What a wonderfully family run business. My son has been actively involved in Victory for almost 9 years now. He has learned so much about fitness, courage, self confidence and perseverance from the Sensei’s at Victory. They have become so much more than karate training. They are an extension of our family. Your son or daughter will surely benefit by their training.

This dojo is wonderful for the ENTIRE family! I joined in Apollo Beach two weeks after my 50th Birthday! In Sept I will have been working with this team for 7 years! I do not plan on stopping EVER. Though my schedules change and my availability to attend class is sometimes not there...lessons learned are with me always. When I am able to get to dojo we pick right back up. If you are *ahem* older and looking for activity I encourage you to visit Victory. Just a few areas that you will improve.....focus, balance, memory, f!exibility, endurance, physical ...and the list goes on. Highly recommend this dojo!

I have been attending Victory for 3 years now. I started as a teenager and they have helped me become a mature adult. I am 20 years old now. Going through the belt system and learning martial arts has helped me take on a more leadership role in work and life and I have become more confident in myself. All the staff and customers at Victory are very friendly. The staff will always make you feel welcome.

Victory Martial Arts has truly become the center of Apollo Beach. The academy offers a wide array of classes, from the very basics of martial arts, through to all manner of weapons and techniques. It really is the epitome of discipline and learning. The children's classes, 'Lil Dragons' are absolutely amazing and truly highlight Sensei Phil's amazing ability at engaging and enthusing children as young as three to become totally dedicated and committed to martial arts. The children's classes combine karate moves with self defense (how to escape from strangers attacking them and what they should do) as well as playing games that encourage children to fully emerse themselves in physical activity to benefit health. In addition to the classes, there is an excellent after school program me, allowing parents to feel totally secure in their child's care during their work hours. The after school care program which includes karate training. Further, there are amazing camps during school breaks where kids are cared for, trained and entertained. Victory also creates awesome entertainment for special occasions like Halloween, where the dojo is turned into a scary haven for the scare seekers including craft activities for children. It is a great place to train and meet friends … and for those fitness buffs that want to go that extra step, they can join the Victory Martial Arts team that runs the Savage Race annually … and even run with the bulls in the new challenge for 2014. The dojo has a small merchandise area where you can purchase a variety of clothing and training gear ….. gloves, tees, training weapons, protective wear, etc. Victory is truly the very center of this small town .. bringing people together while gaining new skills and improving physical well being. Highly recommended !!!

This is an AMAZING place. I started taking classes here at age 49. Many may state that starting Martial Arts training at 49 is crazy, but I have seen increases in flexibility, strength, and fantastic weight loss. If you are looking for a way to feel young, this is the place that will give you energy and vitality. I am very happy I went to check it out. It is becoming a very big part of my health and wellness program. They even give everyone a week of free classes to check it out...once I tried it I was hooked. The owners are wonderful people and the Sensei is tough but fair and understanding. Be willing to give your all to your training and your training will give it all to you.
