Vital Force Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness

Vital Force MMA was a perfect match for my boys ages 3 and 6. Coach Lee is absolutely incredible. He is so patient and kind and at the same strict, he keeps the kids well focused and disciplined! The lessons are quite affordable, all of their gear was included in their up front cost and classes are unlimited which is a huge plus. So thankful I found this place for my boys, he teaches them self respect, confidence, patience, how to communicate and when to defend yourself. Looking forward to sending my 2 year old once he shows he's ready in the future for Muay Thai. More...

Before I wrote a review I wanted to try out the school for a few months, this is now my third month with Vital Force. I started doing boxing at a local community gym which I went to for two years and I have to say, I learned more in one week here at Vital Force than I did in two years at the local community gym. The first day I came in, I was a little nervous as anyone would be, going to a new gym for the first time. I had previously emailed Lee to ask him about prices and for a schedule. His replies were prompt, friendly, and in no way did he pressure me to join, he just simply answered all my questions. After searching other local Muay Thai schools, his pricing and reviews seemed the best. So when I pulled myself to check out the school, I walked in my shoes and socks, unsure who Lee was and who I should be talking to. The second I walked in, all my nerves disappeared. I was warmly greeted by the students who told me come on in the room and Lee shook my hand and introduced himself to me.The school has a strong family feel, Lee and all his students are very friendly, welcoming, and patient. I did not have to go out of my way to start conversations as everyone was nice and welcoming enough to try to get to know me as opposed to treating me as the new guy. My advice though, skip the shoes and socks, just go in sandals.Lee himself as a teacher is phenomenal, he is a really intelligent guy, knows how to explain and break his teachings down for anyone to understand, and most importantly he is patient. Lee knows his stuff not only about fighting, but also about health. Not once have I ever felt stupid for not understanding how to do something or even for asking questions. Lee will literally sit next to you and tell you step by step how to get it right if you need it. The team does compete but Lee leaves it up to you if you want to fight or not.His HIIT classes, if you push yourself, will get you in shape quite quickly. I have always had the worst endurance and stamina growing up, but now, I can run without hating it, which is a huge accomplishment for me. I have noticed definition in my muscles that I never knew I had, it's so hard for me not to take a second look at myself when I walk past a mirror now. My concentration, self confidence, and all around feeling of well being have sky rocketed due not only to the Muay Thai and boxing classes, but also the HIIT classes, in which I am learning how to push myself and the importance of pushing my personal limits. I would recommend taking a before picture so you can see the results, I really wish I had, but I can literally feel my progression when I walk up steps or a steep hill and do not feel winded.Honestly, joining Vital Force has been one of the best investments and decisions I have made for myself. The skills and knowledge I learn that enable me to defend myself while having fun have been a good transformation in my life. I have become a lean mean fighting machine and am in great health too.

Want a good workout? Or want to get into mma, kickboxing, or Muay Thai? Well vital mma is the place to go. Kru Lemance is very knowledgable in all of the martial arts he teaches. I moved down from the Bay Area to chino hills and was looking for a mma gym to train at. Once I finally found vital, I knew this was the place to be. There is no "I wear affliction and tap out" ego here, just a bunch of fighters willing to learn and help their partner do better. I've done Muay Thai before, and all the things I learned from Lemance is still in my head. I would have to say this is one of the best mma gyms in the area. I had to move back to the Bay Area but anytime I'm down there, I'll need to stop by and train again. #TeamVitalMMA More...

(((((((Coach Lee is AWSOME!!!))))))I've had the opportunity to train with a few coaches in different gyms however coach lee really sets himself apart from the rest. His knowledge, teaching ability, and pure love for the sport is truly unmatched. From adults to kids you won't regret stoping by and taking a class it's a great environment with teammates that work together and push you to become better in every aspect. More...

I'm attend the classes here and since attending them for the past 6 months my resistance, strength and speed have all increase profoundly. It's also helped my feel more confident and sure of myself.  The environment is fun and everyone is very helpful, all the students attending the adult class are serious about the training but also understanding of the level of performance required at class. We all take care of each other but also push each other to do better. Teamwork is definitely code here. Coach Lee takes care of the students and gradually pushes you to do better according to your skill level.If you're eager to learn but just a bit nervous about the outcome, this location is excellent and i will recommend and keep recommending this location to anyone who wants to learn Mixed Martial Arts.

