Vanquish MMA & Jiu Jitsu

“My two boys love their kickboxing and ju jitsu classes. Mike and his team are great coaches that teach not just self defense but also discipline.”

“My kids have been taking jiu jitsu classes since last October and I am so thrilled with their progress. The coaches take their time teaching each move but expect the kids to be watching and to pay attention. It is a very old school no bull atmosphere which I love since they only have an hour a night to drill. My kids are getting in great shape and learning self defense. I would recommend every kid come and try a class.”

“Learning to keep yourself safe starts with having a plan. When someone drags you to the ground; what are you going to do? Just as in life, you will need to turn and face your problem. From there Jiu-jitsu gives you tools and skills to defend yourself from a larger more dominant opponent. Learning to fight from the ground on your back is IMO a fundamental necessity that every child should be taught so that they can take that skill to adulthood. My daughter has competed at Grappling Industries against boys and won gold and silver. The proof is in the pudding.”

“I stopped in this gym twice as I was traveling through the state, once on a Saturday open role, and once for a Monday class. Both times I had a great time with some great people. There was a good culture in the gym and they rolled with me carefully and respectfully. Thank you!”

“My 8 year old son has been a student at Vanquish for approximately 6 months now. He's already competed in two out of town tournaments. He loves it! He's a very high energy kid and has tried the more common sports; soccer, baseball and football. Juijitsu has trumped those sports for him, so much so, he chose not to return this season and to only continue with his jui jitsu training. I attest this to the coaches. A coach has so much influence and impact on a child that it can make or break the experience for them. It's great to have this training available for our youth in Payson. It's a not only healthy physical activity, but is training that they can utilize for a lifetime. Highly recommend”
