    My kids (ages 3 and 4) have been attending Victory Martial Art's Tiny Tiger program now for a…read morecouple of months and they absolutely love it. We found Victory Martial Arts through a promo they were running on Facebook. When we attended, it happened to be during one of the Tiny Tiger programs itself so I was able to see how professional and engaging the teachers are as well as how well behaved the kids are. Obviously they are at the age where their attention wanders, and while my kids are very guilty of this, the instructors and their student helpers are fantastic with reengaging them. My children are learning life skills, like defense against strangers, respect, as well as gaining self confidence all wrapped up in a fun environment that they look forward to coming to every week. It's also a bonus - the Tiny Tigers program has a class every day of the week so if I needed to switch our schedule around - I absolutely can. Which really works out well for our busy family. We love Victory Martial Arts and am very glad that we signed up!

Mr. C and Ms. Pedro are great people. Anyone else has no business being around children or being in charge of who is allowed to be around children or is delusional about who they are working for. They teach their employees car salesman techniques to sell memberships and the goal is for you not to leave without purchasing something. My son loved to compete in the ATA tournaments and because ATA hates Victory, Victory began making people buy new uniforms and weapons that were not ATA, like equipment wasn't expensive enough.

    I'm writing this to inform other parents about our experience at Odin's Halls BJJ…read more My seven year old son trained there for four months. When we signed the 12-month contract, I specifically asked what would happen if he lost interest. At his age, that's always a possibility. We were told by one of the coaches that early cancellation would result in a one- to two-month penalty. Based on that representation, we signed. After four months, we decided to withdraw him because we were not satisfied with the quality of his training. When I informed the school and the owner, Steve, that we intended to cancel, I was told we would have to pay half of the remaining contract balance. That was not clearly stated in the agreement as we understood it, nor was it what we were told at enrollment. When I raised this discrepancy, Steve stated the coach had been "misinformed" and "misspoke." After I remained firm on canceling, communication stopped. That raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability. The more troubling issue happened later at a NAGA tournament. After leaving Odin's Hall, there was a break in my son's training while we searched for a new academy. He then joined Cobrinha and registered for the novice, no-submission division (white belt, six months and under training). At the tournament, we were informed that a coach from Odin's Hall contacted the organization claiming my son should be bumped up to the beginner division (with submissions) because he had trained over six months at their gym and had prior wrestling experience. This was inaccurate. * He trained at Odin's Hall for four months. * We had email documentation confirming the cancellation timeline. * There was a gap in training before he joined his new academy. * The brief wrestling class he attended was actually a requirement at Odin's Hall for their competition team -- and all of their students participate in wrestling. What shocked me most was the attempt to move a seven-year-old into a submission division when they knew they had never taught him submissions. This tournament division was specifically six months and under, novice, no-submission for safety reasons. Moving him up would have exposed him to techniques he had not been trained to defend against. As a parent, that is extremely concerning. Youth martial arts programs should prioritize child safety and development above rivalry or competitive positioning.

    Impressive program! The coaching was fantastic. Unfortunately, the price is beyond our budget, and…read moreparking was a challenge. I have a large vehicle, and maneuvering in and out would be extremely stressful for me.

    As a parent, putting your child into something new can be nerve-wracking--especially when they've…read morebeen homeschooled most of their life like my son. This year was his first time in a traditional school setting, and unfortunately, he experienced some bullying. He's naturally very shy, doesn't have many friends his age, and lacks confidence. That's what led his dad and I to look into self-defense classes--not because we want him to fight, but because we want him to feel confident, strong, and capable of standing up for himself. Walking into the class, he was extremely nervous. He didn't know what to expect, and honestly, neither did we. At one point, I truly thought he was going to ask to leave because he felt so overwhelmed. But then one of the senseis noticed him struggling and came over. He spoke to him so kindly and patiently, reassuring him that he was safe, that this was just a trial class, and that he would help him learn step by step. That moment meant everything. He didn't just teach--he connected. He took the time to guide him, correct him gently, and make him feel comfortable. THANK YOU ! Sensei JERELL CEPHAS By the end of the class, I expected my son to say he never wanted to come back... but instead, he surprised me. He said, "Yes, I was really scared and nervous... but I liked it. I think I need this. I had fun." And to please enroll him into classes . That right there meant the world to me. All of the senseis were great, but the patience, care, and attention this sensei showed my son truly stood out. If you have a child who is shy, struggling with confidence, or just needs a positive environment to grow, I highly recommend this place. My son came home and tried to practice the moves he was told in class and wanted to learn more ! :)

    My son, Seth, had an amazing first day at Cephas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! From the moment we arrived,…read morethe staff and instructors were welcoming, patient, and encouraging. They made learning fun while creating a positive environment where he felt comfortable and excited to participate. He had such a great time that he was already asking when he could come back before we even left! Thank you for providing such a wonderful, fun, and supportive experience for Seth. We're looking forward to many more classes and highly recommend Cephas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to other families.

    Honestly one of the most disappointing experiences I've had with a company. I was charged a late…read morefee for being only 3 days late on my annual fee, yet I never received a single email reminder, warning, or courtesy notice beforehand, even though I had interacted with them several times leading up to it. What really makes this upsetting is the timing. During those same few days, my card had been stolen and I was attending a funeral for a loved one. I was already dealing with enough emotionally and financially, and instead of showing even a little understanding or compassion over a 3-day delay, they immediately added extra charges. It's hard to support a business that treats customers like numbers instead of human beings. A little empathy and communication would have gone a long way.

    FELT LIKE A SCAM I…read moresigned up for a membership in October 2025 after being contacted by an employee named Jack Suggs, who offered a "fight night" promotion. The deal was 18 months for the price of 12, with full payment required upfront. It sounded like a great offer, so I agreed and paid in full. Right after the call, I received the membership agreement by email--but it only showed 12 months, not 18 as promised. I immediately tried to call Jack, but couldn't reach him. When he responded the next day via text, he said the manager at the time, Chris Ortega, would take care of it. He explained that the extra 6 months wouldn't appear on the contract because it was a special promotion, but assured me it would be added. I trusted that explanation. About 6 months later, another employee approached me about a new promotion. I declined, assuming I still had plenty of time left on my membership. That's when I was told my contract was only for 12 months. By then, both Jack and Chris were no longer with the gym. I spoke with the current manager, who told me he could only honor what was written in the contract and couldn't do anything about what was promised by previous staff. While I understand his position, it doesn't change the fact that I paid based on a deal that was never honored. Overall, this experience felt misleading and disappointing. I recommend getting everything clearly written in your contract before making any upfront payments.
