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.

Thank you professors + family for all the sacrifices and support you give not just to our kids but our families and community as well :)

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!

We got out of a place where the owner was a crazy, psychotic guy who couldn't even keep a good relationship with his employees so he was short staffed and he was the one giving the classes to the little ones. He pinched one of my kids who was only 4 years at the time and left a big bruise on his right arm. When I confronted him, he got all nasty. I left his place and wrote a bad review on his business. He threatened me and continued to call my husband several times a day so that I would delete the bad review from his page. That guy was definitely mentally unstable. No wonder his business is closed! After doing a more careful research of where to take our kids, we found SoCal Fight Factory. I regret not finding this place before and exposing my kids to danger by taking them with that psychotic brazilian guy in Palmdale on Grand Cypress Ave . SoCal Fight Factory is a safe place for kids. The coaches are Amazing. They all earned our respect and admiration. My kids learned so much from their coaches, specially from Marco. We miss this place so much. Unfortunately, we had to move out of California and we haven't been able to find another place like SoCal Fight Factory. To be honest, what we miss more from California besides the weather is SoCal Fight Factory.

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.

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.

When it started, he personally instructed his students to roll with us, which was really cool. Usually, we have to find partners for ourselves, which can be a bit awkward. Everyone was really nice. Everyone taught us something new. There were a lot of high belts. Never seen so many brown and black belts for an open mat. They were the majority. Usually, you will be lucky to find a few. The facility looks like it was renovated recently and looked very clean and nice. The bathrooms were nice with showers and lockers. They had a water filling station, which was especially awesome. Best of all, we met someone from a previous open mat that goes here. Small world! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a solid place to train.

You'll notice right away that the gym and equipment is new and constantly cleaned and sanitized. They're also currently in the process of expanding and we can't wait to see the new additions to the gym. All the coaches are legit studs and their knowledge is second to none. The head coach Alex is a UFC vet and his assistant coaches Dylan and Mike both double champs in their weight classes. If you're serious about training and getting in shape this is the place. We've been training at cage combat acadamy for the past 4 years and have no plans on stopping. I've lost 40 pounds my son has medaled at multiple tournaments and next year my daughter will be joining as well. All around we couldn't be happier we joined. Long story short if you're looking for a serious gym that treats you like family then look no further. See you on the mats.

As a mom, I feel deeply disappointed and misled by Cage Combat Academy. When we joined, we were…read moremade to believe in many opportunities for our kids to compete in tournaments and grow in their jiujitsu journey. My children waited patiently for years--FOUR years--holding onto those promises, but they turned out to be empty. The owner, Alex, is a gifted coach on the mat. But unfortunately, he was the very person who made false promises about growth and competition opportunities. When I showed up to one of these "intended" opportunities (that never materialized), he spoke to me in an aggressive and disrespectful way right in front of my children. I was shaken, I had respected him and the gym so much. I seen him hurt other families but I never thought he would come for us since we were so freaking loyal. My husband went back two days later to address it directly. He told Alex clearly: (1) Do not ever speak to my wife like that again, and (2) We finally see that the opportunities we were promised will never come, so after years of loyalty, we are leaving. Alex seemed way more respectful to my husband and even wanted to work things out. The reality is that Cage Combat only participates in a handful of very small tournaments each year--sometimes just 4 total--and most often there wasn't even competition in my kids' brackets because they were tiny unworthy tournaments. My children were ready for more, eager to grow, and deserved the chance to test themselves, but it was simply not allowed. After my husband spoke up, I had a meeting with Rosalie. That three-hour conversation was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. She dominated the entire discussion with negativity, spoke poorly about nearly every one of my friends / members from the gym, and even made disparaging remarks about my daughter exploring another gym. Worst of all, after we decided to move on, she spread rumors about my 14-year-old daughter (and other teens) a girl who had given her whole heart, sweat, and loyalty to this gym. To hear from at least 20 different people that she was the subject of Rosalies gossip was beyond disgusting. I think she did it to try and save face& blame us for the falling out. But those that took a peak in to the truth seen through her scandalous ways. I texted Rosalie directly, asking her not to ever speak about my family again, but she continued and even escalated to salacious slander about other members!!!! It was beyond disgusting what she said and I wont dare mention it on the internet. I consulted an attorney over the situation and they agreed that Rosalie& Alex plus some of their staff (Jacky according to Rosalies statements) were in fact committing defamation. Ultimately, I chose to move forward and not look back at their cowardice ways. I enrolled my children at a new gym across the bridge. Since leaving, the opportunities have been absolutely incredible--far beyond what we were told was possible. I thank God for lifting the veil so my kids could have the opportunities and support they have now. Looking back, I realize I stayed too long because of misplaced loyalty and because I wanted to believe in them. But the truth is, this gym operates with a cult-like manipulation that blinds you until you finally step away. I can go on for hours of the many many incidences but I will just end saying to look at the facts; both Alex and Rosalie have very volatile relationships or zero relationships with our local likeminded community and their own families! I am writing this months later because I believe it may answer some questions that other members may be dealing with themselves. If that is you, you are not crazy and I hope this helps!!! My advice to other parents: if your children want real opportunities to grow, compete, and be supported in a healthy environment, look elsewhere.
