Victor is a Houston Police Officer and Revolution Dojo Student – “My training at Revolution Dojo has not only helped me grow as a person, but has also gotten me out of a few nasty situations I’ve encountered as a police officer. In one of several instances, the Jiu Jitsu training I have received at Revolution allowed me to fight my way from underneath a suspect that was much larger than myself and who attacked me by surprise. Instead of having to strike the suspect or even shoot him when he overpowered me and tried to take my gun, I was able to apply the skills I’ve learned. I walked away without a bruise, and the suspect went to jail with a minor injury instead of a gunshot wound. At 150 lbs, I am not a big guy. This stuff works!”

“I am so proud and honored to have been a part of Revolution Martial Arts and Jeff Messina since the beginning. I received my Black Belt from Rodrigo Medeiros on a hot august Saturday morning in ’05 under the roof of Revolution Martial Arts and it is the place that forged my jiu-jitsu and MMA skills. Jeff Messina has been a brother in arms to me in many fights and competitions. I truely believe that without Jeff Messina I would have never achieved my Black Belt and would not be a UFC fighter today. When I am in Houston it is without question that I sharpen my skills with Jeff and his team at Revolution Martial Arts. I hope to see you on the mats there one day soon!!!”
