You are family from the minute you step into the door. All of the mentors there teach you discipline, strength, and most important respect. They will push you until you give up and even then some. It will make you in great shape, put you in a good mind set, and make you a better person. They will tell you what you are doing wrong and help correct any mistakes that you make. I can’t say anything better then this is the greatest place you will go to hands down. Sign up give it a shot if you don’t like it at least you can say that you have tried it. You only live once make it count, step out of your comfort zone do something that is going to make you happy.

I can’t say enough great things about Victory Martial Arts. Sensei Jason, Sensei Adam and all the staff at the dojo are great and really put their all into what they do. They are so filled with passion and are great with the kids as well as the adult classes! I always leave the dojo in a great mood. I HIGHLY recommend Victory Martial Arts in Naperville!

I cannot say enough about this place. My kids and I have been training here over 4 years and love it more each time we are there. The instructors are amazing martial artists as well as teachers. The clientele are great people as well. All of us at Victory treat each other like family and sincerely help one another to make each other better.

I have had the pleasure of teaching the kids and adults MMA program here for 2 years now and it has been the highlight of my week! Its always a breath of fresh air stepping into the dojo, having the luxury of training such wonderful people.The community is strong here at Victory and everyone always seems to feel right at home. I recommend Victory to anyone who is looking for a Positive/Motivating training atmosphere, with people who are driven & goal oriented and fun! Wether you’ve trained/competed for years or you’ve never even stepped foot on the mats before...Victory is a great place for anyone!

This is easily one of the best MMA dojo’s you can find in the area especially for some of the most affordable prices. The people here are extremely nice so it’s great to do just for fun but if you want to compete, it’s great as well. Anybody who’s been aspiring to train MMA should definitely go here, 10/10!:)

This place is way more than just martial arts school. Our daughter is training with sensei Adam for more than two years and we couldn’t be happier. The kids don’t just learn fighting skills, they learn how to be confident, disciplined and how to become nice and kind people.I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts.

I am so happy my son goes here!!! It really has done wonders for his self confidence. The instructors are great and sensei Adam has an amazing way with kids! It really goes beyond just martial arts, they teach kids about honesty, focus, respect, to name just a few. I love the mat chats at the end of the classes, they are all about motivation and positive reinforcement. Considering joining myself!😀

Moving to America from Sweden I was looking for a place to continue my boxing training. I found Victory Martial Arts and from the first day I walked in to class I knew I would love this place. Both students and instructors are extremely welcoming and supportive and they do everything they can to make you feel like home. The instructors are very good and know what they are doing and the students do all they can to help you out whether you are a beginner or more advanced. They have both morning and evening classes and they are all great so no matter what your schedule looks like you will find a time to train that works for you. When I first came here 9 months ago I knew boxing and a little bit of wrestling. Now, thanks to Victory, Im a better fighter than ever. They got me back in to wrestling, they helped me win my first grappling tournament, they taught me kicks and knees and so much more. Going back to Sweden and training with my old boxing club again I noticed that even my boxing game had been getting better, which was a happy surprise since boxing has not been the main focus like it was before. I am beyond grateful for having had the chance to train with Victory and for them showing me how wonderful martial arts are when you mix them all together instead of just sticking to one art. I love this sport, I love this academy and I love the people in it! They made my year in America the best ever.

Our three children ages: 5, 13 and 17 absolutely love going to train at Victory Martial Arts.Adam and the other instructors are amazing, they explain the moves and help the children achieve their best.Our children couldnt be more different due to their ages and personalities but they love it there and we couldnt be happier to find an activity that they can all do together.

My son and I decided to try the two week trial at Victory Martial Arts in Naperville together. After two weeks we have both chosen to enroll at the school. The experience has been fantastic. The teachers and students at the school have been very welcoming and made us feel right at home. From the beginning it was very easy for us to fit right into the program and everyone has been helpful in learning the variety of training they offer.We look forward to the evenings that we can attend.

Ive been training here for a good few months now and even from the start wanted to come every day to train because the teaching is not only great but the people of victory as well. I felt very welcomed into this gym at the start and they have certainly helped me on my path of being a mixed martial artist and as well as a better athlete in general.

I have only been going to victory for 2 months now and I absolutely love it. My coaches and class members are great they push you to do things that you never thought you could do. When I walk out of there I am tired and sore but in my mind I feel like I can take on the world. They really treat you like family and take the time to help you. I highly recommend Victory to anyone who is looking to lose weight, build confidence, and achieve their goals.

