Great location, great coaches, great value. It takes a lot of patience to teach this many kids at once, and they do a great job at it. Definitely recommend to anyone interested.

I’m very happy training at Victory MMA. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. I’m incredibly excited to grow with a group like Victory in my corner. I’ll be training there tonight so come on in and leave it all out of the mat with me! 💪

I trust the instructors to be fair and consistent with the kids. The teaching style really hammers home the movements and drills. And the kids are excited when it starts and when it ends. Highly Recommended.

Honest, down to Earth people and instructors at the gym. Really gives me a sense of community when Im there. The classes are well designed and will get you kicking butt in no time.

Very friendly stuff , we are very happy that we where able to find VICTORY MMA ACADEMY for our 7 year old son .

I’ve been going to victory martial arts for more and a year and I can recommend this place to anyone who want to learn martial arts. A very good place to learn and train with a welcoming environment and with cool instructors. Better than any gym I went to before coming here.

Great place and teachers!!! Alex and Will..Sophia love it and we will bring more friends..they are offering group and private classes

We LOVE Victory Martial Arts! Sensei Alex is energetic and attentive! The class is fast paced with little standing around time. My 4yo comes out exhausted. We especially love mat chats! Alex is not only teaching them physical skills, but also tools to make good choices and be a good person. I highly recommend to any family. A wonderful community.

The kickboxing and jiu-jitsu classes are a lot of fun and very informative. Theyre an awesome workout as well! Cant wait to come back!

Great program! My son loves it!

Great experience, very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend for anybody interested in martial arts. Thanks guys!

Weve been going to Victory for about two years and this class has helped with my sons focus tremendously. We love the positive atmosphere and the mat chat at the end of each session. This is a monthly topic that is talked about with the kids. Topics like respect, personal growth, not being negative, etc. Aside from learning the boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu techniques the positive message being given to the kids is priceless. This is what differentiates Victory MMA from any other class being offered out there. Alex does an awesome job with keeping the kids engaged throughout the entire class.

The childrens class is awesome. My daughter joined the class about 1 1/2 years ago and shes loved every moment of it. She really loves learning the punch combos and ground work. I love the fact that there is always plenty of assistant instructors in the class which means very child gets ample one on one attention. Also, Alexs mat chats really provides some ample life lessons. Highly recommended....

My kids love going to martial Art and sense Alex is one of the best martisl art sense he know how to work with kids. He is passionate and hard working 💪

Re adult classes: Great place to excersice the mind and body while having fun.

This is hands down the best gym in Illinois if youre interested in learning mma i highly recommended this gym not only will you learn a great skill from world class instructors but you will also get a great work out 💪

Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights - is the best place to get karate lessons for kids. Master Alex teaches them self-control, discipline, respect, focus and many more!My son looks forward to each class. He started not long ago but is eager to go every time. I recommend this place to any parent that is looking for karate lessons for their kids.Every lesson is ended with a life learning concept which prepares the kids for greater adventures!Kids love Master Alex! He always listens to the kids and he is the best instructor around 🙂

The kids class is awsome. My son has been coming here from last 3 years and he is waits for his class week on week. Alex(instructor) is someone all kids love to train from. He is so easy and friendly with kids. Super recommend Victory Martial Arts.

Victory is so much more then a Mixed Martial Arts gym. It is a family. It is a place people enter as one person and come out as a better person. If you are looking for a new start or a hope for change I highly recommend going to Victory and training under Alex. I have trained with Victory for several years. Alex is one of the best instructors as well as people I have ever met. He teaches and lives a true Martial Artists life. He has the skill, patients, and heart to teach adults and children a new way of life.The Arlington Heights gym is welcoming and fun. Men, Woman, Young, Old, no experience, experience everyone is welcome and everyone is treated the same. Grab a friend and come out to see what is it all about. Get ready to get a good workout, make friends, and learn how to protect yourself. Hope to see you there soon!

