Our School
We enter every day of class ready to help students reach their personal goals in and out of the school. This is a place where you can laugh, smile, joke, and still work hard. Everyone is approachable and friendly, and is always ready to help. Students will improve physically, mentally, and spiritually as they learn authentic martial arts. There is no fluff in our instruction. We teach real-world scenarios to use Kickboxing to keep yourself safe on the street. On top of our realistic training, our Christian-based values are just as important. We share a weekly Bible verse that encourages our students to live with character, integrity, and respect-not just in our school, but in everyday life. We value the person and the athlete.
History
Jeff Garland got back into teaching martial arts when his son started taking classes. This was the spark for Jeff to teach his style of Kickboxing and values at his own school. Eventually, he opened our doors for martial arts in Kingsport in August 2025.
Before creating his own school, Jeff had spent over 30 years in martial arts. Through that time, he practiced Kickboxing, Shaolin Kung Fu, and practical self-defense. This helped him win two heavyweight division Kickboxing tournaments during his competitive years.
Now as the head instructor at Victory Martial Arts and Fitness, Jeff is working to bring together his two strong beliefs: his faith in God and the belief that martial arts is a strong developmental tool. He is working to make our school a place for great athletes and leaders who can make an impact on those around them.

Meet the Victory Martial Arts and Fitness
Team
Owner and head instructor Jeff Garland enters class each day with a smile and a positive mindset.

Jeff Garland
Head Instructor
Coach Jeff has been involved in martial arts for over 30 years. Through every season of training, competing, and coaching, one foundation has remained steady—his faith in God and his belief that martial arts is a powerful tool for growth.
His background includes full-contact kickboxing, Shaolin Kung Fu, and practical self-defense training. He has won two heavyweight division kickboxing tournaments and has worked alongside athletes preparing for MMA and kickboxing competition. Coach Jeff is certified in Boxing Fitness under Olympic medalist and undefeated professional boxer Tony Jeffries.
In August 2025, he founded Victory Martial Arts and Fitness with a clear mission: to build a school rooted in strong fundamentals, authentic training, and a Christ-centered foundation. That same year, Victory became an official Roufusport affiliate school, allowing Coach Jeff to continue studying and teaching the Roufusport Kickboxing system while bringing world-class training to Kingsport.
But beyond titles, tournaments, and certifications, Coach Jeff believes martial arts is about far more than competition.
It’s about building character.
Discipline. Integrity. Perseverance.
Strength under pressure.
His mission is to develop not only skilled martial artists, but strong leaders—physically, mentally, and spiritually. At Victory Martial Arts and Fitness, students grow in confidence, learn real-world self-defense, and discover that true strength comes from training hard while walking in faith.

Explore Our Martial Arts Programs
All our programs offer students an experience to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Kids and adults can improve their fitness, self-defense, and competitive skills while growing as people. There is something for everyone in our tight-knit community. Take a look below to find the right program for you and your family!
The Little Ninjas classes are 30-minute sessions to help your children grasp the basics. Kids are taught the fundamentals as they stay active and healthy. Classes serve as a fun, productive time to set your children up for more advanced martial arts classes in the future.
This is where students first begin to hone their martial arts skills. Students learn to bring together different combinations through drilling. We teach them how all basics come together into one skillset.
There is so much for students to experience in our Adult Roufusport Kickboxing classes. The session starts with a 15-20 minute workout before our quick Bible lesson. Then, we get to the martial arts part. Here, students dive into mostly partner drills that work with new scenarios to improve their self-defense skills.
