Fantastic first experience at Victory MMA on midway. My girlfriend and I attended the beginners Muay Thai class led by Hubert Martinez and we had an absolute blast! We were intimidated walking in having never been in any gym, especially an mma gym but we must say Martinez made the entire experience absolutely wonderful. He took time to work with us on our techniques and teach us in such a genuinely kind way. We can't wait to continue learning from him! Facility is absolutely top notch: super modern and new equipment, very clean, and the front desk staff were very helpful, no high pressure sales staff or anything! They offer a ton of different classes from kickboxing, jujitsu, Muay Thai and more for all skill levels. 10/10 suggest! Hope to see you there! - Jared & Jen

I wish I lived in San Diego so I could train here regularly. I got to drop in while on vacation and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and inviting and the instructor of the beginner Jiu-Jitsu classes was amazing. Geo pointed out all the importance intricacies of the move we were working on and it was so helpful. Thank you everybody at victory MMA for being so welcoming.

While visiting San Diego with my family I attended one of the 6:30 am no gi classes. This was the first time I’ve visited another gym and the experience was outstanding! There were about 25 people at the class and all were very welcoming including the front desk receptionist. I thoroughly enjoyed the instruction and the rolls afterwards. It was well worth the trip and highly recommend if you’re visiting.

Know Dean from when I was in the Army. He does a lot of really great philanthropic work in that area. I can't say enough good things about Dean & everyone who trains at Victory. Anytime I'm in San D I go here
