Rachel Garcia
"Such a family-friendly gym. My kids are always welcomed with smiles and encouragement. Every student is pushed to be their best and treated as family, not just a student. I’m glad to be apart of the community and love having my children around such incredible people!"
Stephen Jerome
"Vitals brothers is hands down the best gym in the Mountain Home area. I have trained at more gyms than I can count and I still commute from Boise every week to train with the VBJJ team. Professor JP is a dedicated and knowledgeable instructor with a legitimate lineage. He is constantly traveling, competing, and advancing his skills to provide and maintain the best training for his students. The gym environment is super friendly and welcoming, and there’s always tough rolls and great competitors to train with. In regards to the littles, the gym boasts one of the best kids programs in the valley, accommodating everyone from hobbyists, to competitors, to those interested in building a foundation of self defense. If you recently moved to the area, are just passing through, or looking to start your jiu jitsu journey I cannot recommend this gym enough."

Naudia Quitugua
"My son has trained under this Gym for almost 4 years and we have had nothing but positive experiences. This gym fosters the whole package. It teaches the art & skill of Jiujitsu under qualified leadership, builds character, instills discipline, and is 100% accommodating to the needs of my son and our family dynamics. The Vital Brothers of Mountain Home gym has become a part of our family. Not only do I take my son there, but I highly recommend this place to the parents of my students in our town."
