From the reviews
My daughter started training at Maitland studio of Victory Martial Arts in August of 2020, at age 9. The instructors were great. The presented a rigorous, yet fun, environment to learn tae kwon do. As my daughter advanced, they worked with her to get her ready to compete (and do well) in tae kwon do tournaments.
Incredible instructors, Mr. Umphreys and Ms. Umphreys both care so much about their students and love what they do! Maitland is by far my favorite Victory school because of the positive environment created by the students, instructors, and program director.
Victory MA has been such a great experience for me and my son. Their instructors and staff are extremely helpful and personable, and go above and beyond for their students.
My daughter who is special needs has been involved with ATA FOR MANY YEARS. She is working on her 2nd degree black belt. She loves it.
New to Karate? Start at Victory Martial Arts
Victory Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Victory Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
