Tiffany A.

So glad a friend recommended this place for our now 4 year old then 3 year old to start jujitsu classes. The amount of care and patience the coaches have is incomparable. The coaches spark a really interest and desire in kids that trickles into everyday routines of practice. We have tried other gyms but nothing will compare to The Lair! Thanks coach Mike and Sam!

Tiffani A.

If you're looking for a jiu jitsu gym in and around Glendora, this is it. Coach Mike is an awesome coach not only for adults, but for our 6 and 5 year old kiddos. You can really feel the passion and heart he has for the sport. Coach Mike pushes the kids when they feel like they no longer can go and makes them believe in themselves as much as he believes in them. Jiu jitsu is more than just a sport, it teaches a lot of life lessons, and he definitely teaches that to the kids. My kids work harder at The Lair than they did at the gym they were at prior not just because they have to but they want to. When coach Mike teaches, it's structured. You're not just learning a new move every class. You're reviewing the same moves for at least a week until the motions just come second nature to you. He is an awesome teacher, that really focuses on the little details. Not only does he teach the moves, but he explains why it matters to put your arm or leg in that specific area. He also teaches the defense of the move. When it's time to roll, you're not just doing 5 minute rounds but also positional sparring which I think are significantly harder, but so much more effective in working your game. It's all tough, but so worth it! Everyone that comes in are respectful, mature, and are not looking to break your limbs off. They are all there to have a good time, learn, and grow. As a woman, it is difficult to feel comfortable in a high contact sport with a bunch of men, but the culture that coach Mike and The Lair has makes it to where I don't need to feel afraid. Plus, there's women in this gym! The gym itself is rad! If you're looking for a traditional gym that plays mediocre music, you won't find that here. I feel like I'm reliving my high school emo days when I step into The Lair and I'm not complaining! I 100% recommend The Lair for kids, men AND women. You won't regret it!

Unfortunately, none of the others were upfront about their pricing, and several never even bothered to return our messages. It was frustrating trying to get simple information, especially when we were just looking for the right place for our child to train. Sampa BJJ was completely different from the very first interaction. They responded quickly, gave us a clear price range without any pressure, and were incredibly welcoming to our daughter on her first day. They even offered a free two-week trial with no strings attached, which showed they were confident in what they had to offer and genuinely wanted families to experience the gym before making a commitment. Since then, we've signed up and they have continued to exceed the expectations they set from day one. My daughter now trains in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing, and we attend classes three to four times a week. She absolutely loves the instruction, the training environment, and the fun games they play after class. The coaches have created a place where kids can learn, build confidence, and enjoy every visit, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to join Sampa BJJ.

Shout out to Proff. TT and Josh!!! You can tell they take pride in what they've built. From day one, Proff. TT was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve--whether you're brand new or have years of experience. She has amazing coaches (Jota, Andy and Hero) who are amazing with children. Proff TT takes the time to break techniques down in a way kids understand, while also teaching discipline, confidence, accountability and respect. My children have grown so much -- not just in skill, but in focus and self-confidence. It's been incredible to watch. The environment is positive, structured, and very family-friendly. The kids are supported, never intimidated, and the staff makes sure training stays safe and fun. The gym is always clean and organized, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! If you're looking for a place where you can build confidence, learn real self-defense, and be part of an uplifting community, Logic in Glendora is truly special. We're so grateful we found it!

The support, encouragement, and mentorship we receive extend far beyond the mats. We've built meaningful friendships and found a place where everyone is welcomed, challenged, and celebrated. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing team and community, and we look forward to many more years of training together.

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!