I have been attending classes here for the last month. Not only are the instructors extremely helpful, but everyone here seems to have my best interests in mind. The workouts are incredible, the other students are friendly, and I have learned a great deal in my short time here.Highly recommended for anyone interested in the sport, anyone looking for a good workout, anyone who wants to learn to fight, or anyone just looking to try something new.Oh, and the first two weeks are completely free. No bogus contracts.

I have been going to MMA classes in Naperville at Victory for three months. I was apprehensive about walking in the door because I didn’t know what to expect. The first time I went in I tried to tiptoe over to the desk to grab a brochure without disrupting the class or being noticed. I was immediately greeted by three instructors who were very welcoming and made me feel at home. Two days later I was in my first class and I have been going consistently ever since. From kid’s classes to women’s classes there is something for everyone. You can definitely find classes that suit your needs and your pace. Whether your goals are to drop a few pounds, learn self-defense, join the competition team or step in the cage, this school has classes and instructors that will help you meet your goals. All of the instructors are excellent people. It is a very positive environment. The two week free trial is a great way to find out if this school is for you and I’m sure you will realize immediately that it is the right choice.

I was looking for a new challenge in my life, and decided to give mixed martial arts a try. I noticed that Victory Martial Arts consistently receives inspiring online reviews, so I went ahead and started the 2-week free trial. From day one, both the instructors and the students were very welcoming. I had no prior training in any martial arts, but no problem, as my training partners and instructors all took the extra steps needed to help me learn.The instructors here dont just teach you techniques, but also provide inspirational life lessons. They all have similar characteristics of positivity, enthusiasm, motivation, patience, honor, and sense of humor. After a few months of training at Victory, I felt stronger, leaner, more confident, and well grounded in the basics of MMA. And although I am by no means an expert, I now find myself in the position to help newer students as they get started, which is very rewarding. I strongly recommend giving Victory Martial Arts a try, as you will not only learn a skill and get in shape, but also could be in for a life-changing experience!

Having joined Victory about a month ago, I have to say it has been one of the best decisions I have made in awhile. Ive loved it so much, I even got my girlfriend to come try it with me, and shes loved it too! Everyone is very welcoming, and its a great environment. The teaching is also top notch. If you are looking into joining an MMA gym, I would definitely recommend Victory be the one you choose!

I have been attending Victory Martial Arts for about a year and a half now and I enjoy it very much.

I recommend Victory Martial Arts Naperville because it builds relationships through encouragement and trust. It’s these RELATIONSHIPS that set this place apart from others. The Instructors and students welcome you with open arms. Day one of the Academy you will hit the ground running without feeling behind or left out. Yes, you will get into great physical shape. Yes, you will learn how to defend yourself. However, it is because of these special relationships that I recommend Victory Martial Arts Naperville.

My 4 year old son started attending Victory Martial Arts a couple months ago and he absolutely loves it! Adam is such a wonderful teacher, combining discipline with fun and lots of energy in each and every one of his classes. It couldnt be more perfect for my son. Each child is encouraged throughout the whole class, and the control he has of the students is really remarkable i think, for them being so young. My son wants his teacher to be proud of him because he respects him. The matt chats they do each class teach these kids such wonderful, practical life lessons that are a great extension of what my husband and i are trying to instil in our children at home. I highly recommend Victory Martial Arts!

Victory Martial Arts is great. Anyone looking for martial arts / MMA experience, technique, a great workout, and/or an amazing positive atmosphere will thoroughly enjoy Victory Martial Arts.

Review №47

When I first signed up for classes at Victory Martial Arts I was incredibly nervous; I didnt know anyone, was out of shape, and had no experience in any activity like this. The worrying was for nothing though- everyone at the gym was incredibly helpful and friendly. There was absolutely no pressure to jump into anything I wasnt ready for yet and I loved that I was able to go at my own pace until I could keep up with the tempo of the class.Joining Victory was the best decision Ive made in a long time. Not only am I back in shape and losing weight, but Im learning lifelong skills. I have more confidence and feel much safer now that I have a better understanding of mma and self-defense. Its a great feeling to know that you can defend yourself if you ever have to.The best part of VMAA are the people. Everyone is super approachable and willing to help you out if you need it; I learn almost as much from my classmates as I do the instructors! Not to say that the instructors arent extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but its rare to find such a large group of people so willing and excited to help you further your skills. The instructors themselves are patient, enthusiastic, humble, and deeply invested in their students. They are always willing to go out of their way to help you out and give a tremendous amount of individual attention to each and every person in their class.If youre interested in getting in shape, learning self-defense, or becoming more knowledgeable in mixed martial arts, Victory Martial Arts is the place to go.