So I meet this company, well Alex more specifically, at my daughters school event. She was already in a class and we were just there because it was an event at her school. Lol well after listening to everything he said and preached about I just had to try them out. So here we are, part if the Victory family and honestly, this was the best decision I ever made. The strong value of anti-bullying and just being a good person is amazing. The fact there are almost always multiple teachers during her class is amazing. Each child is recognized as one as well as part of the group. Each child gets the help they need. And for the parents, it is just an amazing environment. Alex does mention how he holds us parent accountable to help practice with them at home, which is amazing because yes we take them to a class but as working adults and parents we can forget how much it means to be as involved as possible in the lives of our children. It is beyond amazing how Alex remembers each kids name. It feels just like a family being a part of The Victory Team. I recommend them to everyone who will listen. If you want a class where your child will learn great self defense skills along with self positivity and standing up for what is right, this is the place for you. I could not be happier here nor my child!!

Alex at Victory is hands-down one of the BEST teachers I have ever witnessed (like, across any sort of teaching Ive ever seen). He is so good with the kiddos -- He gives them Mat Chats at the end of class that frankly are just as valuable for the parents as they are for the kids. Everyone is always soaking them in -- The curriculum, the motivation he gives the weeOnes, all of it is just phenomenal. I highly, highly recommend this place for anyone with kiddos who might not fall into traditional, mainstream sports. Its worth its weight in gold!

This is a great place for kids, to build confidences and build amazing skills. Awesome instructors, environment and people. Sensai Alex really cares and goes above and beyond to help understand the move set. This is also an amazing place for adults. A lot of parent/kid convos at the dojo.

I have been attending the Victory MMA classes for the past 9 months (Tuesday & Thursday nights). Alex has been a great instructor, and now Nick has been helping lead the group on Tuesdays. Great place to start your MMA journey (no matter what age or gender ***The 7-9pm is the adult class***), as the instructors and fellow students are all high quality personnel. No judgment from either side, just fun, informative, and a great way to get some positive energy going during the week. Awesome work guys, keep it up!

Started going to this gym in July and Ive enjoyed it since. Ive noticed a lot of growth and all the teachers are really good. Especially Alex. They help you make sure you understand the moves. You wont regret it

Great teachers! Very energetic and a strong voice for the kids. I really liked the mental aspect of the class. Really great to see the have a class in Northbrook. My son really enjoyed his time there.

Great place. Son love taking class

Finding Victory was one of the best things thats ever happened to me. Im able to train in a safe and fun environment. It doesnt matter how much or how little experience you have; the instructor Alex is completely invested in making you the best martial artist you can me. My experience with Victory, from the people Ive met to the training itself, has been nothing short of amazing!

I first came across Victory in Arlington Heights on Yelp when I was looking for a Kickboxing class to take. I was looking for something a little more close-knit because I didnt want to feel like I was being treated as a number. Well I signed up for a free trial at Victory and I went in for a Monday class. Ill tell you right now, Alex is a great instructor that really knows how to coach a class. He not only made me feel really welcome, but everyone else in the class would also say hi as well. Everyone was incredibly friendly and is willing to help you become a better fighter. I signed up the right after the first day of class because I havent had that awesome/fun of a workout/class in a long time. I highly recommend Victory!

Alex is an amazing leader. The atmosphere is amazing and the values being taught to both kids and adults is really something special. Weather kid or adult if you are looking for top level training, a family feeling, or life direction. This is the place.

I first heard of Victory Mix Martial Art Academy through the book ”Way of the Warrior Kid” by Jocko Willink. My son was happy to hear there was a Victory Mix Martial within 5 minutes from our house.While the class seems to be organized chaos at first, the staff does an excellent job of keeping the class focus and engaged, while keeping it fun and positive.Even with a bigger Saturday classes, the instructor to students ratio still allows for one on one instruction.Plus the first two-week the free trial helped get us in the door before signing up.I would be remiss if I didnt give at least one piece of feedback for an opportunity for improvement. I wish there were a handout of the expectations and rules of the dojo when we first signed up. This may be on the website, and I may have overlooked it.Final thoughts: My wife and I would highly recommend Victory Mixed Martial Arts Academy.

This was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to be a well rounded fighter and Im getting that with all of the in depth striking, kickboxing, and grappling drills. Also its a great workout so your killing two birds with one stone! I look forward to coming every time and I always leave satisfied.

This is the best place happiness is found once you step foot on those mats. This is the best Ive experienced & you learn so many things quickly. At first I was shy of getting judged by or not being accepted but oh man you get along with everybody so quick. Youll walk out with a smile after every class master Alex & your partners are so friendly you feel comftorable quickly its the best of the best success starts here.

