I have trained at several Victory locations and they are all terrific gyms. The Plainfield…read morelocation has amazing teachers who truly know their MMA. The classes are very approachable for those new to the sport, but are still challenging for experienced martial artists. There is always something new to learn, and always older techniques to practice and master. Not only do you learn a great deal, it is a terrific work out. There is nothing quite like working on your stand up game or ground work to get your heart going. Victory gets 5 stars for a great feeling of belonging, teaching environment, approachability, challenging material, and great teachers. I highly recommend giving it a try if you have ever thought about it.

Not only is the class an amazing working, Victory (and Rich) provide an environment for learning and self-reflection. Rich's class has taught me more than just how to punch or grapple, it has taught me how to focus my energies on the positives and to be more than I think I can be. It may have been a quote from Kung Fu Panda, but Rich really sent it home for me; "If you only do what you can do, you'll never be better than what you are."

Sparring class is getting hazardous big kids taking advantage when they spar with younger kids and lower belts not a fair match. Too many students 20kids to 30+ in 1 class with 1 instructor or 2. They pass every students on belt testing even w/o knowing the forms and kicks. You can walk by and get your FREE Black belt even w/o any skills. You paid for it! Best place if you are just looking to babysit your kids for 45 mins. Though you can find a cheaper ones for sure. They charge $159/monthly + $70/ belt testing and $60 Uniform + $150 Membership fee( Idk what's the membership for) The Facility is very legit when it comes to nastiness, chairs, mats dirty, carpets smells. Not to mention the obnoxious Moms who chitchat during the class when you couldn't hear what's the instructors are saying bec of the buzzing sounds in the back. Annoying. Best place to waste your $$$.

This school is run by Master Greg Washington and it has been such a blessing to my family. My son…read morestarted when he was 5 here and Master Washington helped turn around some pretty bad behavior traits. He started listening more and was way more respectful after having things reinforced at the school. Beyond just the behavior bonuses the training is top notch in TaeKwonDo, with my son winning both State and National Championships in 2013 in sparring and placing 3rd in both tournaments in forms. This year (2014) he took 2nd in Sparring at State, and 3rd in forms, with Nationals coming up in July. Another aspect is that he has made so many friends, that go beyond just the school. He regularly goes to his TKD friends houses for playdates, probably more so then the kids from his school. It is a no contract school which means you can pay month to month without being locked in. I think this is super important as a parent because why get locked into a contract if your kids do not like it after a month or so? Everything is very family oriented and Master Washington makes a personal connection with the kids in class, following up with how they are doing in school and other parts of their lives. Master Washington has a first class free policy so the kids can give it a try so you have nothing to lose for coming in and giving it a try!

The instructors are truly exceptional--they are knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and genuinely invested in every student's success. What we love most is the supportive, family-like atmosphere. Every student is challenged to do their best while being encouraged every step of the way. Whether your goal is to build confidence, learn self-defense, stay active, or compete at the local, national, or even world level, the opportunities are there for both children and adults to take their taekwondo journey as far as they want. Our daughter is a second-degree black belt, and watching her grow in confidence, discipline, and leadership has been incredible. I recently decided to join classes myself, and it has been such a rewarding experience. Training together has made our family's experience even more meaningful. If you're looking for a martial arts school with outstanding instructors, a positive environment, and a community that truly cares about its students, I highly recommend ATA Karate for Kids / Success Now Martial Arts. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing school!
