⚔️ THE NEXT CHAPTER BEGINS ⚔️
Many of you have already noticed changes taking place around the academy. New logos, updated branding, new merchandise, and new signage on the way. Today, we’re excited to officially share why.
As our academy has continued to develop, it has become clear that our identity should reflect not only where we came from, but where we are going. For that reason, Zephyrhills BJJ will be transitioning to Vykyng Martial Arts Club (VMAC), the flagship academy and headquarters of the Vykyng Martial Arts Association (VMAA).
This is more than a new logo, website, or name. It is the next step in our long-term vision. While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu remains at the heart of our academy, we are committed to providing a complete martial arts experience focused on technical excellence, personal growth, leadership, and lifelong learning.
One of the most exciting developments in that vision has been our evolution into a dual-rank academy. Students now have the opportunity to pursue rank in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kosen Judo through their respective rank systems and lineages, allowing them to build a broader and more complete grappling foundation while earning recognition in both arts.
While our branding is changing, the things that matter most are not. Our students will continue to learn from the same experienced coaches, train within the same positive culture, and benefit from the same commitment to excellence that has defined our academy from the beginning. Our mission remains the same: to develop lifelong martial artists who continue to learn, grow, lead, and improve themselves both on and off the mats.
Over the coming months, you’ll continue to see the Vykyng name appear throughout the academy as we complete this transition. New signage, uniforms, merchandise, branding, and website updates are already underway.
During this transition however, we will not be able to accommodate free drop-ins for practitioners from outside academies. We must prioritize mat space for our paying membership and trial students. All outside drop-ins will now have to pay a fee to attend class unless otherwise directed. We appreciate your understanding.
To every student, parent, family member, coach, and supporter who has helped build this academy since 2024, thank you. Your trust and support have made this possible, and we are incredibly excited for what comes next.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this post and inviting your friends and family to follow along as we continue building the future of Vykyng Martial Arts Club.
