Team Victory

I’ve been training martial arts since 1992, experienced great instructors and some not so great. I have owned two schools during my martial art journey (Taekwondo, Hwarangdo, Hapkido, BJJ, etc…) I have to honestly say Kru Rod is one of the greats I have encountered. His attention to detail and his passion to represent the art of Muay Thai is evident. Friendly atmosphere, yet serious training is what you will experience here.

Team Victory is as good as Muay Thai gets. Extremely friendly atmosphere (No Big Ego’s). Kru Rod is an excellent coach and wants all of his students to succeed. This gym focuses on quality rather than quantity. The tools are given to you, its only a matter of you taking advantage of them. Best way to get in shape and learn the art at the same time. Team Victory is the way to go!

Team Victory Muay Thai is one of the few gyms that teach authentic Thai boxing. Ive been training here since the doors first opened and I stayed ever since. Kru Rod is a respectable and disciplined teacher who loves what he does. He trains kids, muay thai fighters, UFC fighters, and regular people that want to get an intense workout. The atmosphere in the gym is welcome and everybody is like family. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get in shape, defend themselves, or be part of the fight team. The prices are affordable and the training is top notch

Definitely one of the most effective gyms in the Los Angeles area not to mention super friendly super proficient very welcoming. All the trainers and students seem to exemplify the great teachings of the martial way and all extremely helpful and caring definitely check them out if you’re interested in fitness, beginner level up through advanced to fighters this gym Caters to everyone

I called Team Victory to make an appointment with Rod for a private session. I left a voicemail hoping to get a response for when I could come in and train with him, but no one responded. As a trainer and former Professional Athlete this is not good business practice. Right now I cannot recommend this place if they are in the habit of not returning phone calls. Maybe in the future I will give a better review if they can convince me, but first they need to work on getting back to people, especially when it’s business related. I will try one more time to reach them, but if no one responds again I will look elsewhere.

Team Victory Muay Thai is in no comparison to any other gym. The coaches and Kru Rod are class A and are great to work with. The atmosphere is awesome and what I love most is that no one walks around with an ego. Everyone goes to learn and improve and help each other out. Whether you’re just starting out or have experience, you’ll definitely find what you are looking for here. The kids program is amazing and they will immediately love it. I’m very glad and lucky to be able to train and learn from TVMT. It’s been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. You definitely won’t regret it.

First, I want to thank Jose Zamora Soto for getting me to go into Team Victory to take kick boxing classes. I seriously love this place! Although I am a very active person I was intimidated at first because I had no experience in kick boxing but I’m so glad I ended up giving it a try. The full body work out I get in one hour at Team Victory seriously kills the two to three hours I usually spend in the gym. Don’t let that scare you though if you’re not an active person or familiar with K.B. the instructors will patiently work with you to help you gradually increase stamina and build upper, lower and abdominal strength. A BIG PLUS for me is that they make sure your form is correct to prevent you from hurting yourself instead of just letting you go through the motion. I’ve taken many classes from Zumba to Cross fit and although they are all different I’ve came across a handful of instructors who I’ve felt have left me lost and behind because they are just going through the motions and not checking on their class but since day 1 I’ve had the pleasure of working with Miguel who has thankfully been patient enough to make sure I go about punching, kneeing, kicking and well doing everything correctly. The atmosphere at Team Victory is very welcoming, you’ll feel the good vibes the second you walk through the door. I always look forward to my weekly session. I can go on and on about how great this gym is but I’ll end this with recommending you check it out for yourself! You will not regret paying Team Victory a visit you are guaranteed to love it!

I may be new to the world of martial arts, but there are some things that make great coaches no matter what you are training for.
CHALLENGE– if your coach isn’t willing to challenge you then they don’t really believe in you. And it’s really hard to grow without someone bringing you along that sees your potential and is going to push you past your limits.
ATMOSPHERE– I guess this could be a matter of preference, some people respond well (I guess) under the pressure of being called names. I personally think it’s healthier when the atmosphere is positive and everyone is working to not only better themselves, but encourage the people around them.
TECHNIQUE– It «feels» nice to walk into a gym that is upbeat and energetic, but if they aren’t teaching you the right technique you’ll be wasting your time. Martial arts is not a quick fix or an ego boost. If you want the real thing you have to find someone who will make sure you’re getting it right and wont stop correcting you til you do.
So yeah, like I said, I’m new… but I can tell that Team Victory has these three things down. It is freakin hard work, but the fact that they encourage me through the pain and don’t let me slide on the technique gives me the determination to work hard and as long as it takes.
So for any other beginners out there… I wouldn’t waste your time anywhere else.

Team Victory, more like Team Family. I feel at home here, the instruction by Kru Rod is first rate. There’s Boxing classes as well as Muay Thai, two deciplines for the price of one. In addition I can now train in their new branch in Hollywood, really there is nothing more I could ask for,
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to scare anyone but the classes are tough but somehow even though I’m just a beginner, I make it through and I’m starting to really enjoy it. One other thing of note is that I fit in my pants again, my clothes are getting loose and I might need a new wardrobe.
Enough babbling, bottom line, if you wanna come to a martial arts gym and like to be treated like family, like you belong then Team Victory is the place for you. Who knows you might get in fighting shape along the way too.

Ladies ladies ladies! There are no words to express how much I love working out at Team! The atmosphere here is friendly and works with you, Kru Rod and his team are an amazing and motivating group of genuine good and talented people, stop by and come see for yourself! you will not regret! TRUST! =)

Gym has a variety of bags and equipment. Kru Rod is an excellent instructor. Great details and level of instruction. He works very well in both Boxing and Muay Thai. Very friendly and ego-​free environment. He paces the students well and pushes everyone hard. I would highly recommend going here.

Team Victory Muay Thai Boxing is instructed by well-​rounded Kru Rod McKiver. This little gym in Inglewood is just the place to get your mind of constant stress, learn some discipline, know what is truly feels like to be part of a team, and learn some traditional Muay Thai with an added emphasis on Boxing. Kru Rod has been involved with Muay Thai for many years, such as competing professionally in Thai Boxing and Amateur competition for Boxing. With a coach with great passion, he has taken his students to drive, push, and reach further limits that they’ve never thought they could reach. His experience in the ring and training fighters has gotten him such professional fighters like Ruben Duran, who currently fights for the UFC, and Bobby Green, fighting for Strikeforce. Kru Rod has proved himself to be one of the most genuine muay thai boxing instructors in the south bay.
My first experience Rod was a a one on one effort executed by Rod himself. Coming from a muay thai background, he used the tools I had already acquired and sharpened them up to better understand the combos and movements. I’ve had many instructors sucker me into their gyms to try out, and only a few have actually took the time to know who I am and why I do this sport like Rod did. Try out a class if you feel like trying something new or if you’re already a experienced fighter
