Comments from Parents and Students
1. “I have seen so much improvement in his confidence level as well as in his ability to deal with everyday situations.”

Hello, my name is Tim Edwards and I am writing this letter on behalf of Victory Martial Arts and their staff. My now eleven-year-old son has been attending class at this facility for approximately three years. When he started, he was a little timid and lacking in self-confidence. Within this time, I have seen so much improvement in his confidence level as well as in his ability to deal with everyday situations. I credit this to the instructors and staff of Victory Martial Arts. I would strongly and wholeheartedly recommend Victory Martial Arts t o all who are interested in helping their children learn valuable life lessons and self-defense.
God Bless, Tim Edwards
Listen to what some School Teachers have to say about Victory:

I am Elisabeth Patterson and I teach Physical Education at a K through 5 school in a Chicago suburb. My students had the experience of having Mr. Ricardo and his staff, come to my school and introduce Karate. It was a great experience for my students, because not only was it absolutely fun and exercise, it also included a lot of character education. I enjoyed seeing some students with difficulties rise to the occasion and shape up. I would definitely recommend this program.

3. “They have learned and practiced goal setting…”

The lunchtime program taught by instructors from Victory Martial Arts has provided Hatch students with valuable life skills. They have learned and practiced goal setting, that applies not only to kicking and breaking a board, but also to doing homework and chores. I would highly recommend this program to students of all ages.

4. “You guys are world class!”.

We are a family of five children (boys).The key to quality time is what you are doing during quality time. Adam gives the children the best of his time, not just leftover time when he is training our boys. I love the way that Adam sets the level of expectations for the children. Adam lets them know what is expected of them and what the outcome will be if they fail to train. My children have learned to follow-up with ongoing training and how to listen to instructions better at home. Thank you Adam and the crew at Victory. You guys are world class!!…

5. “You become a family member at Victory.”.

There are no words to properly describe what Victory means to me and my children. They go way beyond just teaching MMA. Morals, self control, self esteem, self discipline are incorporated into every class. It’s not just words, it the actions the instructors demonstrate to the students as well. You become a family member at Victory. On a personal note, fighting cancer right now and trying to get the children there is often difficult. I have not once been there and not had an instructor ask how I am. They give my children the support they need as they too deal with this disease. Victory instructors…… you are our FAMILY!!!!!

6. “They have learned so much and their self esteem has improved…”.

1. My best day at Victory was… I asked my boys that, and any day they get a new belt is a great day. 2. I choose Victory because… We live in Peotone Illinois (there are many martial arts places between here and there) and we drive out to Orland Park because of the Sensei’s that instruct the class. They keep the class fun and the kids (we are in the youngest group) can stay focused because Sesei Adam and Sensei Ryno keep the class exciting for the kids. 3. I recommend Victory Martial Arts Because… We chose Victory for our boys because we heard great things about Sensei Grisco. All we heard was true and he is fantastic with kids. My boys are 7 and 9 and they have been there a little over a year. They have learned so much and their self esteem has improved and so has their discipline and focus. It is amazing how this program help out. Thank you Sensei Adam for being wonderful with the kids and holding their attention and making the class a fun place to learn

7. “My overall confidence has skyrocketed.”.

Both my son and I attend Victory Martial Arts Academy. Its fun, it’s challenging, it’s rewarding, it has a family friendly atmosphere, and it’s an amazing experience that’s well worth the effort. My wife says joining Victory is one of the best things I’ve ever done. At age 46 I am in the best shape of my life. My overall confidence has skyrocketed. My son can’t wait to get to Victory. It has helped his level of maturity and respect. He has fun and he stays fit. I’m grateful to be a part of the Victory team and family.
