What Our Students Say

Chris Alegria
"Valiant Academy is an amazing place, especially for families and kids. The coaches run a very disciplined program, but it’s always clear that their goal is much bigger than just teaching jiu-jitsu—they’re focused on building good people. You can tell they really care about the students both on and off the mats. There are a lot of kids, boys and girls, in the program, and the environment is incredibly positive and encouraging. It feels like a real family. If you’re looking for a place where your child (or you) can grow in both skill and character, this is it."
GEORGE AVILA
"Valiant Academy has been a true blessing for our family! From the moment we joined, the coaches made us feel like part of their family. The environment is friendly, respectful, and full of positive energy. They are excellent with kids patient, encouraging, and focused on teaching not just jiu-jitsu and wrestling, but also important values like discipline, respect, and family unity. Our son came from a different academy, and the difference is night and day. At Valiant, the support is real especially when it comes to competitions. The coaches genuinely care about their students’ growth and success, both on and off the mat. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be supported, challenged, and treated like family, Valiant Academy is it. We’re so thankful we made the switch"
