MVJ Athletic Training Center - Newark, Delaware

I was looking for a solid boxing and kickboxing school. I came across MVJ while looking schools up online and gave it a try. Best decision I made because since day 1 this school has been all about improving and pushing yourself to new limits. The diversity is great because you have guys who are pro and amateur fighters who can share a lot of details and help your game improve. If you want to get in better shape and be pushed in a positive way this is your gym. If you’re like me and want to take an amateur boxing fight then this place is also for you. I just want to say thank you to MVJ for the safe training environment and I’m excited to continue my martial arts journey with team MVJ!

I've been to many gyms in the Philadelphia/Delaware area but MVJ tops them all. They are professional, clean and most of all passionate about martial arts. The Pritchett family is without a doubt among the elites of fighting.

This is, by far, the best gym in all of Delaware IMO. I've been coming, on and off, for over 6 years. I've gotten grade A training, raised my fitness level, built great relationships, been coached for and cornered in fights and the list goes on. From beginner to pro, this is the place for you. Come get fit or train to compete, iron sharpens iron, MVJ cuts teeth. ✌?

Gym has a solid program if you’re looking to compete or just stay in shape. Variety of skill levels from novice to pro, and a few national champions in the mix. Overall has a welcoming and fun vibe, but does maintain that vibe of an old-school disciplined environment as well.

MVJ Athletics Is more than a Gym it’s a Culture !!! It’s a Family atmosphere of acceptance with an attitude of humility! Walk in the doors with an understanding that the training “will hurt” but ultimately the training “Will help” .. My Son Marc Jr.,aka Honey Hands has grown leaps and bounds since signing up 2 years ago He’s now a force to be reckoned with as a 14year old in the amateurs

My son Chase was getting into a lot of fights at school, and the tactics we had been using to help him manage his anger were not effective. As a professional working in the behavioral health field, I knew that it was important to address his anger early on before it became a bigger problem as he got older. I took the time to understand my son and figure out what motivated him and how he could improve in different areas. I realized that he needed a program that could challenge him, provide structure and consistency, and help him learn to fight with discipline and respect, as well as gain mental focus and fight for a purpose at the right time.

After searching through many programs, we found MVJ. My son has been attending for a while now and he loves it. The people there are very professional and respectful. not to mention they know each child by their name and personality. This is important to me because this is how kids can be conformable in an environment so that they can be themselves. At MVJ my son is just not a number he's part of the family. He looks up to each gentleman in this building and admires that they are helping him to become the best he can be. As a single mother, I respect the respect that they have for parents. Trust me I have been to a lot of environments and never once have I got any bad vibes from anyone here. Their main focus is to help people become better mentally and physically, and my son's grades and behavior have improved dramatically since he started here at MVJ. He is now able to give that fighting energy to boxing. While also having an extended family at MVJ that wants him to be better overall.
I want to express my appreciation to all the people at MVJ. You are all dedicated and inspiring. I appreciate that you not only praise his accomplishments but also offer constructive criticism that he needs to hear to improve himself and be the best. I would recommend anyone to come and join the MVJ family.
Thank you so much

My son has been going here for a month and is 5 years old. He’s completely transformed. His attitude, his body and his confidence.

I can tell after now going consistently for a month that he is focused. He has more patience.

You can tell his muscles are start to form and is physical appearance is definitely developing.

His confidence has improved. He does ninja warrior one day a week. He was very timid about some of the obstacles. He is now taking chances and doing the obstacles with more confidence.

I recommend definitely sending your child here if you want a program that truly is challenging that gets results.

I went to MVJ Athletic Training Center for a self-defense course...the staff were very courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. The gym was clean and well managed. I will be going back to enroll in the vee- jitsu course as I feel the instructors there are very knowledgeable and can help me pursue my goals in martial arts. Looking forward to my future classes!