It is been a year my kid is going to Victory martial arts and he enjoys going to the class. The teacher is great and the Mat Chats he gives at the end of the class is beneficial for both the kids and adults.My kid used to be very quiet in the beginning and now he tries to participate in the conversation during the class.

My experience with Victory Martial Arts in Arlington Heights and Coach Alex is nothing but positive. if you want to be part of a gym where you work out in a friendly, respectful environment then this is the place to go. Coach Alex will take the time to help you but also push you to meet your goals and get a good workout. Everyone here is friendly and respectful and you will have a lot of fun training, meeting new people, and meeting your goals. I just started as a beginner in this gym and I already know I will be staying for a long time, Training under Alex is enough to make anyone want to stay. I suggest everyone to try this gym even if your unsure at first. I can assure you that after the first class you will be hooked.

Great experience and very professional and friendly trainers!!!

Towards the end of the year I decided to make a change in lifestyle and get fit. I wanted to have fun and put myself in the right environment to stay motivated. Ive always been a fan of mixed martial arts so I asked friends and family for suggestions on gyms and memberships. Based on both recommendations from family members who train at Victory and reading the online reviews I decided to try some of the classes. I spoke with sensei Alex who suggested I come in and participate in some classes with a free trial. Once I attended I knew why the recommendations and reviews are all excellent. The facility itself is extremely clean and accessible. The classes are highly motivating and effective for all experience levels. All of the students regardless of age and experience level are very approachable and I immediately felt like I was part of the team. I am extremely motivated to attend and feel disappointed when other life events or work get in the way of my training. After almost three months of changing my diet and attending classes I have lost just over 17lbs. I actually feel better in how I move and recover from any physical activity. I cannot recommend Victory Martial Arts enough. They are helping me change the way I live.

At Victory Martial Arts, both the instructors and the students are very welcoming. Before I joined, I had no prior training in any martial arts, but my training partners and instructors all took the extra steps needed to help me learn. I can’t emphasize enough how welcoming an atmosphere this is!The instructors here teach you techniques that are applicable to both beginners and advanced students. After a few months of training at Victory, I felt stronger, leaner, and well grounded in the basics of MMA. I strongly recommend giving Victory Martial Arts a try, as you will learn new skills, get in shape, and best of all, have a great time doing it!

I couldnt be happier with Victory MMA Arlington Heights. Since day one I was welcomed with open arms, the instructor Alex also all of the students are completely respectful which makes for a great atmosphere. Im on my third week but I can honestly say I was addicted after my second day. If youre looking for a place where you can get in a great workout meet some nice people have a good time and learn proper mix martial arts technique look no further.......🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

This school is fantastic!! Alex is great with all of the kids. The school teaches concepts surrounding the different forms of martial arts but also reinforces important life skills for young kids such as respect, discipline, manners, and teamwork. There are many schools in my town of Des Plaines but I look forward every week to going the extra 10 minutes to Victory martial arts. Ive seen a difference in my sons coordination and his interactions with others in a very positive manner.

Best coaches and transformative environment. Kids train hard and gain invaluable life skills - discipline, focus, hard work, team work.

Alex is a great teacher, very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend anyone to join or try it out!

I wish there were more stars to rate with because Victory Martial Arts is worth all 5 and more!Coming up on my 2nd year attending, I can honestly say that this place has changed my life for the better. Not only are the instructors welcoming and knowledgeable, but they have this unique ability to sincerely care about their students. Even if youre only looking to learn martial arts and/or get a good workout, Victory will surely surpass all expectations. Top notch curriculum & equipment, amazing environment, and even greater people. Youll be hard pressed to find a better place...So, what are you waiting for? Take a chance and walk through those doors. You wont regret it!

Head coach Alex is very experienced and patient. Great understanding and ability to pass the knowledge. I have been involved with mma for 6+ years and is a fantastic gym for me I have also brought friends with 0 experience and they too have liked it. A great gym for any level.

Victory Martial Arts is the best place to go for martial arts training. You learn a lot very quickly and sensei Alex is very good at teaching and is always happy to help you if you dont understand something. Everyone is very nice and it doesnt take long at all to get comfortable and make new friends. Training here is definitely the best option.

Kids have been training here for 3 months & they love it - I def recommend this place!

