Looking for a solid, local fight gym I found Viking Academy and reached out about a trial run. Professor Williams got back to me almost immediately and invited me in for a day of BJJ & Muay Thai. While sometimes joining a new gym can be intimidating, that was not the case at Viking. From minute one everyone in the gym was welcoming, respectful and interactive. Professor Williams was methodical, clear and attentive in his teaching. Felt awesome to roll again. The Muay Thai lesson that followed BJJ was much the same. Coach Larry was again attentive, helpful and welcoming in his approach. From top to bottom the gym oozes dedication and camaraderie. While I do have martial arts experience I get the sense that, unlike other gyms that claim the same, true beginners would be welcome here alongside anyone else. No contracts or cancellation fees, no undue commitments, I signed up immediately for a month-by-month membership. Included access to what appears to be an excellent powerlifting gym at Mt. Vernon Barbell was icing on the cake. Can't wait to get back on the mats.

I'm new to these classes and I can honestly say since the first day I enjoyed myself. Steven and Larry are so kind and helpful and they really care deeply about their teachings. Everyone else in the classes are super nice and welcoming and it's a comfortable atmosphere all around. I was nervous at first about how I'd look preforming the techniques since I have no knowledge of BJJ and Kickboxing but everyone smiles and offers tricks and tips and it's encouraging. No intimidation at all. I really love it, I am excited to continue to grow in the class and spread the word

Not to long ago a friend of mine who has been training with Professor Steve for the last 4 years referred me to the viking academy and set me up with a one class trial. I was skeptical that i would get a good feel on the club with only a one class trial but only after one class I instantly knew that this was my new home. Having been to two other BJJ Clubs in the past for about year each and extensive experience with several of the best wrestling clubs in the country I was able to identify early on just how good of an instructor Professor Steve is. He has a vast technical knowledge as well as a great strategic mind for competitive coaching. His cerebral coaching style mixed with great work ethic makes for excellent instruction. The room itself is always clean as a whistle and is filled with nice and hard working athletes. Every one of coach Steve's athletes are motivated and usually working towards a goal. Having entering the academy my interests were strictly based in BJJ but since meeting coach Larry I feel encouraged and safe putting gloves on and trying my hands at striking. In the past I always struggled with hitting pads and making combinations but coach Larry really takes his time to make sure that i get the time and attention to progress upon this new path. All in all I can not say enough about this place and am happy to of found a new home.

The Viking Academy is not only a place to train in martial arts it is a place where you can better yourself in many ways. For your physical, mental, and spiritual health. Coaches Steven and Larry are two of the nicest and most respectful teachers you can ask for. They understand that everybody grows at a different rate and they really care about the growth of the individual as well as the classroom. I have been training with the viking academy for a little over 4 months now and my knowledge on martial arts has increased ten fold. I set a goal for myself to enter the ring and compete in MMA. The viking academy has made my goal feel achievable. Whether you want to train for health, self defense, or high level competition reason. The viking academy is the gym you need to train at! I am proud the call myself #vikingfam !!!

Steven Williams is just so God damn handsome.

I can’t speak highly enough about the instruction you will receive and the instructor you will be receiving it from

World class instructors and great training partners. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to train BJJ or MMA!
