Vagner Rocha Martial Arts

For the year I was there, never been around the nicest people to also be the toughest grapplers at the same time. Amazed by the level of talent, but if you’re a student at the academy, they’ll treat you like family. Atmosphere made me want to be better on and off the mat, God bless!

We transferred to VRMA from another gym where we were very happy approximately one year ago. Coming from a small gym we were not expecting the wonderful and caring environment we found at VRMA, considering it’s a big gym. But the owners, Vagner’s family, and all the coaches are incredible and they are helping the kids progress in their Jiu Jitsu journey. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an advanced competitor, at VRMA you will find the best training in town. Vagner personally attends and teaches most of the classes, he is a great teacher patient and tough at the same time, and he really cares about his students. All the other coaches are World champions with a lot of coaching experience and every one of them has something special to teach. We couldn’t be happier and we highly recommend VRMA to family and friends. If you are in town come visit, because visitors are always welcome and you might end up training with one of the visiting jiu jitsu celebrities that are often seen around.

We enrolled our almost 4yo little girl here after her first free trial session. I fell in love immediately! The coaches are so patient and kind. I am so thrilled to have her going here. It is a little pricey but if you think about all the benefits that come from your kid being a part of this it's priceless. Not only do they teach self defense, the self discipline and respect that one gathers is immeasurable. I wish I was in it when I was young. I will be part of the grown up classes as well one day soon. I firmly believe it would have saved me so much heartache and pain. Anyway! My little one goes here and I can't be happier with the place and all who are in it. Thank you VRMA!

Why VRMA? Short answer: Martial Arts could save your life. I will spare you all the details of my experience. However, I was followed home early one morning. Someone tried breaking into my house. Upon quickly accessing the situation, I made a decision to act. I was able to detain the criminal until police arrived. With the training I received at VRMA I was able to stop the threat and protect my loved ones. In the moment all I could think about was my family. With the skills I acquired, my body acted out of muscle memory. I started training for various reasons… One day I decided to take a leap of faith and start a new journey. Whatever your reason…. I can sincerely say… you will not regret learning martial arts from this academy. If I ever had doubts before about being able to defend my family…. I know for a fact that I can protect them. (FYI: I’ve only trained for over a year and half) Stay deadly and come train! Thanks VRMA for the life saving training. -James P.
