Valor Training Center

Great place for adults and children, staff is very friendly and the coaches are second to none. This place has changed my daughter life and I’m grateful we found this place. Go in and check them out!!!

I love Valor Training Center. They have great staff and knowledgable trainers and coaches who take time to make sure you are doing the moves correctly. I definitely suggest you go here

Wonderful place to take your children for martial arts. Tony, Cliff, Lauren and all the others are very patient yet assertive and fun but strict. My son has many deficiencies due to sensory processing issues and is very inattentive yet he likes it here. All the coaches take their time to tell him every step because he gets lost easy. I love how all the children are tought to be respectful and orderly. Since my son is homeschooled and has delays, I wanted a place where he interacted with other children in a safe environment while learning valuable lessons.

I have been training for nearly half a year and the staff and teachers are great. You will improve if you constantly go, these people open up to you and are dedicated to teach you correctly. These people are the real deal highly recommended training here for beginners. They take the time to mold you into a true nak muay.

I love it!!! My son has a problems in focusing and the staff is amazing! They redirect him in a positive way and he is very happy to come to class. I am so excited I found this place!

There aren’t enough good things to say about VTC. Everyone here; the owner, coaches, front desk staff, and students are warm and welcoming. It can be intimidating trying something new, something you’ve never done before. But VTC is a comfortable and supportive place to be.
That being said, the classes make you put in work. The coaches are knowledgeable and take the time to explain techniques/​proper form. They will push you to be better in whatever it is you’re training in/​for. The combination of what they offer go hand-​in-​hand and there is something for every one; from cardio to martial arts to self defense.
Joining the Valor family was the best decision I have made for myself this year and recommend it to anyone else looking for their happy place.

I would definitely recommend Valor training Center to anyone interested in learning self defense or just getting a great workout. My wife and I have both been training here and have appreciated the knowledgeable instructors as well as the respect that everyone has shown since we started. Valor Training Center definitely deserves 5 stars in our opinion.

The best martial arts and all around fitness place in Stockton! Everybody is super friendly and polite. Everybody, from the staff to the regulars, treat you like family. The coaches are attentive and know exactly how to guide you to your potential.
The arts they teach here are top notch. The Muay Thai is traditional, not any of that kickboxing mma type stuff. This is real legit Muay Thai. The Krav Maga and escrima are legit as well.
I honestly could not recommend a better place to learn a martial art or to get in shape in all of Stockton.

Great style, great location, wonderful coaches, very kid/​family friendly and always progressing. Pat and team are building a jewel in Stockton. Come by and check it out for yourself!

Great gym! Made me and my husband feel like family the first time we were there! Different levels of training from beginner to fighter! Awesome experience check them out!

This a great place Muay Thai (kick-​boxing) for both kids and adults in Stockton. It’s a family friendly, supportive atmosphere with fantastic coaches. Whether you’re into getting in shape, self defense, or competing, you can’t beat this place. The kids learn not only technique, but are constantly reminded about respect and discipline. I’m proud to be part of the Valor family.

Valor is one of the best gyms around! My daughter started on a trial basis, and soon wanted to quit gymnastics (which she has been in for 4 years) in order to spend more time at Valor. She loves her coaches and always leaves with a smile, no matter how hard they work her. Valor teaches listening skills, focus, independence and discipline. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an extracurricular for their kids!

Awesome place to train!!! What a great environment they have… The staff makes you feel right at home and you feel like you’re a part of the family. Don’t be intimidated if this is your first time taking martial arts like myself… You go at your own pace. I’m fortunate to have some awesome coaches from coach Tony, coach Cliff, coach Farron, coach Robert, coach Lauren, and Kru Patrick. They will teach you and push you to become a better version of yourself. With that said I’ve lost 10lbs. In one month, gained knowledge of basic muay thai techniques, and improved on my cardio. So what are you waiting for??? Try it out!!! Have fun!!! And become part of our family!!! :)

Valor is an amazing Muay Thai academy. I have been a practitioner for a few years and have visited many gyms. They have a traditional style of practice but also cater to the person who wants to come in to lose weight, get in shape, gain confidence in themselves, or even gain knowledge in the art of self-​defense. There are no judgements what-​so-​ever when you walk in these doors. The coaches are wonderful, and a good bit of them have ring experience. Kru Patrick Rivera (the head coach and business owner) is knowledgeable, patient, and always positive. My favorite attribute that he possesses is his unwavering passion for Muay Thai. He is more than willing to share that passion with as many people as possible. Coach Tony Dominguez is wonderful with the kids, and teaches them in such a way that these children become disciplined young adults. Coach Robert Riberal will give you the best gas tank you will ever have with his Cardio Bag Rush (CBR) classes. The whole team/​staff exudes positive mental attitudes and gives all of us the gusto to help build the empire, and I’m totally on board.