I am thankful that we came across Victory Martial Arts. This place treats you like family. Alex is the best at what he does. He really takes the time to engage with all the kids. I was impressed how Alex motivates the kids. He doesn’t just teach kids how to defend them selves he’s also taking the time to teach them how to deal with life in general. This clas is all around great. Great crew, great location and the price is reasonable. Extremenly happy with my sons results. Victory Martial Arts Thanks for all you do! It’s an honor to be part of the program.

Excellent instructors and a welcoming environment.

At first when I started thinking about learning Jui-Jitsu, I was worried that the sport might be too intense for me. When I joined Victory Martial Arts I realized that it is actually a very fun, enjoyable sport. People there are very fun and very considerate. Alex is an amazing instructor, he pours his heart out to teach the martial arts. He teaches the technique to a great detail and makes sure people practice in a safe manner. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Live, love, matter... learn to be present in your life, focus on your relationships, find joy and make a positive impact in the dojo (classroom, work, etc). The mat chats with Sensei Alex at Victory MMA are everything! He is a cool dude and understands what is truly important in life. As a parent, it is so powerful for my son to hear these messages from Sensei. My son carries this joy and focus with him to school and into our home.We have been attending MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) for a year in the 4 to 7 year old class. I love being on the bleachers in the dojo to watch the class and hear the mat chat. This helps us reinforce the message at home and also practice the moves of the month.It is very easy to get acclimated to class. Sensei Alex is kind and has a genuine passion. There are also a number of Sensei Dads that take the adult class and help out with the kids class. They are all such lovely people! Everyone has a smile and is excited to be in the dojo training. The energy is contagious and the kids have a lot of fun while also learning discipline, confidence and focus.We are so grateful to be part of the Victory family!

My first day in I had a really enjoyable experience and I was welcomed with open arms. What I noticed the most is how kind the instructors were. I am so happy and thankful to have found this place, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds in my training here!

This place is awsome for kids, its good for learning martial arts , so far best place in town.

This is the best place Ive ever trained at. The people who train their are great, and fun to work with. The instructor Alex does an outstanding job. I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts for all.

Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights is a awesome place to learn! Alex is a great instructor and everyone who attends is so helpful if you feel lost or cant get a move down. Looking forward to keep training here :)

There seems to be an MMA gym on every other street corner nowadays. The sport has grown so much and so fast that I think we can consider it mainstream.However, although its exponential growth has produced plenty of talented instructors and practitioners, unfortunately the character development that the martial arts helps one to foster doesnt always follow suit.Quite honestly, if you want to learn MMA, there are plenty of qualified individuals out there. However, if you want to learn MMA from a qualified instructor, WHILE learning how to become the best version of yourself, this is the place you need to be.To paraphrase Jordan Peterson, Dont just learn how to be dangerous. Learn how to be kind because you are dangerous.

I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to meet some great people, looking to get in shape, and learn some cool moves. They have a really great curriculum they teach, for all levels doesnt matter where your starting. Coach Alex is more than just a coach or a teacher hes a true friend . If your looking for a true MMA experience, this is definitely the place . Osss.

I would highly recommend Victory Martial Arts Arlington heights to beginners and veterans of the sport. At Victory Martial Arts you will learn a variety of boxing, wrestling, BJJ, and combination drills that will hone your skills in martial arts. I am happy to be a part of this organization and highly suggest this gym.

It has been an awesome experience learning from all the instructors. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn or just get an amazing workout.

Great teachers for all levels! What surprised me most was how great they are with kids as well as adults.

Its super fun and cool

I have four of my children doing the kids program for 5 years now. We know a good class and instructor when we see one! With Alex Krotiak leading Arlington Heights, you are in for some great training. You can be the best fighter in the world, but if you can not teach others then you are not effective. Alex has a gift for teaching!! Alex Krotiak, from Arlington heights, has taught all of my children. Victory has a great program for every age group(not just kids) and experience level. We love the family atmosphere and everything that Victory stands for! Alex has the ability to help you learn no matter your experience level and he is one reason why this program is successful. If you are thinking about trying Victory in Arlington Heights, DO IT!! Its fun, SAFE, affordable, effective and just a great group of people to surround yourself with. Arlington Heights has one of the best instructors, students and parents around...

Exceptional adult classes. A great place to go for people of every skill level.

