMa has changed James for the better.
