If you are looking for results, attainable skills and a fun, dedicated group of people (friends), this is a place for your kiddo. Boys, girls, teens, adults - everyone can learn here at a reasonable pace. Never saw one team member/instructor in a bad mood. Consistently good quality. Not sure if there is a comparable place to this. We love it.

Love this place especially this location. My son needs to work on self-confidence and he doesn’t like to perform in public. He cried on stage when performing at school. After joining victory, he’s a lot better. He can perform in front of classmates and parents. He also took leadership class that teach him to be respect, obedient, patient , etc. It’s a lot more than just kicking and punching. Staffs are very nice and pay attention to detail. From my experience though the tournament that all kids from different location will compete, my son did everything right when some kids in same rank or higher cannot do. I’m sure the staffs here teach my son well and right. Most importantly, I never force him to go practice. He likes to go on his own and enjoy the class.

My son joined Victory Martial Arts, when he was 3 years old. Our expectations were that he will learn self discipline & respect for others as well as focus. And I can honestly say that signing him up was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made!! He is 7 now and Martial Arts became his passion and drive!! He is so much more focused &responsible and learned to make good decisions. We are so grateful for all his growth!! Thank you to the fantastic instructors instructors Mr Quartin, Mr Roman and Mr Carter who are truly role models for the kids and teach them so much more than only karate!!!

My daughter started in April and she absolutely loves going to classes. She thoroughly enjoys herself and looks forward to going every week. I also love how they focus on self confidence and respect not just for themselves or their elders but for eachother as well.

My 2 sons and myself have been coming to this facility for a couple of months now. The instructors are excellent with the kids and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for families in need of discipline among other behaviors needs.

Dont waist your time with this place they are scams. They came to my sons school painting a perfect picture of how wonderful this school is. Well I took my son here they made me sign a contract , I told them I wasnt sure I had to speak to my finance first about the money and they said well you have to sign to save your spot. Well when I did I didnt know it was a contract when I sent them a letter ,phone call and showed up there stating I didnt want to go there anymore they said I have a 12 month contract with them now and If I brake this I have to pay.They also said they never received anything. Long story short now I have a $1700 dollar debt on my credit report because they charged me the whole year when I only went once. Dont waist your time money or your credit with them horrible inky gave 1 star because I couldnt write a review without it.

My son has been attending the Longwood studio for over a year and a half. He absolutely loves the Tigers program and has learned so much. He has gained confidence, discipline, and perseverance. The instructors are phenomenal. Mr. Quartin, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Roman are simply the best and I am forever grateful for their patience and leadership.

My granddaughter takes karate now ,and loves it! Mrs. Candella ,the chief instructor, is just awesome with the kids. Mr. Quarten is also a great instructor. I recommend this school to anyone who would like their child to have control, and self discipline. I recommend it to any adults who want a great workout and would like to bolster their self esteem.

Great school! My son has been at Victory Longwood for almost 2 years now. He is 7 years old and studies the martial art of Karate and Taekwondo. We love it! Along with technique, physical fitness and self defense the students are taught to have a YES I CAN attitude in everything they do. The school teaches discipline, focus, self confidence, self respect, honesty, leadership qualities and much more! The instructors are awesome! They build relationships, establish a mutual respect and spend countless hours helping each student achieve their goals. If youre looking a martial arts school, look no further! You will not be disappointed!

There are a ton of places to practice and learn martial arts, this is the one to go to. They have great instructors, a great set of kids, that work to help each other become better, not only at TaeKwonDo, but life and a proven program that will have a positive and life long effect on your child. My little girl loves it and has made many friends, along with learning discipline and how to protect herself.

Amazing experience. Great place for kids and adults. Kids learn respectfully, commitment, endurance, leadership skills and much more. Adults gets a great workout and one on one training. Mr. Quartin and Ms. Candela pushes you to your limit, when you leave you know you have an awesome workout. I highly recommend this school.

We have been attending Victory for over a year, our Camo belt loves his instructors. The Longwood studio is full of friendly, fun, and focused parents and children. The kickboxing classes are always challenging and never the same work out twice, which is how I like it. Would highly recommend Victory Martial Arts in Longwood.