This is the best gym I have ever trained at Ive been coming here for over a year and Ive learned a lot if youre into mma and want to learn it i highly recommend joining this gym coach Alex is very knowledgeable and very helpful and the rest of the team treats u like a family. In my opinion its a very respected gym and its the best way to work out

Victory martial arts is such a great learning environment and The best gym I have ever trained at. Alex being the one who teaches us everything, is very knowledgeable in what he does and focuses on his students to make sure they make the best out of what they learn and most importantly he’s super motivational. I take the MMA and Kickboxing classes, as well as the No Gi juijitsu and Competition Sparring classes and it’s the best decision I have ever made. Technique is something I wanted to work on the most and Victory Martial Arts makes that possible. This is a fantastic gym with the opportunity for any level of experience to get better at what they do and want to accomplish no matter what the goal is! 10/10 recommendation

Its by far the best mma gym I have ever been to. Its amazing that they have so many different trainers!!

Great gym!!

I recently moved up from Alabama and wanted to pick up a new hobby and meet some local people. Ive always been interested in muay thai and jiu-jitsu, so I searched around and found this place. I am very glad I gave them a chance, because Alex and the other instructors have been awesome since day one. They know what they are talking about and deliver the content in a patient, easy to understand way that makes it easy for beginners to jump right in. The other trainees there are also very friendly and it makes for a welcoming atmosphere, even for someone who isnt a local. I highly, highly recommend this place!

I went to Victory MMA on a recommendation from a friend, a longtime martial arts student. I was immediately greeted warmly and introduced to the students who were already in class. Once class began, it was tailored for each student reflecting their individual skill level. I trained in two classes and found both of them to be the perfect mix of technique, skills, and workout. Just the right type of instruction for an experienced martial artist or a new student. Alex, the instructor, is remarkably skilled in both martial arts and intrapersonal communication--resulting in an extremely warm and appropriately challenging marital arts experience. I would highly recommend this gym to new students, kids, and avid MMA players.

Victory martial arts is a great place alex takes a great passion in teaching and going step by step to show those with little experince and/or experienced looking to polish..its a great atomsphere all around. Take control of your body,mind, and surroundings around you. Great workouts, fundamentals, awesome time every class

Victory MMA is amazing! Our kids have been practicing MMA with Sensei Alex for awhile now and it’s been great. They have learned so much and Sensei Alex teaches not only wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, bjj, but also gives Mat Chats at the end of every class to instill in the kids that MMA is also about Respect and Honor and a mentality do be a better person . It shows Sensei Alex really cares about the kids. They have adult classes too! We had one of daughters birthday party there as well and it was great! All the kids loved playing games with Sensei Alex and loved the Dojo. The whole family enjoys attending the classes and come out of them with a sense of confidence. Thanks Sensei Alex for all you do!

I have been attending the striking class twice a week for a month and a half now. I am a beginner to any type of trained fighting..or MMA, though i have an athletic history. I am also a female. I was very nervous at first, but i quickly became acclimated. The environment is very positive and MMA in general is very grounding...in the moment. I am using what i learn to help improve all aspects of my life by gaining discipline, confidence in my intent and movements , and strength. Alex is always upbeat (even on saturday mornings) and really creates a great space to come to and escape daily life for the betterment of self. Everyone seems to be at different levels, even body type, but the respect is always there- which i appreciate because again, i am a beginner- so i feel very comfortable in going there and just doing my best and pushing myself always to improve. I look forward to the hard work each class, i honor it...it is strengthening me. Alex is approachable, respectful, informative, professional yet personal, and clearly knows what he is talking about. The heavy focus on technique i feel to be crucial because then when the focus shifts to sparing less cooperatively, it seems the muscle memory kicks in. This is the only training I have received, but it does truly feel to be taught as an art form at this location which is exactly what i was looking for, being an artist myself.I would absolutely recommend training here with Alex and the group of individuals who attend his classes- beginner or not, it is a great environment for all ages and skill levels.

My son has been a student at Victory MMA for about 3 years (back when there were only about 4 kids in the class). My hopes honestly were just to get him introduced to the mat in preparation for his future wrestling career in a way that wouldnt get him burned out like so many kids I know that get forced to wrestle at such a young age. This has turned out to be so much more than that for him. He learns more about respect and honor and making good habits than he does anything else. Ive seen my son grow not just as a martial artist, but as person; inside and outside of the dojo.Sensei Alex Krotiak is absolutely amazing and it is no wonder that the class has gotten so popular that he had to add another youth class due to the overwhelming demand by parents to get their kids in his program. I absolutely love this place and all they do, I cant say enough good things about it. I would recommend Victory MMA without hesitation to anyone looking lead their children down a fulfilling journey of respect, discipline and of course, self defense.

