You Want to Hit All Your Jiu-jitsu Goals.

That means getting stronger, faster, more mobile, and more powerful.

But you feel a little lost in the gym.

You’re not sure where to start,
which exercises to do,
how much to do them,
or when to do them.

Sound Familiar?

You’re sick of being injured and in pain all the time
You want to get stronger but don’t want to sacrifice valuable time on the mats
You run yourself into the ground lifting weights 5x/week but end up sore, exhausted, and not much stronger

Meet the Founder

Matt Guffey

Hey there! I’m Matt, and I’m changing the way strength training is done for Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes.

I know, that’s a bold claim. How do I know I can help you?

Because I’ve helped hundreds of BJJ athletes get the freedom to move as they please and the power to take on any challenge.

As a coach of 17 years and a brown belt under Caio Terra, I’ve seen countless BJJ practitioners get tossed all over the mats. People of all shapes, sizes, and ages — even naturally athletic people with a history of lifting.

I’ve seen my training partners struggle with nagging injuries and miss out on valuable training time.

I’ve seen them lose to opponents they should have beat because of strength.

And I’ve seen all of that disappear… once they committed to efficient, effective strength training at Victory Submission Strength.

I know technique is important, but I’ve seen super technical athletes get smashed by stronger technical opponents.

I knew there had to be a better way.

I became obsessed with learning everything I could about the best ways to gain strength and mobility for BJJ.

Now, my mission in life is to help other jiu-jitsu athletes bulletproof their bodies and win more matches.

How do I do this?

By creating customized, easy-to-follow strength training programs for BJJ athletes like you. Based on your goals, your injury history, and your current level.
