TRADITIONAL MEETS MODERN: SELF DEFENSE & AWARENESS SKILLS FOR THE REAL WORLD

You may have experienced boredom with your usual fitness routine or reached a plateau in your performance or physical fitness results. Our adult programs are the perfect alternative to a boring gym routine, as they help you develop into your maximum potential both physically and mentally by providing real-life self-defense strategies in a fun, focused environment.

Anyone wanting to learn the art and science of authentic Muay Thai, this is the place. I’ve never met a more passionate, knowledgable, approachable, and dedicated Muay Thai coach/gym owner/mentor/trail blazer than Kru Patrick. And I’ve surveyed several Muay Thai Gyms on the West and East Coasts of the United States, Australia, Singapore, and have been living, training, and fighting in Thailand for the past two and a half years.

Being overweight has a lot of disadvantages; insecurities, lack of confidence. Valor Training Center is the only place that made me feel truly welcome. It's a place for all ages. It truly helps you develop a skill that will be utilized in life. The trainers are easy to work with. It's been so hard to stay consistent at any gym, but when you truly feel welcome like this place is to me, you truly miss it when you are not training. I've been going consistently now for three months and I can't wait to see the results a year from now. I tipped the scale at 300lbs when I came in. I'm at 250 and dropping with a consistent diet and being here as much as I can manage. Give it a try, it's truly fun!

Kru Patrick Rivera is a great coach who imparted to me useful, new and effective techniques. If you're in Northern California then I highly recommend training at VALOR Training Center! VALOR Training Center have great training facilities that are CLEAN, fully matted, including plenty of bags and a good size ring. They cater for people of all ages from kids up to adults of all levels. VTC is full of very nice, friendly and helpful people and it is a very good environment - no egos - simply good people.

I had no prior experience in martial arts training but every day that I attend i feel welcome by the instructors and students. When I train with other students, whether they have years more experience than me or just beginning, I feel like we are all on the same page and we give each other confidence- I am grateful every day i attend and glad that I went even if I don't really feel up to it that day.

Our entire family trains at Valor. It is a great environment and the coaches are amazing. They are not only knowledgeable, but they truly care about each individual. People check their egos at the door, which truly makes a positive atmosphere. I truly cannot say enough about the Valor experience.

Beautiful learning environment, classy people with a knack for teaching. The energy is so positive you can't help but to take it with you, I would recommend VTC to anybody living in the 209 area that is looking for a great structured Muay Thai class, they offer classes to kids and adults as well as newbies to advanced skill levels. In addition to that the Tiny Tigers is a great way to start teaching your little ones that there is way more to training/fighting than just punching and kicking the crap out of someone. Kru Patrick Rivera is a superior mentor in so many ways, please give them a shot and chok dee to all that enquire!!

I really admire the fact that it has a very family oriented atmosphere. I was surprised how they knew my name on only the 2nd day I visited the training center. The way they teach is phenomenal! I highly recommend this place. This place is awesome compared to where I first learned Muay Thai.

Loralie Marcos Macasinag

Had a blast training here and learned a lot doing it. Muay Thai started taking over my life. I now have to force myself to stop shadowboxing in the shower so I don't waste water. If I owned a house I would remortgage it to pay for more classes and then let the bank foreclose it so I could live at VTC. Thank you to all my coaches (even you, Coach Julian), Kalea & Keoni, and my classmates; also sorry to Luciano for the worst final sparring session humanly possible, I hope your cup is still intact.

I'm a local to Stockton. I happen to also be a fight photographer. So with that, I get access to a lot of great Northern California gyms also get to photograph a lot of great venues. So maybe I'm an expert. By far one the top gyms in the area. Run by a passionate instructor Kru Patrick and his team are doing an excellent job in the community and for North American Muay Thai. Putting Stockton on the map for one of the most dominant gyms around. So if your living in the area and have any inclination for yourself or family to train in a great sport. Be sure to head to Valor you won't be sorry, maybe sore.

Awesome facility and training environment. If your goals is to learn self-defense, get in shape or compete, this is a great place to learn Muay Thai. Excellent family atmosphere, I highly recommend this place if you live in the Stockton area.

The first day I started training at VALOR, I remember being so shy because Muay Thai was very new to me. However, the instructors along with the other members there are so nice, respectful, and welcoming, that I never felt like a stranger. Now, I am going on my third year as part of the VALOR Family, and I do not plan on stopping! If you want more help with practicing, you can ask any instructor and they would be more than happy to help you and answer any questions you may have. I am a full-time college student, but I never want to miss a day of training and working out with the family and friends that I've made there at VALOR. This is where I go to relieve my stress and to have fun. I love being with VTC!

Cardio kickboxing has helped me maintain long lean muscle tone but even more importantly 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! I love my experience at Valor and encourage anyone to come and see for themselves how awesome it really is!!!

What I like about Valor is that they are all very respectful. Kru Patrick teaches his students respect towards others, themselves, and also our country. I also like how the coaches and Kru Patrick break down the movements, step-by-step, in their lessons to make sure their students are understanding everything well. Another plus with Valor is that they keep up with the gear in the academy. There aren’t any old, worn down, ripping bags or pads for their students to use. Valor makes sure to use what is best for their students.

Valor is a great academy to learn self-defense and respect. The classes have a great learning environment and everyone is friendly and they are always willing to help you train and practice.