Ive been training at Victory Martial Arts for the past couple months ands its been a blast! I joined to train my passion, Muay Thai, but since Ive started training at Victory Im getting hooked on JuJitsu and becoming a more well-rounded fighter. Sensei Alex is a really cool guy & awesome at what he does! Check this place out!!!

Awesome place LOVE IT!!!!!I highly recommended,i have three of my kids and my husband just join.....it is so great to see a great discipline and focus improving in my kids,specially my son,the other members make you feel like they know you for a long time, my kids love their SENSEI Alex,its a great place for kids and adults.

I love the atmosphere and conditioning. Not to mention, the vast breakdown of techniques. As well as the repetitive style of teaching is a huge plus!

Victory is a awsome place you learn new things every day and every body is nice there and if you need help on the lesson the people and the maester will help you. The maester is a great teacher he teaches you step by step how to do the lessons. I know victory is a great place so you can learn martial arts.

Victory Martial Arts is everything I was and am looking for in a MMA gym. The class sizes allow for you to work with many people of different skill sets and sizes. The class sizes also allow you to receive personal advice and demonstration on the techniques from the instructor that are the focus of the classes that week or month. Speaking of instructors, all 3 of the instructors that I have learned under during my time at Victory have been gracious and truly cared about my growth as a martial artist and a person. The current instructor even asked me after class if I would like to train one on one with him for another half hour. The facility is clean and you can tell that there is full effort taken to keep the facility clean and sanitary. There is plenty of mat space and I have rarely ever felt like my training was ever effected by the amount of training at available. If you do not own equipment Victory has equipment that you can use so that your training during their current lessons is not hindered from your lack of equipment. They also have no problem providing advice on equipment they believe is worth owning. The last and most intangible thing is the feeling of family. It truly is the Victory family. Youre supported by everyone, trainers, other class members, and it extends outside the gym. Victory members will go watch UFC fights together or try to bring a following when their own gym member is participating in a fight night. It truly is a great atmosphere to get everything you want to get out of MMA, as long as you are willing to work for it.

I’ve always wanted to learn martial arts but never found the time to do it. When I finally decided to do it, I came across Victory Martial Arts and took a chance. I’m glad I did and now I can’t imagine myself training at any other martial arts school.Not having experience in any martial arts felt intimidating at first but the fact that everyone was willing to help out and work with me made my first day enjoyable. I’ve been attending Victory Martial Arts for months now and I have learned so much already. You get to work with instructors that not only help you learn the techniques but also encourages you to strive to become better as an individual. Sensei Alex is very skilled, knowledgeable and passionate about martial arts. The gym/dojo always have a positive and welcoming atmosphere. You also get to work with other students with different skill level and learn from them. The monthly curricula are awesome and the conditioning drills are fun and challenging.Victory Martial Arts offers different programs for adults and children alike. I highly recommend trying/joining Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights.

The BEST for youth training!My son loves it here.

I started just about a month ago and can not even tell you how happy I am I decided to start this MMA class. The instructor Alex is a great guy that really knows his stuff and teaches at a great pace. Does not matter if you are walking in with advanced skills or bran new to the sport he makes the class and training work for all. In just one month I feel like I have not only learned so much about the techniques of MMA but I feel more in shape, more flexible, and all around much more healthy. Cant wait to see how I feel after 1 year!

I have been training mixed martial arts for a few years now and I can honestly say that Victory martial arts in Arlington heights has been one of the best gyms I have ever been to. It is an amazing atmosphere to train in. The coaches are great and very knowledgeable and take the time to train you proper technique. Everyone at each of their locations are extremely friendly and really make you feel part of the victory family.Victory has incredible programs that will take your fitness to the next level. While training different techniques we also go through some tough drills that will make you feel extremely proud of yourself for completing them.Victory changed my life for the better. I wasnt in the best of places when I started but Sensei Grisko and Sensei Alex taught me how to get through the tough times. They showed me what martial arts is really about and that is respect and honor! Without them I wouldnt be them man I am now and I am forever grateful to them and Victory. I strongly recommend anyone who has trained before or is interested in starting, to join Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights, you will not regret it. 764 W Algonquin Road, Arlington heights, IL 60005.

