I’ve taken a couple of classes here and absolutely loved the environment. From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming and down to earth. The vibe on the mats is positive, focused, and respectful. The instructors are very professional but also super friendly and approachable, which makes learning so much better. You can tell they truly care about the students. Great place to train. Carlos UrquijoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This isn’t just an academy. This is what we call home. We came here looking for a gym but came out with a family instead. From each coach to members you will feel the want to grow better everyday. You will be push to the highest version of yourself and that’s what happened to me. The Rocha family will always have a spot in our hearts because of how much impact they have had in our lives. We thank you. Our faith has grown so much stronger because of them. Coach Adrian and Coach Jose will always push you to your true potential. And the vast amount of knowledge they have of Jiu Jitsu is incomparable to any other academy out there. High level kickboxing classes with coach Mike kept me wanting to come back because of his care to his students. We love Vagner Rocha Martial Arts and proud to represent them everywhere we go 🫂 Rodrigo FrancioniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place!!

We love VRMA! My son has been training here for only a few months and has learned so much already. His confidence has improved and his skills have grown significantly. The instructors are top-tier and extremely knowledgeable. We highly recommend VRMA and only wish we had started sooner! Jennifer WadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I walked into VRMA in August of 2024 with zero martial arts experience. I was out of shape and at 43 years old, unsure if bjj would be the right fit or if I was too old. I promised myself that I would give it at least 3 months. I lost almost 20lbs in the first 3 months, my mood improved and I gained confidence. Within 6 months my whole mindset shifted - my diet improved, I started some strength training and mobility exercises, I made new friends, my focus at work improved, I felt more energetic. Today, I know so much more than when I walked in the door, my self defense skills are becoming more sharp with each class and I am excited every day about this journey. The coaches and staff are so friendly and supportive; the environment is welcoming and positive. There is a place for people of all ages and skill levels at VRMA, whether you are a beginner or looking to advance your competitive career.
