What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jean-Guy Dupuis
"From the moment I walked in the door, the young lady behind the desk was very friendly and welcoming. I got there early but within 5 minutes of being there Achilles came to introduce himself. Professor Rocha introduced himself right at the beginning of class and is the nicest most welcoming person. Some of the big boys grabbed me and said hey, and we hit it off and got some great training in. Finished the night with a photo with Vagner and Gilbert Burns. If you are anywhere in Florida and want to stop for Great jiu-jitsu with a fantastic vibe. This is the place"
Petra Manzoli
"We transferred to VRMA from another gym where we were very happy approximately one year ago. Coming from a small gym we were not expecting the wonderful and caring environment we found at VRMA, considering it’s a big gym. But the owners, Vagner’s family, and all the coaches are incredible and they are helping the kids progress in their Jiu Jitsu journey. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an advanced competitor, at VRMA you will find the best training in town. Vagner personally attends and teaches most of the classes, he is a great teacher patient and tough at the same time, and he really cares about his students. All the other coaches are World champions with a lot of coaching experience and every one of them has something special to teach. We couldn’t be happier and we highly recommend VRMA to family and friends. If you are in town come visit, because visitors are always welcome and you might end up training with one of the visiting jiu jitsu celebrities that are often seen around."
Keshav Reddy
"For the year I was there, never been around the nicest people to also be the toughest grapplers at the same time. Amazed by the level of talent, but if you’re a student at the academy, they’ll treat you like family. Atmosphere made me want to be better on and off the mat, God bless!"
Jesse Tripp-Wade
"We enrolled our almost 4yo little girl here after her first free trial session. I fell in love immediately! The coaches are so patient and kind. I am so thrilled to have her going here. It is a little pricey but if you think about all the benefits that come from your kid being a part of this it's priceless. Not only do they teach self defense, the self discipline and respect that one gathers is immeasurable. I wish I was in it when I was young. I will be part of the grown up classes as well one day soon. I firmly believe it would have saved me so much heartache and pain. Anyway! My little one goes here and I can't be happier with the place and all who are in it. Thank you VRMA!"
