Kayla Melendez
"This is the first activity EVER that my son truly enjoys attending! For the first time last night, I took him and was highly impressed. The coaches truly pour into these kids the first. It’s really cool to see!"
RyanOneil Ellis
"Excellent training facility for both adults and kids. The staff provides plenty of support for children on the mat, ensuring a positive learning experience. I attended a wrestling session and was impressed by the quality of techniques and drills. Highly recommended."
Mark Mattson
"Outstanding facility! Amazing people! Fantastic technique and fast paced fun learning environment. Welcomed from the front door all the way to every single student in class, and it was a large class. Professor Rubén and Frank, thank you for the awesome hospitality! The ride back to Tulsa is gonna be rough after that gorilla squad."
LeAnthony Bell
"I was in Odessa training for work, out of Dallas. I contacted Vagabind about training while I was away from home. I was invited by Josh to come and train. When I arrived the employee at the front desk was friendly and professional and so nice. The professor at here in knowledgeable and professional and all the students were helpful. No egos here just guys and girls ready to train. The gym and mats were super clean as well as the bathrooms. Top tier gym."
