REVIEWS AT VRMA HOLLYWOOD, FL
Branson BertassoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vanger is awesome, I would highly recommend him and the gym!!! Dean KingstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The VRMA gym offers the perfect balance of a friendly, welcoming environment and a highly competitive atmosphere that constantly pushes you to grow. The 6am classes in particular have challenged me to stay sharp, learn more, and bring my best every day. Beyond the training, I’ve made great friends and found the community I’d been looking for. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. Whether you’re just starting or already experienced, this is an amazing place to train! Aron YTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best, clean and specious gym with an amazing atmosphere and top-tier coaches.Coach Adrian is truly the best and makes every class engaging. My teammates and coaches are regular people with no egos. Any question I have Adrian always gives me a tangible advice of how to fix my game. I would recommend this bjj gym Brenden KardashTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to VRMA for the last 12 years even after moving myself many times. As many BJJ practitioners would know... traveling longer distances to go to a BJJ gym is only worth it for top class instruction. Despite there being a multitude of gyms in the area - I would never want to train anywhere else. The level of class of instruction at this gym is world renowned, yet they maintain a family-like atmosphere. It's also important to note that this is a FAMILY BUSINESS gym. Vagner's wife, son, and daughter, all take part in running this establishment and all of them are TRUE black belts. If you want a gym that's beginner friendly but will give you world class instruction all the way to being a black belt yourself - this is the place! Arscott GangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been training at VRMA for about 3 years now, if you’re looking for an environment where you can grow mentality, spirituality and physically this is the place. Not only does Vagner lead by example, his kids also compete and share all the knowledge to be the best version of yourself.I highly recommend VRMA if you’re a beginner or a person that competes regularly. pyThONTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been training at VRMA for a little under a year, and in that time she hasn’t just grown as an athlete — she has grown as a person. We didn’t come here just to “do a sport.” We came here to grow, progress, and compete at the highest level. And VRMA is exactly the kind of training environment where kids are shaped into real champions. Before VRMA, she didn’t have the opportunity to reach her potential — her previous gym simply didn’t have the level or the competition base she needed. Here, thanks to the work of Vagner, Jasmine, and Adrian, she made a huge leap forward: confidence, discipline, technique, mindset — the progress is visible in everything. The results speak louder than any opinion: ADCC Nationals 2025 — Gold Pan Kids 2025 — Gold 42 medals in total This isn’t “luck” — it’s the outcome of consistent effort from both the coaches and the athlete. VRMA is not just a gym. It’s a development environment. Here, a child learns not only how to win on the mats, but how to build character — discipline, work ethic, respect, focus, and inner strength. The atmosphere is warm and team–oriented; the kids become friends, support each other, and grow together. I’ve seen the coaches work with the kids up close — they don’t just “show up,” they are truly invested. They correct technique, guide through mistakes, teach strategy, and hold the kids to a standard that produces real growth. As parents, that commitment is something we value deeply. If you are looking for a place where your child will be taught how to win, not just “stay busy,” VRMA delivers real results. And we are grateful to the entire team for their dedication and support.
