Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Vills Bros is the best place to get a great workout, gain knowledge of self-defense and just an amazing place to feel welcomed. I’ve been an athlete all my life, but the intense workout I get from the strength and conditioning class immediately gives me a great sweat (which is exactly what I’m looking for). I’ve only participated in three classes, but I’m already excited to see the transformation my body is going to endure. If you’re looking for any of these features, I HIGHLY recommend joining!” – Amanda W.

Not Your Average Martial Arts Center

Matthew Villiatora, the owner of Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu apart from the many other martial arts centers in Nevada. Here’s Matthew’s response:

“We are an actual family-oriented academy, plain and simple.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Matthew had to say:

“I come from nothing, so we are very grateful for our little community academy. We try to train kids real hard, push them to the limits and make sure to let them know that they’re going to want to quit. We’re only human; we’re all going to want to quit. But at the end of the day, we can’t quit no matter how hard it gets. We try to get these kids up and going, off the video games and off the phone, and encourage them to put in the hard work.”

Matthew went on to add:

“[We’re] super grateful because we’re a family-oriented gym, and we’re not a corporate gym. There are tons of corporate gyms with big names out there, and I decided to open up my family-owned gym. I taught at a corporate gym. I don’t like what they’re about and why they do what they do. We do what we have to do for our little community.”

Building Success Through Honesty

When we asked Matthew about Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he attributed it to their commitment to being honest and straightforward about what they do and what they’re capable of with their students.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has spread the word about who they are and what they do through social media, but the vast majority of their business comes from word of mouth in their community.

Clearly, Matthew knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“…For the mom-and-pop shops, just be true to yourself. Do as you say; say as you do. Don’t beat around the bush. Just open up your business, be truthful to yourself and to your community, and everything else is going to fall in line. Do the right thing.”


Congratulations to the team at Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Matthew, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Vills Bros Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in North Las Vegas. Visit their website today!
