Amazing gym! Mitch and Josh and the other amazing coaches here truly care about the success and growth of each and every member. This is not the place to come and not be ready to be uncomfortable- this is not the place to come and make excuses- this is the place to come and put in the work and become something bigger and greater. There are not just amazing training opportunities- this place has MASF greens and the best energy drink I have ever tasted. If you’re in the area- stop in. If you have a child- Levi should show them the ropes because he got my scared daughter hooked on Jiu jitsu in one session. Thank you for the work you do VH.

I used to wrestle & was looking for something to help me get back into shape. I originally just thought of dropping in for the open mats & if I learned something cool. However I made the decision to join after being on the fence. I love the vibes, the members and staff, plus the name really grabbed my attention. I am very proud to be a student of professor Mitch, head coach Josh, coach Chris & coach Will (even though he's no longer there he was my first teacher when I started coming). I advertise as much as I can for the academy and will talk to anyone about it. Come join our Violent Hippie commune & learn to be kind, or else

Stopped in during a business trip on the referral from one of Mitch’s old teammate. Great facility- great attitudes-wonderful people-outstanding training! Will definitely stop in again whenever I am in this neck of the woods. Cheers from San Diego/Ramona MMA!

The violent hippie is an awesome dojo to train in. Coach Josh has created a friendly and professional atmosphere that makes it super easy to learn. His skill at BJJ and instructing are phenomenal. I dropped in for a week and left feeling like it was my new gym! 10/10 would recommend that you come check it out.