Victory is more than just a place to get a workout and learn. The owner of the Naperville location cares about each and every one of the students that walks through the door. When you sign up with Victory, you join a unique family that will always go out of the way to slow something down if you dont understand, and includes you no matter what level of training you are at. The Naperville instructors have a lot of experience, but go out of the way to make sure that nobody is put down, nobody is left behind, and that is why I will stay with Victory.

Walked into Victory Naperville at the beginning of June this year. I was very hesitant to go initially as I didnt know anyone at the gym nor did I have any martial arts experience. I loved the sport of MMA and wanted to try it so I researched MMA in the Chicago area and discovered Victory. I was amazed at the overwhelmingly positive reviews and really couldnt seem to find a bad one. That was all it took for me to decide to show up. Within about two minutes in the doors I was greeted by 5-10 different people all with smiles on their faces welcoming me to the family. I took one class and have been going 3-4 times a week ever since. You jump right in sparring with anyone and everyone in the room. Its an addicting experience, working out at Victory; you feel great after every class physically and spiritually. I learn something new everyday and it really has given me everything I was searching for and more. Im on the road a lot with my job so morning classes on Tuesday and Friday are awesome. Come checked out Victory, youll be glad you did.

I reccomend Victory Martial Arts In Naperville because... the moment I walked through the door I felt welcomed. The students are so friendly and the instructors are genuinely interested in helping me acheive my goals. As I was told over the phone, they are the Victory Family and I am privileged to now be apart of it. I am grateful for the weight I have lost, for the new friends I have made, and love taking class. I am improving my knowledge and skills every time I walk into the doors.*** I wish I had the opportunity to take the kids class when I was younger! :)

What a special place Victory-Naperville is. With zero martial arts/MMA experience I walked through the door for the 2 week trial and was hooked immediately. A welcoming, non-intimidating atmosphere along with trainers who not only know what theyre talking about, but are great at communicating proper techniques and are all for challenging everyone with physical conditioning, Victory-Naperville was exactly what I wanted. A reason to get back into excellent shape. With the knowledge Ive gained, the workouts in each class and the awesome personalities of everyone that teaches and attends class I would recommend this to anyone with the slightest bit of interest in a martial arts. Every class is filled with lessons not only on MMA but for life as well.Thank you so much to everyone involved with the Victory family

Review №54

This place is beyond compare: RARELY do you find somewhere that treats not just the physical, but the mental and spiritual as well.Ive been attending since February 2013 and I never expected my life to change so drastically. Sure, Im gaining the physical and health benefits: Ive lost 16.5 lbs, my endurance and cardio are better than they were in high school (or rather, in my entire life), and my technique continues to improve in strides. However, while health and physical goals continue to be attained, the most important aspect has been the evolution Ive experienced in my mind and attitude. The wisdom, on not just Mixed Martial Arts but on life, is a constant eye opener and a constant application.The Senseis have become mentors, the students - like family and all strive to improve quality of life for those who remain dedicated and involved. Even the kids are at a level that is rarely seen: their ability to appreciate others, do well in school, and present themselves as true martial artists in all sense of the word is remarkable.Having the Victory family has been a constant blessing. No matter what goal you have (physical, mental, spiritual) or even if you dont have a goal, Victory will help get you there and take your life to a whole new level of training that you wont see or experience anywhere else. GUARANTEED.

My almost 9 year old son has been attending Victory for about 3 months now. He loves it. When we first joined we where welcomed by everyone. I got to know many of the parents while my son got to know all of the kids. I look forward to Monday nights as much as my son does.Adam is an amazing Sensei, Coach, Trainer, Motivator, and Friend to the kids and parents. My son looks up to him and has another great man to learn to emulate. Adam has taken time out to talk with my son on the side when he is having a hard time at school or just needs help on a technique. Victory is much more then an MMA gym, it is a family. I have been impressed with every trainer at that gym. They are great with the kids.Watching my son train got me interested so I tried the adult session on Mondays. If you are looking for a FUN, and great workout this is the place to be! Everyone is so nice, helpful, and welcoming. Woman and men are both welcomed the same way!If you are even considering coming, try the 2 week trial for free! You will not regret it!

