What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Dayanna Camere

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently attended a women’s self-defense seminar with The Valor Academy Team, and it was an empowering and eye-opening experience! The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and approachable, creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone. They focused on practical techniques that are easy to remember and apply, even for beginners. What stood out most was their emphasis on building confidence and situational awareness, not just physical skills. I left feeling more prepared, both mentally and physically, to protect myself in real-life situations. Highly recommend this seminar to all women—it’s an investment in your safety and peace of mind. Thank you, Valor Academy, for an incredible experience!"

Jeremy Salazar

"I’ve had the pleasure of training at Victory Jiu Jitsu during my travels, and I must say, this gym stands out! The instructor excels at simplifying instructions and emphasizing key concepts of techniques, making it easy for everyone to follow along. As someone who travels constantly for work, I’ve trained at numerous gyms, and this has to be one of the best instructors I’ve encountered. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is supportive. Highly recommend Victory Jiu Jitsu for anyone looking to improve their skills and enjoy a great training environment!"

Thomas

"Started Jui Jitsui about two years ago and have trained with Levi and Valor Acedemy since. Levi is an awesome instructor and you get a lot of personal instruction. As far as atmosphere, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and there is good competition of various levels of experience."

Mr.Fancypants83

"The training I get with Levi is phenomenal! He has a true passion for the art and sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Have never had someone put this much time in helping people grow, not only physically, but mentally as well!"
