I'll admit, by the time my first class rolled around, I was nervous and pretty intimidated. I didn't know what to expect or whether I'd keep up. That worry didn't last long. From the moment I signed up for the intro class through every session since, the welcome I've received has been genuine and encouraging. Marco does a great job breaking down techniques and drills step by step, and always gives plenty of time to practice with a partner so it actually sinks in. I'm still new to this, but I feel more comfortable and confident after every single class. And honestly, it's just fun. If you've been on the fence about trying it just go for it. You've got nothing to lose!

My two kids appear to also have a great time since Master Kevin/Cho both teach them how to be respectful to one another as well as their elders. The dojang (korean for training hall) is brand new and Master Kevin plans to create a place where it's safe and inviting for all guests.

I have been taking Ironhide's Medieval Combat class for over 3 years now and can confidently say…read morethis is one of the best programs in the country. Their instructor, Josh Kearney, is a seasoned veteran with extensive knowledge of the sport. His courses are designed to prepare students at every level of expertise, regardless of whether you have participated in a combat sport or not. The program is a great way to spend your time, whether you intend to become a high-performing fighter or are just looking for something fun to do after work/school. I have trained and competed at a division I level for over 10 years and truly believe Ironhide contains the facilities, expertise, and community of an olympic-level training program. If you are considering participating in one of Ironhide's courses I would encourage you to join. The instructors are truly experts in their field and will do their best to provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed as an athlete.

Although I spar with other Jiu Jitsu trainees many years younger than me none of them have caused me any injuries. I chose this gym over others because of the intensity of the training tempo and the vast knowledge of the instructors in which 5 of them are veteran military/law enforcement, as I am, and are Jiu Jitsu black belts with hundreds of competition medals and trophies. My 12-year-old son also trains here and loves it. He's an honors straight A+s student with maximum confidence thanks to our great instructors who mentor him like big brothers/fathers. Overall, we have a ton of fun and have made great life-long friends who will do anything for each other!

As a single parent, it's priceless to have support in raising a confident young man that can navigate through life without getting 'caught up' in the craziness around him. I've had several parents ask if it's worth the $$. ABSOLUTELY yes! There are so many perks that come with it - family classes, strong camps, parent nights out, AMAZING birthday parties, self defense classes, fight club and even more! It really is a COMMUNITY that I didn't know we were missing! And it's not all serious-faced structure, the instructors and instructors-in-training are focused AND friendly! I cannot say enough good things about Victory Martial Arts!

There is competition but not at someone's expense. I have been very impressed with the students and instructors here. I started Tae Kwon Do in 1992 so I have had different instructors along the way. The facilities itself are amazing. Grandmaster Choi has the largest Tae Kwon Do floor I have ever seen. Its bigger than a basketball court. In another part of his building he has a full gym where he offers other different aerobics classes. I looked into the other Tae Kwon Do schools before I decided on going here. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn martial arts or who just want to start where they left off.

I've achieved my 3rd degree black belt from John Chung Tae Kwon Do. This was 14 years ago when…read moreJohn Chung ran a school in Long Island, New York. I have to say, Sahbumnim (teacher) John Chung was one of the most charismatic, knowledgable, and hands on teachers that I've ever had in my martial arts journey. His style of teaching has been forever molded in my mind and until now (I've since moved to California), it is very hard for me to find a school that compares in quality. I'm so glad that he still has a school to this day and that others are able to experience the teachings that I took for granted in my youth. If you decide to take a chance and walk through the door of a John Chung Tae Kwon Do institute, you will be pleasantly surprised and I guarantee that you will learn something that will last you a lifetime.

OTF Leesburg is in a decent location, and I enjoy the roughly quarter-hour drive there -- not too…read morebad. The studio itself is clean, and well maintained. However, I have a long-standing problem with all OTF studios in general. I am unable to make a single acquaintance so far. I have been hoping to find a gf or at least a friend through these workouts and sessions. So far it has not panned out. They say keep trying, but it's the mentality that OTF promotes that is to blame. Almost all members arrive on the dot at class time and leave the studio right when it ends. Certainly some of them do it out of spite. The fact remains that one will have a better chance at finding a unicorn than forging social connections through these studios. I have been going repeatedly about half a dozen or so times to the Leesburg studio. It has not worked out once. I am inherently shy so I can never get a word out to start with. Also most people either ignore me or look like they want to do bad things to me. I should clarify, Leesburg is not my home studio. I have Unlimited membership, and I pay 180$ per month for it. That is way too much in my opinion. Certainly not to get ambivalent treatment from the front desk and the coaches here. Certainly not to swing and a miss a hundred percent of a time, with all the members here. It pains me incredibly that even though I want to forge meaningful social connections through here, the mentality that OTF promotes is the exact opposite of it. I do not have anyone to partner and do the work outs with. I cannot meet or befriend anyone in these work outs, in order to partner with them in the future. Hence, an eternal catch 22, and hence a lower rating. I will likely revisit, but I cannot recommend. I am overall reconsidering my membership as I pay way too much monthly for no real benefit other than exercise, and the thing is that socially and mentally this is rather draining for me, without even a single acquaintance at OTF in general.
