Great experience. That staff was friendly and inspiring, and my kids loved it. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Instructors are great and most people here are great, but there is a definite lack of discipline and respect from some people.
Pros: The focus on technique here is better than any other school I've trained at and in the 6 weeks I've been here I've learned a lot. The classes will focus on a couple techniques in the first half and usually end with light sparring so that you can practice those techniques in real time. The grappling classes are good as well, first school I've trained at where I wasn't completely lost and frustrated as a beginner.
Cons: There are a handful of students who don't take the class very seriously and completely disregard instructions during drills. In the short time I've been training here I have encountered several people who will go "all out" against new students, making it impossible to actually practice the techniques learned in the first half of the class. Some lack the skills to control their striking and some are just bullies. The classes are sometimes too crowded for the instructor to keep students accountable.
Conclusion: Pretty good gym overall, just be cautious who you drill with.

This is a place where physicality, mentality, and spirituality come together as one. Here you will balance inner and outer strength. Here you silence fear, doubt, and become a mirror of limitless potential and amazing possibilities.
Victory is a place I WILL come back to no matter how far I've traveled or how much time has passed.
It's home.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a place to learn and improve your skills in a positive and supportive environment, you might want to consider another gym. I had a great experience at the Arlington Heights location and as well as Midwest Training Center in Schaumburg.

This gym has changed my life!
I believe is the best place to train, get a workout, get in shape, meet other like minded people, learn to defend yourself, and having fun doing it.
Everyone is kind and welcoming wether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in training martial arts.
Highly recommend to everyone who wants to learn self defense, get in great shape, or compete.

I have been training here for about 2yrs and it has become a second home to me. The coaches are a huge part of the gym. Their motivation make you wanna get better. Its like being apart of a family. Victory has helped me in so many ways. It has helped me live healthier, be a better person, and most importantly a better father and leader of my family. What ever you wanna achieve Victory can help you do it Im living proof of that.

Best MMA academy around! Coaches are top notch, it's affordable and they have great equipment (including a cage). Even when I first started here, I never felt intimidated because everyone is nice. Several coaches and higher belts have taken 1 on 1 time with me to help me progress. Love this place!

It's a great place to learn MMA for recreational and/or competitive purposes. Very knowledgeable and high IQ instructors. Everyone is friendly and whiling to help. There's been some recent positive renovations to the facility. Great team mates to work with!

I have been to other gyms around the Chicagoland area and this is gym is the best, from a competitive standpoint but also if you are just trying to have fun and get in shape it is still the gym for you. The coaches here are very knowledgeable and we'll help you achieve whatever goal you wish you too set.
With a recently remodeled gym i recommend goin in and training asap!
