"Great group of people in a family friendly environment. Can’t recommend enough"
Joseph Kendall
"Joining Vigilance Martial Arts has been one of the most transformative decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed into a community that feels more like family than a gym. The instructors—especially Wesley Reynolds and Todd Vance—are not only highly skilled but genuinely passionate about helping each student grow in confidence, discipline, and strength. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned martial artist, the classes are thoughtfully structured to challenge and inspire. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training is top-notch, combining effective techniques with a supportive and respectful environment that encourages personal growth. Thanks to this incredible program, I’ve lost over 50 pounds—and gained back energy, mental clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. This isn’t just training—it’s transformation. Even more rewarding has been watching my son Eden thrive. His confidence has skyrocketed since joining Vigilance, and he’s already earned tournament wins that reflect not just his skill, but his dedication and heart. Seeing him step onto the mat with focus and pride has been one of the greatest joys of my life. What sets Vigilance apart is their commitment to development beyond the mats. I’ve seen kids become bully-proof, adults rediscover their fitness, and entire families bond through training. The facility is clean, the schedule is flexible, and the energy is contagious. If you’re looking for a place to train, grow, and connect with incredible people—this is it. Vigilance Martial Arts doesn’t just teach martial arts; it builds leaders, cultivates resilience, and changes lives."