I visited this gym because my friend Andy was a regular member. Ive been looking for an mma gym for a while now and Id say if youre looking for an mma gym for both beginners and advanced martial artists, I say look no further than victory martial arts in Arlington Heights. They made me feel welcomed but more importantly I got an amazing workout and learned a lot of technique in boxing. Phenomenal gym...

Great place to train, get fit and improve your life. Great people and atmosphere!!!! :)

This place is the real deal when it comes to martial arts because it truly is a Mixed Martial Arts School.Styles like Kickboxing , Karate, Muay Thai Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Knife & Stick Fighting, etc are taught in an easy to understand manner. Every months curriculum is new and exciting. Also, no matter what the skill level, body type, age or, gender, they will accommodate.I didnt join to lose weight, but I have. I didnt join so I could defend myself, but now I can. I joined to be part of something larger; a family. This is exactly what they are to me, MY FAMILY. And for this reason, as well as the others mentioned, I Recommend Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights to everyone.So I encourage you, if you are in or near the 60005 zip code, stop in and give Victory Martial Arts Arlington Heights a try, youll be glad you did.

Ive learned a lot from Alex Krotiak! He is an amazing instructor, he really knows how to break everything down for you to understand. I have truely become a well rounded fighter from training at Victory! from their kickboxing to their jujitsu they are very knowledgable! Glad I decided to come here! One of the best mma schools out here! 👊🏼

Best kid mma class I have seen alex is great with the kids

If youre looking for an mma gym look no further. I came to Victory MMA years ago with zero mma experience and its honestly one of the best decisions Ive made. This place isnt just about learning martial arts. The atmosphere is amazing and you will make friends as you get in great shape and build self-confidence. Sensei Alex is the best instructor you could ask for. Very knowledgeable, an excellent teacher and really one of the nicest people Ive met. Give this place a try and I promise you wont regret it!

I highly recommend Victory MMA at Arlington Heights. I have trained before and I started again here and I am loving it. Alex our sensei is a great guy who is very devoted to his students and has lot of knowledge on the MMA discipline. Each day I come out of the class as a better person both physically and mentally.

I started out at victory MMA arlington height just under a month ago and have learned so much !! Definitely happy I found this place ! Everyday I look forward to coming to class and working in a very friendly atmosphereSo if youre look for either mma/kickboxing/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes I definitely recommend checking this place out!

I joined this class about a month and a half ago with no prior MMA training. My experience has been very positive and I plan to continue training here to further my progression. Whether you are looking into MMA training for weight loss, self-defense, or the pure sport of it, Alex (our coach), is very motivated to help all of us reach these goals and to better ourselves in and out of the dojo - training facility.A typical day starts out with about 10 minutes of warming up and stretching. Next, we train ‘stand up’ (boxing and kickboxing) for about half the class, followed by training our grappling skills (so far it has been mostly jiu-jitsu). At the end, we always do a mind and body challenging work out as a team. Last but not least, ‘mat chat.’ As we are all huffing and puffing from the previous workout, we gather around and learn a life lesson or two that betters us both in and out of MMA.I have and continue to recommend this class to others, I would think a dojo is only as good as its master… Alex is very skilled, motivated, calm, well spoken, and easy to learn from. I hope to see more people gain this experience along with us.

I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts Academy in Arlington Heights!!!!Every time I come in to train I feel like I leave as better person.While at the dojo I am constantly learning, having fun, and making friends all while getting into better shape.From the first day I stepped foot on the mats I knew that I was in the right place.I could tell that the instructors and the students all cared for one another and had a passion for their trainingI never though that by learning... (Jujitsue, wrestling, judo, boxing, kickboxing, and Muy Thai)… that it would have such positive impact on mine and familys life. Being a martial artist at Victory has taught me SOOOO MUCH!The atmosphere of the dojo always puts a smile on my face. Anyone that lives in the 60005 area code should stop in and try some free classes so they can experience it for themselves.Victory has Kids Martial Art Classes and Adult MMA classes so that everyone in the family can train.I am VERY GRATEFUL for my Victory Family!!!!!