I started attending martial arts classes about 6 moths ago after my father had passed away suddenly. I needed an outlet for some of the stress and negative emotions that I was experiencing. Sensei Grisko and his extremely knowledge and friendly instructors welcomed me with open arms as I started my martial arts journey. Both my body and mind have been made stronger due to the teachings of the Adam Grisko and his awesome team. I would recommend victory martial arts to any and every one; child, teen, and adult. It is a place I wish i could have discovered 10 years ago. and if I had children it would be a place that i shared with them too!

Its high paced, an awesome workout and a great place to better your skills. Aside from the matt stuff there are also great life lessons built into the classes and even a five minute positive life talk at the end of each class. If I ever find myself in the Chicago land area I will 100% be returning to Victory MMA. Sensei Adam, you truly are a great guy.

Sensei Adam does an excellent job teaching the kids not only MMA, but he also does a great job in the mat chat lesson each week. I can’t say enough how great of a teacher Sensei Adam is! Since joining Victory, I have noticed an increase confidence level in each of them that has helped them both in school and other sports they play. I would highly recommend Victory MMA.

Review №69

I researched several martial arts dojos, particularly from a children’s perspective since two of my kids (8 and 5 years old) wanted to learn self-defense techniques. Victory Martial Arts stood out as the leading dojo. They have a unique way of integrating the time-honored traditions of respect, self-discipline, and confidence, with the relevant combat techniques of MMA, best suited for modern-day defense situations. My children love going to class, are eager to practice at home, and embrace the “mat chats” at the end of each class, which focus on being a better person.Having full confidence that my kids were in good hands, we decided to make it a family affair. My wife and I also train at the dojo and the adult classes are phenomenal. They are suitable for adults (male and female) at different age/skill/fitness/goal levels. As a 39 year old male with limited experience in combat sports, I was a little intimidated my first day. That feeling dissipated within minutes. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and there are no egos. For those with a strong competitive spirit, a competition team is available for advanced training. For women who are a little apprehensive, you will find comfort in the female only kickboxing class.I encourage you to utilize their 2-week free trial period. You will not be disappointed. They also offer affordable family rates, although you will quickly become a “grappling dummy” to your kids.

Victory MMA is absolutely changing my life. I walked into Victory Naperville a broken person. Through the lessons I am learning both in martial arts and life, I regained a lost confidence I thought I would never regain- and an amazing, supportive group of people. It is an incredible positive, energetic, place which is dynamic and fulfilling no matter what your goals are-whether it is learning a new skill, getting active, or competing one day- Victory MMA (Naperville) will get you there.

Review №71

I was very skeptical about joining a mma gym, my therapist had suggested boxing and when i was searching for boxing gyms, naperville mma came up in the results. What got my eye was the free two week trial. so i decided to fill out the request and check it out. When i got there I was extremely nervous, i am a very small person with no fighting experience at all and i was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was extremely helpful and patient with me, that touched me and showed me that the instructors really care about you as a person and not about your wallet like most places. I started in july and the only regret i have was not starting sooner, i came into victory as a person with no self esteem, drowning in self pity and slowly turning into a person that no longer hates the world. I am alot more positive and outgoing than i was when i first started. Thanks to victory not only am i getting a great workout physically, im getting a mental one too. it is such a humbling experience and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get in shape and have a blast doing it. The difference you will see at victory is you are treated like family from day one. Check it out, a free two week trial. You have nothing to lose.

Review №72

At Victory Martial Arts in Naperville you can tell that the teachers are genuinely invested in you--the instructors actually care. That made a big difference for me when selecting an MMA school. The culture in this dojo is very special. You can describe it as a family, but it is more than that. What is special about Victory is that its students are not only there to learn, but also to contribute to the success of others. I have been training consistently for 5 months at Victory alongside fighters experienced in the cage and other novices like myself. I feel I have quickly improved in strength, body composition, skill and flexibility. These improvements are a testament not only to the high quality of instruction, but also to the culture and fellow students I train along side with. I could not keep this experience to myself--I signed up my 6 year boy in the kids MMA class (I am looking forward to enrolling my other boy when he becomes old enough). The kids MMA class is more than learning mixed martial arts--it is also about learning to become better people. The instructors keep each child engaged throughout the class. Learning to focus is key; something that I found lacking in the kids programs at other local Karate and Tae Kwon Do schools. If you or your child is looking for a martial arts school, I strongly recommend giving Victory Martial Arts in Naperville a shot. They offer a no pressure 2-week free trial and the school is very affordable.