When I was about ⁸⁄₉ years old, my parents enrolled me in Martial Arts here in Stockton. Being 23 years old now, I wished Valor Training Center was around when I was younger. But needless to say, I have fallen in love with the sport of Muay Thai (known as the Art of 8 Limbs.) If it weren’t for the owner Kru Patrick Rivera & the head Coach Tony Dominguez I wouldn’t have been able to grow as a martial artist & had built up the courage to step into the ring.
I have been training at Valor Training Center since March of 2013 & I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The atmosphere is wonderful! I honestly can’t say anything but positive things about this place. From the other members here, to the staff, everyone is so welcoming from the moment you step in the door. Most gyms stink of sweat & nasty things, but this place is always clean & does not have the sweaty, nasty smell.
This academy not only teaches kids to adults, but they teach respect & value & also courage! I thought I would just want to learn the art & not step into the ring. But the coaches have helped me build up the courage to step into the ring. They have helped guide me to train my body mentally, physically & emotionally.
I love Valor Training Center!

Valor Training Center — Cardio Bag Rush (CBR) is a great class and a first-​rate workout.
Bob gave excellent instructions and made nice transition to the various movements. The hour goes by fast and you will be sore the next day! The instructors are great motivators, energetic, incredibly knowledgeable and upbeat. They take the time to show new students how to execute properly. You don’t see that type of support and care at most places. The class are fun and there’s a great sense of camaraderie amongst the students and instructors. Great music too to keep you going!
If you want to get fit, relive some stress and hit something. Go check out Valor Training Center HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. IT KICKED MY BUTT!

VTC is one of the best physical training establishments, I’ve experienced. Very versatile!.. from boxing to grappling, and my personal favorite. the art of Muay Thai!.Highly knowledgable coaches and friendly staff!.. if you’re looking to shed some lbs. why not learn an awesome martial art discipline in the process!.. excellent stress reliever in the cardio bag rush classes.
Awesome curriculum for kids and teens! Great for instilling confidence and focus!
The perfect defense/​offense against bullying! SAWADEE KHUP!

Valor Training Center in my opinion is the best Muay Thai training facility for all ages in Northern California. The Instructors are very professional and extremely knowledgeable. My daughter has been with Valor for over 2 years. She has shown tremendous progression in Muay Thai since she has started. I highly recommend this academy. Kru Patrick is the best Muay Thai instructor I have encountered. And my daughter loves coach Toni’s sense of humor which makes Muay Thai exciting and fun for the kids of all ages.

Many of my friends have asked me what Valor Training Center is and as most would expect I give a brief description of it being a training center for Muay Thai Kickboxing, which offers classes for all ages. But for those that have experienced it know that I become very animated and passionate about what VTC really is… A little over a year ago I stepped foot into the facility being greeted by Kru Patrick and the coaches «Swadee Mindie» lol makes me smile even writing this. welcoming my son and I into this super positive and incredibly encouraging family. It is so much more than just a gym. Throughout my time here I have found how important taking time for myself really is. Coming into class some days a ball of emotion, leaving feeling like I just kicked ass and lifted all the stress off of my shoulders. I can’t even put words to the amazing way it makes me feel. Cardio kick boxing has helped me maintain long lean muscle tone but even more important was helped me gain focus, confidence and mental strength to face life with my head up high (Knowing that my left kick could do some major damage to whatever steps in my way)! From the elbows to the hooks from the squats to the burpees, I love everything that my coach challenges me with knowing that the results are going to be amazing! Lol I love my experience at Valor and encourage any one to come and see for themselves how awesome it really is!!!

Truly my family’s 2^nd home.
Our 3 children ranging from ages 8, 13 and 18 are currently enrolled for muay thai 2 months after the facility opened in Jan 2012. This place must have started about 20 people and to this date, it must have quadrupled in half a year that they had to move to its current bigger location (and still growing).
Going on our 2^nd year this spring, we’ve seen this place grow and have seen the transformation to a lot of the students especially the fight team. A lot of the students have lost tremendous weight, built confidence and has found friendship in the process. I know this because I see the camaraderie amongst the group, you walk in and someone always welcomes you with «Sawadee Khup» and the coaches always calls you by your name. Oftentimes, you’ll see parents with their children in the same classes together.
I seldom go to the CBR or cardio bag rush or in another term, is the conditioning class. This is a separate class from muay thai and this is especially pushed in order for the muay thai fighters build the stamina for the fights. This class is being taught Tuesday & Thursday evenings and on Saturday mornings at 8:30. This is one class I enjoy going to & sweat really good while at the same time, I feel like I get to release my stress by punching and kicking the bags under the watchful eye of the coaches.
This is by far the best place in Stockton for this specialized area in martial arts, very family oriented, only HUMBLE people you’ll encounter here, no wonder it got nominated in the San Joaquin’s Best magazine just after a year in business… check it out!!!