My shy 10-year-old daughter began classes at Victory Longwood about a year ago, and it has been amazing for her. Shes grown leaps and bounds in confidence and using her voice. My wife thought it looked so fun she joined the class too! The exercise is wonderful for them, of course, and I am glad to know theyre learning self-defense skills. Victory Longwood has a great teaching staff and such a positive atmosphere--I recommend them highly!

My son Denali started his journey with Victory in August 2017 he was a shy lil boy that k ept to himself he struggled with bullying he had a hard time making friends and socializing so as parents we were desperate. A month after joining we saw such an amazing change in him he was blossoming the staff helped him find his voice and become a strong leader, they give him quality time and they are super caring with him we found that everyone is super friendly and they treat us like family and not just another money ticket ;) they are extremely helpful and they really work with you and your needs. I could have not asked for a better place for my son to attend we are excited to see what our future holds.

Review №21

I initially signed my 4yr old daughter up so that she could learn self-defense (knowing how crazy bullying has become out there). What I didnt realize that she would learn so much more! Shes learned leadership through helping lead the class, self-discipline, respect for herself and others and so much more! All of the instructors make it a point to remember everyones name (which is incredible to see since its such a large class AND group of parents). My daughters now 5yrs old and her attitude about chores, strangers and life has changed amazingly! I will say that just like a gym, you get the most out of it when youre consistently attending which is one area weve been struggling with, but Im not throwing in the towel. As a single mom, I do what I can and we love Victory MA Longwood and everyone there!

I enrolled my son a year and a half ago and he really loves the leadership program. My older daughter came to watch his class and wanted to try it and now she is hooked. A year later she lives and breathes taekwondo. Shes a teenager and was in a bad way and has made a total turnaround do to Victory. Mrs. Candela has made a huge impact on her life. You might say this program may have saved her life.

I can sing the praises of Victory Longwood all day if I could. We are truly blessed to have found this school. My son has started as a beginner like everyone else, and has thrived in his skills and technique as a martial artist, but most importantly, living out the life values of respect, discipline and having a “yes I can!” attitude in all facets of his life. We are very grateful for the leadership of Mrs. Candela and all the instructors. My husband likes to say that being part of Victory Longwood is the best thing that’s happened to us since relocating to Florida!

I absolutely detested my experience with Victory Martial Arts. I signed my son up and he ended up not going to any classes, so I cancelled the registration, but they kept trying to charge me. It has been almost 2 years, and despite my numerous requests for them to take my email from their mailing list, I still receive email from them on a weekly basis. I would never recommend this to anybody.

Review №28

Would love to give them 0 starsif I could. Don’t waste your time or money on this place. Don’t sign any contracts with them or pay in advance/auto-pay. I cancelled my 6 year old’s classes over 3 months ago and we have not stepped foot in their establishment in over 4 months for lessons. Not only will they not respond to my emails or calls, but I’m still getting billed by their billing company, SCS Billing, and am incurring late fees now which I’m sure at some point will go against my credit history. This is the worst customer service I’ve encountered. Check out their Better Business Bureau complaints. I’m not the first one they’ve done this to and I’m sure I won’t be the last. If you’re reading this, feel free to DM me and I’ll share with you my email communications with them that have gone unresolved. Hopefully, it’ll help you with future headaches!

I had a bad experience. Bad customer service. The manager left me talking because I was complaining due a bad advertising, because what she wanted was money. They offer discount and when you get there, it is a different thing. They try to enroll you. And they dont give you anything, only they want your money.

Mrs. Candella is a great teacher. She gives extra help when needed and works closely with my daughter to help her stay on track and keep focused. My daughter has become more confident and my 3 year old also joined and Mr. Quartin has been influential with him. I love that they are consistent and Mr. Bowden is extremely patient and positive in class. Mr. Carter is always helpful and is a great role model. All around a great group of people to support you and your kids. They have the best adult programs too. My husband and I were sore for days but it was much needed. You will love this location!

