Vow is a great place to train BJJ for any level. They have a very friendly atmosphere, clean mats, and great instructors. I couldnt recommend it more.

Incredible academy!! Ive trained at 100+ academies due to traveling for missionary work, and this academy stands out beyond words. I worked with Professor David, and I cannot speak highly enough of this academy. He has such a passion for teaching, and took the time to really break down the academy and meet me where Im at in my journey. Teachers like him are very rare. And the talent level here is off the charts. Its an academy full of gentle beasts. I cannot recommend this place enough. It has everything: unbelievable teaching, humility, family vibes, and skill levels. Check it out and dont hesitate!

Excellence in teaching matters more than anything, and VOW has truly exceptional teachers. Ryan, the head teacher, sweeter than sugar itself, is not only a master of the craft, but he makes training a pure joy and delight. Theres Alex and Andrew who want you to learn and share in their enthusiasm and wont beat you up most of the time. And theres even a little handsome fella who runs around knowing things and sweeping you silly. Just a purely delightful training space with cats from all walks of life. Do yourself the favor.

I feel very lucky that I chose VOW as my gym to start training in BJJ. The coaches are professional and knowledgable but classes are still easy going. The atmosphere is relaxed and very welcoming of newcomers. I’ve been going for about two years now and can’t imagine switching. There’s also plenty of high level players for more advanced grapplers looking for a new place to train.

Best gym Ive ever joined. The instructors are patient and passionate about teaching BJJ. There are plenty of classes to jump into like No-Gi fundamentals, Flow Mobility, Boxing, and Leg Locks. My kids are also in the Kids Jiu-Jitsu class. Jiu-Jitsu is both mentally and physically challenging for children, and its fun. The best thing about this gym is the culture. The students are very accommodating in helping each other. Theres plenty of training partners. The gym is also very welcoming to visitors both locally and out-of-towners. V.O.W. BJJs built a nice community.

I came to visit from Cleveland OH and reached out to the gym owner Ryan Villalobos ahead of time. He was very kind and communicative and welcomed myself and my boyfriend in for a drop-in class. We came early and got to watch the kids class beforehand which was well-taught and an absolute joy to watch! Mylo and Chapa taught the kids class and were very knowledgeable and professional instructors. We joined for leglock fundamentals right into advanced nogi leg locks. Andrew and another instructor who I never caught the name of did an outstanding job of going over the basics and helping the class through the techniques. The owner Ryan taught advanced and did a great job of delivering several techniques in a succinct way. He also was very kind and professional and helpful with all students through the techniques. The gym culture was very kind and welcoming and I felt very safe and included at all times. There was also a solid number of women on the mats compared to what I am used to, there was 5 the day I went. 5/5 will be back next time we are in Austin TX! Thank you for having us Professor !

Ryan is the real deal! Humble, knowledgeable, perpetual student and teacher. I have trained with him for years, but his new gym is very clean and great mats. The atmosphere and the students are welcoming, so I dont have to worry about getting injured and not being able to go to work in the morning. I feel comfortable that my kids can train here when they are old enough.

The environment at VOW BJJ is so helpful to my new found practice of jui-jitsu. It’s non-intimidating and relaxed yet supportive for focus and practice. The teachers treat each person with respect and give their students clear instruction on how to safely roll. For a beginner, I am grateful to have found a place where I can effectively learn.

Ive been training with Ryan for 4 years. His understanding of jiu-jitsu is world class! The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming, clean and open. If youre looking to get in shape(Ive lost 50lbs), learn jiu-jitsu or improve your game, look no further. Try it out!
