Fantastic experience: Been coming here regularly for just over a year and have really enjoyed the community, learned a lot, and really levelled up my fitness. The variety of classes have been a lot of fun, and the class composition is a good mix – everywhere from beginner to experienced. The coaches are approachable and the atmosphere has always been friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: My son attended VMA for the kids classes for 3 years, then graduated to the adult class for 2 years. In that time he sprouted up 12-14" in height. That can be a difficult thing for a teenager. To suddenly have all that height and the awkwardness with it. On top of that, you have the normal insecurities of just being a teenager. Training with a solid martial arts gym and instructor can help a kid feel comfortable in their growing body. It helps to teach them how to carry themselves and move with limbs they are not used to. It also provides them with the training to help them feel confident in situations that they might normally shy away from, or give into. Rob, and the coaches at VMA have done a great job with instruction, training and mentorship for my son as he enters into the next phase of his life and work. It is something we will always be appreciative of.

Simon Gelderman Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I trained at vma for 5 months before moving out of vic and i cannot recommend it enough! Having no martial arts experience prior, I was a little nervous about starting boxing. But i was welcomed warmly by Rob and the other coaches. The gym has plenty of equipment and space for individual training and group classes no matter your fitness level. Thanks Rob!

Siddharth Raol Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's great experience. Excellent coaches, good people & positive environment for everyone. They run 7 days a week which is great because not so many gyms in the city have class for 7 days. No ego, people respect each other and practice at highest level. Should give it a try once who never been there.

Michelle Schaffner Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great coaches and very welcoming people who train at Victoria martial arts! It was awesome to get a few training sessions in, while I was in Victoria for visiting some friends. I loved the teaching style and how clean the facility was. Even though I usually train on the other side of the world, I felt very comfortable from the first practice on! I would definitely go back to train at Victoria martial arts, if I‘ll be back in Victoria one day!

Andy Guevara Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I trained at Victoria Martial Arts for a year and my experience was amazing. Although they don't have beginner classes, everybody is welcoming and patient. Rob keeps the gym extremely clean - the mats were recently replaced (and the previous ones weren't even old!). I'll miss VMA, I hope to be back soon.

Sandra Janzen Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tremendous accolades to Rob and the coaches at VMA, a stellar group! Shout out to coach Jeremiah for his dedication, without him I would be obese and depressed ! Also can't Rave enough about coach Bryan who pushes and motivates me to my limits and Beyond! Gold stars for their Golden coaching! I strongly advise anyone looking to change their life to begin with a healthy, positive restart at VMA! Truly Transformative

Brix Mas Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: VMA offers all around great everything. The price is a steal, the coaches are informative, always around and show care in their skill sharing and keeping the space tip top. Plenty of skills to learn and a great way to feel the burn

Will ro Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Every time i come to improve myself I have the coaches behind me supporting my journey aswell as my peers who support me, they are really actually amazingly dedicated to improving me.

Fantastic experience: VMA has a great atmosphere, coaches like Kip and Ross who really care about teaching proper form, technique and the Owner Rob is a local Víctorian who really cares about developing and growing his gym the right way.

Niall Jones Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've knocked around a few gyms due to moving around a lot and these guys know how to create a good vibe. No sign of any weird egos, experienced coach, basically exactly what you want in a learning environment. Also, first lesson is free, even got offered a second but got a membership instead!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great trainers, great people.

Ben Gnoinski Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes at VMA for just under a month. I wanted to get in shape and treadmills bore me. I walked into VMA with no previous experience, not knowing anyone, and Coach Rob introduced himself and welcomed me in right away. All of the coaches and other students have been extremely patient with me while going through basics and drills. I can tell everyone really wants to help me succeed. I have never sweat so much in my life and have no doubt with VMAs help I will hit my fitness goals in no time. Thank you Coach Rob, Coach Tristan, and Coach Ross!

Geoff Soch Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My current fitness goals were simple, stay fit and have fun. Victoria Martial Arts was the answer. I had been attending kickboxing classes at the local YMCA but wanted to take it to the next level, so a friend referred VMA. Coach Rob and his team are experienced and have been training fighters of all levels achieve their goals. I look forward to seeing my accomplishments a year from now.
