Reviews
We love Certain Victory! We've been coming for about 3 years for the Tiger program (both of kids) and recently my son graduated to the Lion program. We've also had multiple birthday parties with Certain Victory. We come to most of their events as well! They treat us like family - and they're so good with the kids. We couldn't ask for a better martial arts place!
I have been in the adult kickboxing and MMA classes for about 6 months. I would highly recommend this martial arts studio and I have done so to friends, family, and coworkers. For me, one of the biggest reasons I joined was to be kept accountable. Where I struggled in conventional gyms was attendance and taking time to research and create a quality routine. I attend classes because it is noticed when I’m not there, and I’m motivated to push myself harder than when I am on my own. It is also a comfort to me knowing that if my form is off, the instructors, who are very kind and knowledgeable, will let me know how I could do it better. Another cool thing is that every class is built a little different, to keep you on your toes and you are always learning something new. The workouts can be fun too. I appreciate that there’s a good selection of times to choose from, so I can fit classes in between working full time and then being busy with personal responsibilities from the moment I clock out. There is a really friendly culture and the other class members are really nice. What these classes have given me since I have started, perhaps a side effect, is the ability to better stand up for myself and speak up when I may not have spoken before, and that is really special to me. The strength picked up here carries into real life, so for someone like me who has a physically demanding job, it helps. I cannot reccomend this place enough. If you’ve read this far, take it as a sign to give them a call and try out a class. :)
My child has been training here for several years and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The instructors strike the perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, creating an environment where kids can learn martial arts fundamentals while building confidence and character. The classes are well-structured, keeping kids engaged while teaching important values alongside physical skills. They also offer additional evenings with fun activities so parents can drop their little ones off and have free time. The facility is clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this academy to other parents looking for quality martial arts instruction for their children. It's been a truly positive experience for our family.
My kids have been involved for almost a year now. They love it. Makes a big difference in their respect, attitudes, personal discipline, and personal confidence. I finally was able to start this month. Love how hard I’m being pushed and encouraged in the classes. I physically and mentally feel better. It’s nice being part of a community that works together to be better. The skills I’m growing in help me to be better and I get to enjoy this activity with my kids!
Certain Victory are so welcoming and inclusive. Our son really enjoys training and feeling like he's achieving something. All of the staff are friendly and motivated. Aside from training, there are always events going on that provide opportunities to come together as a group and get to know the whole CVMA family.