If youre looking to get in better shape, become more confident with yourself, study mixed martial arts, and make alot of new friends, this academy is for you. Ive been training here for about a year and a half now and from day one I knew this place was different than other martial arts academies. I had absolutely no MMA experience going in and everybody made me feel welcome and comfortable. Victory MMA has made a huge impact on my life. Ive made many friends and Ive become a better person mentally as well physically. The training is intense and the instructors are phenomenal. Sensei Grisko is truly a great person and an excellent instructor. Whether you have years of mma experience or want to try it for the first time, definitely give this place a try. Go Victory Family!

I have been training with Victory Martial Arts Naperville under Sensei Adam Grisko for almost 3 years now and I cant say enough positive things about it. From the Victory founder Sifu Dion Riccardo all the way down to the new students theres a never ending pursuit of excellence. And at Victory Naperville the head instructor Sensei Adam Grisko is no different. He is a man of honor and respect that teaches you way more than just MMA. He has world class teaching ability and a wealth of knowledge that can accommodate all experience levels. But the thing that sets him apart is the care that he has for each of his students. He has instilled a positive growth conducive atmosphere that hits you right as you walk into the door. When new students stop in they are always taken care of and treated like family. If youre looking for a positive training environment to learn martial arts then look no further than Victory Martial Arts Naperville.

Victory MMA teaches martial arts from the fundamentals down to the experienced levels if you are new to Martial arts or MMA definitely check it out you cant go wrong and you get the 2 weeks free to try it out. personally i noticed changes that i came looking for, not just mentally but physically as well whether your in it for the workout or you love the sport its a great gym overall helped me out alot and built up my confidence. i love the fam at the dojo :)

Review №76

Before my son, who is 8, started at Victory Martial Arts he was a total couch potato and video game addict. During summer vacation he would stay inside and not want to play with friends. He was shy, quiet and never one to want any attention thrown his way. He tried a few sports before but grew frustrated when having to learn something new and would quit no matter how much encouragement he received. By chance I found Victory Martial Arts just blocks from our house. I talked to my son and he said he would try MMA. He started May of this year, 2012.When he first walked into the dojo you could tell he was overwhelmed. New faces and not knowing what to do is intimidating for a shy child but right away he was greeted by a Sensei who shook his hand, introduced himself and proceeded to show him around the dojo and introduce him to fellow team mates. He was focused and tried his best the first day. The car ride home that first night was a quiet one. My son is a thinker by nature and you could tell he was processing everything he learned that night. He leaned over and told me “mom, when do I go back?” I was thrilled because finally he found his fit and was extremely excited to go back. This excitement never faded, it grew!The one thing he always wanted was a trophy. He would see his friends and knew it took a lot of work to get one. He would get very disappointed with himself because he never stayed with a team long enough earn one. I told him one day he would get his own and that day came when he received his first belt. When Sensei called him to step in front of the class he wasn’t sure what was going to happen. When he was presented with his first belt you could see a change in him. A confidence I’ve never seen beamed through him. That night as I was leaving his room after saying goodnight he said “I did it mom, I got my trophy” and clutched his belt. He was so proud of himself and had to show everyone he could his new belt. He even slept in it for two weeks.6 months later, one belt rank higher and on his way to the next rank, there have been many positive changes in him. He is more respectful, focused on tasks at hand, participates in school in group settings and does things on his own when before he would need to be told. I contribute these positive changes to his Sensei’s, student teachers and fellow team mates who do not allow him to fall back into his comfort zone and watch from the sideline but instead everyone is always pushing him to be better, giving him encouragement, strength and confidence to face anything. He walks with his head held a little higher and runs to the mats on the days he has class ready to go. He is eager to learn and advance. He strives to make his Sensei’s proud and his fellow team mates proud as well. He is not the same little man who walked into the dojo in May. The changes I’ve seen are remarkable and it’s because of his Victory family.