Review №33

Awful, horrible customer service w/any issues!! Many great schools & better pricing- trust me- go elsewhere!! The value of a business is how they treat customers once the contract is signed and they have your $$. Mrs. Candela is ultra-aggressive, persistently calling to sell her 1yr contract- and promises to freeze your account as needed- assures theres no problem people do it all the time... However *GOOD LUCK* getting her to come to the phone when u need that so called account freeze😵. *GOOD LUCK* when there are ANY BILLING ISSUES and you call every night & send multiple emails (not one response). Theres no voicemail service so youre forced to call every evening during class due to problems w/the phone service (so they say)-since April 2018??Since August over weeks of phone calls and emails, Ive received every excuse that Mrs Candelas unavailable, in a private lesson, not in the building, leave another message, Im sorry she doesnt call. I dont know why shes not calling you. Finally one night you hear her speaking in the background, demand to speak w/her and she has Mr. Carter relay a message that your account will be frozen. Playing little girl, hide and seek games like kindergarten, SHE WONT GET ON THE PHONE. God forbid your child has medical issues & needs a freeze or cancel I feel sorry for other reviewers also. You try to be patient and polite this is what she preys on. She will ignore you until you give up.On Sept 11th I called about prev emails I sent of billing errors of multiple monthly charges and Mr Candela answers the phone at Victory, states she hasnt read any emails, talks over me and hangs up!! IM NOT KIDDING. I call back and an assistant tells me shes on the phone, okay I say Ill hold, after she wont come to the phone hung up on again. Call again and she has Mr. Carter advise me shes left the building!! Mr. Carter tells me that CALLING IS HARASSMENT and THEY WILL CALL THE POLICE!! Is this comical yet??They take the phone of the hook- even better just saved my time-now to file complaints w/ BBB, customer service and written complaints to corporate...stay tuned.

This place is absolutely Awesome!! My son has gon for years, now & has become a 2nd degree black belt. It has helped him be more confident, disciplined and open to more ideas. You have a wonderful leader @ the school that just happens to be a World Champion & 6th degree black belt. How awesome is that!!! Gotta try this place out. They also have krav & kickboxing classes. You can take classes as a family, too. I Love it here!!!

Review №35

We had the most horrible experience at the Victory Martial Arts. Mrs. Kendela was extremely unprofessional. We signed up our son when he was less than three years old. She signed us up statingwe can try. we were bound in a contract. My son would not stay still through out all the classes. His school rasied red flags for sensory processing disorder and he is also asthmatic. The account upon request was put on freeze. Despite that, we were charged. After that I have been calling them up to cancel the account as per our agreement with Mrs. Kendela that if we decide to discontinue due to health reasons, we will do it. Mrs. Kendela has not been responding to the phone calls or messages. All they want is in the name of martial arts lure parents and just earn money and not a good will.

I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts in Longwood. From the first lesson our 12 year old son was hooked and saw something he wanted to be part of. The positivity and energy of the instructors is contagious. They are firm and kind, always upholding high expectations, but correcting and guiding gently. We saw our son improve immediately in respect, discipline, self-esteem, and caring. Wow! He now has goals and motivation to go along with it. Thank you Mrs. Candella, Mr. Bowden and Mr. Quartin!If youre wondering whether Taekwondo is something to try for your child, I encourage you to give it a go.

Review №37

Initially, my wife and I went to Victory Martial Arts to address behavioral problems that were developing with our son. What we discovered is that the old adage, the problem is with the parents, couldnt be more true. Victory enrolled us in a family package, with my son (3.5 yrs. old) taking Tae Kwan Do, my wife Kickboxing, and myself in Krav Maga. This total immersion experience has made all the difference in every aspect of our lives - work, home, school, and social. My highest expectations are constantly exceeded with this organization. Their preparation and delivery of principles and techniques consistently embody the school mantra, Yes, I Can! Silent bow to Mr. Singer and Ms. Tavani for their hard work and dedication.

I have unsubscribed from their emails five times in the last month and just got another one today. They are relentless, and I have no interest in my son ever taking karate from this place. I have emailed them, and called them about this issue. Does anyone have information on what I can do to stop these emails?
