Bully Me Now MMA

Despite the attention grabbing name, Bully Me Now MMA is a serious mixed martial arts and self-defense academy on Samms Avenue in Port Orange, run by founder and head coach Victor Ezier. The name is intentional: the gym’s mission centers on giving kids and adults the skills, and just as importantly the confidence, to handle bullying and confrontation without becoming aggressors themselves.

The curriculum here is broader than most neighborhood MMA gyms. Students can train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, submission wrestling, judo, and even less common disciplines like Savate and catch wrestling. That range lets students build a genuinely mixed skill set rather than specializing early, and it gives more experienced students room to keep learning new material as they progress. The gym runs a competition Jiu-Jitsu team for students who want to test their skills outside the academy, alongside standard kids, teen, and adult class tracks.

Coach Victor’s own account of why he built the program centers on what martial arts training gave him personally, a kind of confidence that only came from sustained, deliberate practice. That perspective shapes how the gym approaches younger students in particular, with an explicit focus on teaching kids not just how to fight but when not to, building in judgment about de-escalation alongside the physical techniques. For parents worried about a child being bullied at school, or simply wanting a structured outlet for a high energy kid, that emphasis on discernment is a meaningful distinction from gyms that focus purely on athletic performance.

Classes are organized by age, with separate tracks for kids as young as four, a teen program, and adult classes that mix fitness conditioning with technical instruction. Bully Me Now offers a free trial class for newcomers who want to see the gym and try a session before committing, and enrollment can be handled online through the gym’s website in addition to calling or stopping by in person.

The gym operates as Bully Me Now LLC, a registered and active Florida limited liability company, and its Samms Avenue location sits in a small commercial corridor not far from other Port Orange fitness businesses, making it an easy stop for families already running errands near S Nova Road. Weekday class hours run through the afternoon into the evening to accommodate both school age students and working adults.

For Port Orange residents looking for martial arts instruction that treats self-defense as a mental discipline as much as a physical one, and that offers real variety in what students can train, Bully Me Now MMA has built a distinct identity in the local martial arts scene under Coach Victor’s direct leadership. Its emphasis on judgment and de-escalation alongside technique makes it a standout option for parents specifically worried about bullying situations.
