My son is finishing out his 2nd year at Victory Martial Arts, unfortunately we are moving out of state and unable to continue. I cannot say enough great things about Victory. I’ve enjoyed watching my son progress, work on discipline, skills and his confidence. The Martinez family really invest in the kids and it shows, they share in their victories and make you feel like family!

Both my children recently received their black belts. They have been fabulous with my children. They’ve been patient with them and want every student to be successful in their martial arts practice. My daughter has no interest in sports but loves her martial arts study and gets upset if we have to miss a class. Not only have the kids met great friends but even us, the parents, have made great friends! I couldn’t speak more highly of the Martinez’s. It’s truly a family business and we are grateful to be part of the VMA family!

My sons have been taking karate here for over 8 years. My oldest recently achieved his second degree black belt! The instructors are thorough and provide a challenging learning environment for all of their students. We have been extremely pleased with our time here and will continue to further our boys’ martial arts education through Victory.

We have been members of Victory Martial Arts Academy for three years now my oldest started when he was five who is now eight and my youngest who is now six started when he was five as well. The boys love it the after school program and the summer camp! Not only is the program and camp awesome, but the owners are too, they go above and beyond for the kids with extra activities such as parties, bounce houses, field trips, visits to the parks, movie nights, and even special events for Valentines Day and New Years Eve for the parents. My reason for putting both of my boys in this camp was because of the late pick up time at 6:30pm, it worked for me, but I’m glad there’s a better reason for them being there now, I can’t see myself taking them out of the camp and not just because of the late pick up and fun, but because of the friends they’ve made and relationships they’ve made with the owners and instructors along the way!! I highly recommend Victory, it may be a “small mom and pop”, but in my opinion that’s where the traditional fun and teaching is! :)

We can’t say enough good things about Victory Martial Arts! We have been with them for 9 years between 2 kids. Our oldest is a black belt and our youngest is about to become one very soon. Our children have attended regular classes, been a part of the after school program and went to the summer camp. To our children this has become a second home with people that we trust and care about them. Both of our children have learned how to defend themselves but more importantly when they should use their defenses. Victory Martial Arts is not one of those karate studios where you just pay a price and get a black belt these kids have to do the work and truly learn the discipline in order to advance. Watching our kids advance and grow with karate at Victory Martial Arts is one the best decisions we made as a parent.

VMA is a family friendly business. Our son has been enrolled in the martial arts program for the past couple of years and he is one belt away from achieving his black belt. Don and Rene are patient and kind with the kids, encourging them to always do their personal best. It is a passion for them both that they truly love. We feel lucky to have found them when we were searching for a local martial arts studio. If you are looking for a Karate studio to learn dicipline and self respect, I cannot reccommend them highly enough.

My son has been a part of the Victory Marshall Arts since he was in 1st or 2nd grade. He is now a rising 8th grader and almost a Black Belt. The owners/instructors take time with the students to make sure they get the form/moves. The classes are fun, and they plan camps, parties, etc. for the kids. Thanks for a great experience, Renee and Don
