Our founder
Matthew Guffey
Hi! I’m Matt Guffey – Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt; expert in strength-training for jiu-jitsu athletes; captivating speaker on podcasts like Off the Mats, The Old Grappler, and the Newaza Podcast; creator of the seminar Bulletproof Your Body, Win More Matches; and owner of Victory High Performance.
For the past seventeen plus years I’ve been devoted to helping others through personal strength training. I started coaching AAA hockey for the San Jose Sharks in 2015. In 2020, I opened my own strength training gym, Victory High Performance, in San Jose, California.
My team and I at VHP are dedicated to changing people’s lives through individualized strength and mobility programs. Our gym has quadrupled in size since we first opened and I was voted Business Owner of the Year by Results Fitness University in 2022!
Now for the alphabet soup: I’m a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Certified Functional Range Mobility Specialist (FRC), Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC), and a brown belt under 12x World Champion Professor Caio Terra. I specialize in working with grapplers of all sizes, ages, and skill levels.
My mission in life is to help jiu jitsu athletes stay on the mats longer, win more matches, and get injured less. If that’s what you want, book a free strategy at Victory High Performance today.
See you in the gym!