I've been coming here for several months now and Ill be honest, I don't really like it. My first week here everyone was too nice, Coach Lee's teaching techniques display too much experience, and the workouts seem to be too good. However, I do absolutely love it! This was the first place I came across when looking for my first trainer and I'm grateful for have coming here first. I wouldn't plan on going anywhere else now. After just a couple weeks, I already started feeling like part of a family. And each day what I look forward to most is coming to class. Couch lee is patient but also pushes us, we also all push each other, motivate each other, and look out for each other. Recently, I had torn my shoulder in a non related accident and even though I wasn't around for class anymore, Coach Lee was still thinking to send me information that might help me recover. This place is full of good people, who are all interested in helping each other improve physically and mentally. After a couple months break from my shoulder injury, I'm now back to training. I feel I've learned a lot in my short time here and I will continue my journey here so that I can at some point compete. If your looking for friends, this is the place. If your looking for a workout, this is the place. If your looking to learn skills and technique from an experienced or beginner standpoint, this is the place. I highly recommend joining team Vital Force. :) More...

I only wish that I had known about this place sooner! My 12-year-old son is currently a student at Vital Force MMA. During the three months that he has been a student here, my son has experienced a remarkable amount of progress.  I really couldn't be more pleased with the quality of training that my child is receiving from Coach Lemance (Lee).I find Coach Lee to be a highly knowledgeable, patient and encouraging teacher. He is also keenly observant and perceptive, which makes him very adept at adjusting his level and method of instruction to the individual need/ benefit of his students. As a parent, I look forward to seeing my son learn and grow under Coach Lee's tutelage at Vital Force MMA! More...

When I first came to this gym, my main source of exercising came from outdoor activities and basic exercise/weight training from a common gym (think 24 hour fitness). Coming to Vital Force, I was introduced to fitness though Muai Thai, Boxing, and MMA. I had never thought of exercising through this avenue, but after taking one class, I knew I would be returning. Coach Lemance is great at teaching the fundamentals of the sport, and providing a way to learn something new. Not only are you learning a skill, the constant movement and fitness the sport brings allows you to get a good workout in a fun way. Learning how to throw kicks and punches also has given me a great way to let my day-to-day stresses out and has increased my mental health. The Coach's attitude is great. He is patient and breaks everything down so you can really learn how to move correctly. His classes are welcoming as well, the classmates work together and help each other out. Shortly after I signed up for his class I decided to take some personal training for him as well. The guy knows his stuff. We discussed my diet and he helped me get on a good nutrition plan based on my goals. Our workouts have been EXTREMELY effective, my entire body structure has changed and I'm now in the best shape of my life. If you're looking for a place to train to fight, you should come here. If you're looking for a new way to get fit and exercise, you should come here. If you are looking for a family and sense of community, you should come here. This place has been such an impact on my life, I came in searching for a new way to get fit and gain a skill, and now I am considering a fight! This might not be your goal, and although there is no pressure to pursue the sport, the environment is stimulating and gives you a good sense of physical accomplishment. More...

One of the best places i have ever gone to.  The coach Lemance is well knowledgeable in what he teaches. Members are very friendly. Since i started working with coach Lemance i have lost around 60 pounds. He has helped me keep it down to which ihave always struggled with.  The muay thai, boxing, and MMA program are amazing. I have learned so much from it. He has helped me get so much knowledge and skill from the sport.  I went from not knowing anything to where i am able use it as self defense and coming close to a goal of mine to fight in an actual MMA match.   The price here is very affordable compared to other gyms. I have gone to other gy7ms where i was paying up to $600 a month to go once a week to train to practically paying  $100 a month where i can go 3 days a week and so much more in a month here then i have at other places.    I even got my son in there Saturday morning kids classes and he loves it.  It has helped him so much with staying focus, discipline and just a great way for him to stay active.    If your looking to lose weight, self defense, train to fight or just something to do I recommend Vital Force Mixed Martial Arts and fitness.
